- 28. Managing Chromebooks ● Chrome apps can be pushed out to students en masse from the Admin Dashboard. ● Apps can go to specific year groups, or the entire student body, depending on needs/organization ● Apps are not assigned to Chromebooks, they are assigned to end users, (ie. students and teachers). ● Once an app is pushed out to a user, they will have access to it on any Chromebook they log into with that account. ● If a student logs in with a personal Google account, they will have different apps to a school Google account.
