Students may try to hide what they are doing. Students may try using the 2nd virtual desktop to watch a video after clicking on the first one to make it the "active" desktop.

However, GG will still show the additional virtual desktop tabs as being open on the student device.

Hopefully you signed up for a new Chromebook from our earlier survey. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Freshman Chromebooks </b>- It could be a long time before they arrive so we may have to start school with some different models. If that occurs, we are planning on using the olde staff units as well as the graduating seniors devices that they are not purchasing.

If I hadn't known what to look for, I would've easily been fooled as the scammers have gotten pretty good at making things look good.<br /><br />I consider myself pretty tech savvy and am usually pretty good at sniffing out scams, as I've never been scammed before.
