Chromebooks are different from traditional laptops or desktop computers. A Chromebook allows you to access the Internet to browse the web and to use most web-based applications. You cannot install programs on a Chromebook.

Your Chromebook will have the following features:

• Touch screen
• Webcam
• Two USB ports
• Micro SD Card Reader
• Headphone/Microphone combo jack

Power button is typically located:

• On the right side of the device, next to the USB port or
• On the upper-right of the keyboard.

Log into the Chromebook with your WakeID credentials. Only a valid WakeID can be used to log into a WCPSS Chromebook. Instructions to log into the WakeID Portal are posted at: mywakeid.wcpss.net/login.

Guest access is disabled.
