Since Chromebooks are browser-based, parental
Since Chromebooks are browser-based, parental controls have to be handled a little differently. Google gives you a few tools you can use to keep your child safe. You can use Google’s Family Link app to monitor and control your child’s use of a Chromebook or cell phone, both Android and iPhones. The app is available in both the iTunes and Google Play stores. The app can control accounts on Chromebooks and Android devices and now iPhones. Family Link allows you to view their activity, keep an eye on apps and screen time.

Here are some more settings you want to put in place to help your student stay safer when using Chromebooks.
1. You should be the first one to sign in to the Chromebook for the first time. The first person to sign into a Chromebook becomes the owner account. The owner account controls who can sign into the Chromebook.
2. Click on the system tray where the clock is in the bottom right corner and choose the settings gear.
3. In settings, click on Manage other People.
4. Turn off Enable Guest Browsing since Guest Browsing does not save any settings or history.
5. Turn on Restrict sign-in to the following users:
6. Click Add People and type in your child’s school Google account. This is to keep them from signing in with accounts they may have created that you may know nothing about.
Schools are required to filter their campus WiFi networks and you will want to find a way to filter your home network. We use the Circle with Disney device at my house with great success. It is a device that you plug into your home network router and then control it with an app. It filters every device connected to your home network. I wrote a blog post that covers Circle with Disney as well as some other options for monitoring devices. https://www.techlovinmom.com/home-int...
Chromebooks can be great devices for education, but we still need to take a few steps to keep our children safe while they use them.
The best-rated Chromebook is, of course, the Google Pixelbook that was created especially by Google to run Chrome OS. It is a bit pricey for a Chromebook but is one of the best. https://amzn.to/30gCz8L (Affilitate)
If you want a Chromebook that is a little more affordable, Amazon has picked out three of the best in three different price ranges.
One of my favorite Chromebook brands is CTL Chromebooks. I have purchased around 50 of them for the school where I work and they have been very reliable. In over two years, I have only had to send back two for repair when students broke them so they are also well made. Check out the CTL Chromebooks at this website: http://bit.ly/CTLChromebooks
As promised, my son would love it if people would visit (and subscribe) to his YouTube channel: AwesomeGuy 1o1 YouTube Channel
