Chromebook Scavenger Hunt

Introduction to the Chromebook

A Digital Scavenger Hunt for Teachers

This scavenger hunt was created for a course I am taking at the Professional Development Institute and will be used for a Google Chromebook workshop in January 2015. Teachers will access suggested websites, Youtube Videos and Google Chrome Support to answer questions and become familiar with the Chromebook. Because this is a Google Doc, I will be able to update and edit the contents at anytime via my Google Drive. Have fun!
