This document provides tips and procedures for implementing Chromebooks in a K-5 public elementary school. It recommends starting with a small pilot to test the devices on the network infrastructure and ensure staff and students are ready for deployment. It also advises enrolling devices in the Google domain using Control-Alt-E to allow management through the Admin console and considering a generic first account as the device owner to manage permissions centrally. Wiping devices rather than power washing allows re-enrolling them in the domain. The summary emphasizes that Chromebooks are easy to implement with many online resources available for support.
