Chromebook Tech Tips

  • Check out this week's Chromebook Tech Tip from Mrs. Story! Tech Tip Video - Mrs. Story

  • Hey BHRA Students -Today’s tip of the day is what to do when you have any problems with your chromebook. If you are at school and notice your chromebook is almost dead, bring it to the library and drop it off to be charged.  You’ll be given a loaner chromebook to use for a couple of hours. If you have a problem with your chromebook, you can bring it to the library during 8th hour for Ms. Mathis to look at it. If you aren’t able to come in then or your chromebook quits working, bring it into the library and drop it off to be looked at, and you will be given a loaner chromebook to use.
