TRSD Chromebook Information and Troubleshooting

Introductory Chromebook Tips

  • You must login to your Chromebook using your TRSD Google account and password. It will then automatically connect you to all your Google files and apps. Your personal Google account will not work on school-managed Chromebooks.
  • If your Chromebook has a handle it is recommended that you use this handle to carry the device. If there is not a handle the device should be closed and carried using two hands.
  • A right click is accomplished by hitting the trackpad with two fingers at once or using “alt” + click.
  • You should shut down and reboot your Chromebook at least once a week – that brings down updates.
