Chromebook Care and Home Use guidelines for Families:
- Use the device only on flat work surfaces like a kitchen table or desk, and never on the student’s lap, the floor, or while laying down on a bed or sofa to prevent accidental damage.
- Have students use the device in public spaces in the home, and never in the student’s bedroom with the door closed. This helps establish that parents can more easily monitor usage.
- Never have food or drinks near the device to avoid catastrophic liquid spill damage.
- Never place a device on a flat horizontal surface where people sit or stand like the floor or a chair to prevent accidental damage.
- Never carry a Chromebook or laptop by the screen, this can cause irreparable damage.
- Charge the device while it rests on a table or other safe flat surface, but not in its carrying case. Many carrying cases have padding for protection, but this acts like a blanket and can cause devices to overheat while charging.
