Important information about English on Chromebooks

What is there to know about your Chromebook and English !

  1. Your Chromebook (CB) is always fully recharged. This is your own responsibility.
  2. Recharging your CB can be done at home, or in your locker at school. No recharged CB? Then you cannot participate in class. You will get other work to do in class and you must do the lesson at home.
  3. You take your own earphones to school and to every lesson.
  4. You only open your CB when the teacher tells you to.
  5. Your teacher uses the programme Insight, so your teacher can see what you are doing on your CB.
  6. You have downloaded your part Insight Student from the Google Store and you have activated the App. Don't worry if you haven't. Your teacher will help you.
  7. If you are at a site that is not allowed, your teacher can exclude you from the lesson. You have to catch up the lesson at home.
  8. When we do not use the CB, it is closed. Think of speaking assignments, or group work.
  9. We work by means of a study planner (Studiewijzer) in Magister.
    1. This study planner consists of lessons, of course you are allowed to work ahead at school, but first discuss this with your teacher. Please do not work ahead at home.
    2. You will get a Work plan from your teacher for each subject (in this case holidays and travel). How to use this work plan will be explained later.
    3. You also need a notebook to write new words in, but also to write down the answers of some exercises.
    4. Please bring a plastic file (snelhechter) from home. Every now and then you'll get separate sheets from your teacher. You can keep all the separate sheets in this file.
  10. Working with this programme is not a match. It is important that you know and understand everything.
  11. You can use WRTS to practise words and sentences. We will come back to this later.
  12. During the lesson we talk English only. Not only teacher-student, but also student-student. In this way you learn to speak English much faster.
  13. Sometimes the teacher will speak Dutch to explain a difficult grammatical subject.
