Your Chromebook Apps
Google Drive: Cloud Storage
Store all of your documents here (Google Drive) and access them from any device, anywhere with an Internet connection. In addition to District/LVS Chromebooks, you can access your Google docs on any computer, iPad, iPhone, Android, or any Internet-accessible device of your choice. However, we at LVS strongly recommend that you only use the school-issued Chromebook for file management.
Google Docs: Word Processor
Similar to Microsoft Word, Google Docs are editable documents stored in your Google drive. Like Drive, there are apps for your computer, iPads, Android tablet, and phones so that you can edit your documents anywhere.
Google Sheets: Spreadsheet
Similar to Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets can be accessed with any Internet enabled device.
Google Slides: Presentation Software
Similar to Microsoft PowerPoint, Google Slides can be accessed with any Internet enabled device.
Google Classroom
Your classroom in the cloud. Teachers can easily distribute and collect assignments via Google Classroom.
Google Drawings
Drawing and diagram application.
Google Keep
Your virtual notebook that syncs data across all of your devices.
Installing Additional Apps
Most apps will be installed and updated for you automatically. On occasion, a teacher may ask you to install an app that is needed for specific coursework. You can do so by clicking on the Web Store icon. You will only be able to install apps that have already been approved by both LCSD and LVS. Your teacher should tell you specifically which app has been approved and needs to be installed.
