Like many teachers, I’m sure if you have technical problems on your Chromebook you can call some sort of a tech department for help. That said, sometimes it takes some time for the tech department to get around to fixing your issue, and some Chromebook issues are so easy to fix that it’s actually not even worth calling the tech team… This is one of those issues!
If you have Chromebooks in your classroom you will probably have this happen to you on more than one occasion, your students go to type on the keyboard and instead of typing the letter that it says on the key, the Chromebook starts to type some other letter. And of course, since students need to sign in to the Chromebook in order to use it, this is essential and makes the Chromebook totally useless until you figure out how to fix the problem. Luckily it will literally take less than 30 seconds to fix!
