Again, if you don't like CBs, don't use them, but don't bash something you don't completely understand. For us education IT guys, these things are a cost effective and efficient way to get computing access to our students. With just one click, you can insert a Skype call link right from within Gmail, Google Inbox, Google Calendar, and Twitter to make it easier than. For basic web, email and doc creation, you cannot beat the bang for the buck. I'm tired of hearing people bash CBs, if you want to play high end games, get a high end desktop/laptop, if you want to run Abode Premier, do the same. It took our techs a ton of work hours getting the PCs ready to run the SBAC program. In fact, when our state did a test run of our SBAC testing, all I did was spend 30 sections making the SBAC chrome app a kiosk app in the Google Apps admin panel and all of our CBs had it on the next reboot. These units work well for the education sector and are much simpler to admin than a traditional PC. If you depend on Skype for voice-and-video chatting, you may want to try Google Hangouts instead. There’s no official voice or video support yet, but there are ways around that.
#Skype for google chromebook install#
Click the Install button to download Skype to your Chromebook. Microsoft does offer a web-based version of Skype, so you can chat with your friends on your Chromebook.
Type skype in the search bar and press Enter. Microsoft no longer allows you to install the Android version of Office on Chromebooks, so. I have started to see a big shift in the use of Gmail and Google Docs/Drive in place of our email and MS Office suite. Tap the launcher icon at the bottom-left corner of the screen to open the Chromebook desktop. The best option for running Microsoft Office on a Chromebook is via the Microsoft 365 web app suite. I think the main factors are that they do what they are supposed to do very well and the tie in to Google Apps for Education is very instrumental to their use. I'm a tech in a school district that has over 1200 chromebooks (with a ton more on the way) and I have to say that our instructional staff has really taken to these devices.
