Passwords
When Chromebooks are deployed for the first time learners’ passwords are set in Teacher Dashboard to a generic, easy to remember password e.g. 2030room6 . See Chromebook Deployment. Typically learners with Chromebooks will use this generic password while learning to navigate their device. Use the following resources to empower learners to understand the importance of creating a unique passphrase and keeping it private. We recommend engaging learners prior to logging into their individual blogs i.e. after 6-8 weeks of deliberate teaching of Cybersmart: Smart Learners
If you have older learners (Year 7-8+) they might find the passphrase activity here interesting and fun. Content can be repurposed and designed to engage learners over a series of lessons.
