Setting up GAFE and Chromebooks
HP Chromebook 11
The team and I (@BradFord_Cathed, @gper56, @carolinemullins & me: @lee_swift) are helping a country Western Australian school (Sacred Heart Catholic School Goomalling –http://www.shcsgoom.wa.edu.au) set up their new HP Chromebook 11′s and Google Apps for Education.
The school currently has iPads and Windows desktops but their Principal (Therese Hussy – @tmhussey) was very keen to trail the new kid on the block and has purchased 20 Chromebooks.
They will be used as shared devices, mixed throughout the whole school.

The school recently refurnished their library space to include breakout couches, and this has been adopted into each classroom as well. There science area has just had a 70″ Sharp LED TV installed above the whiteboard and with the attached Apple TV students and teachers are enjoying the un-thethered freedom!
Back to why we all went out:
Therese had already registered for GAFE and verified the device licenses for the 20 Chromebooks, so on arrival we jumped straight onto the GAFE interface and started uploading users. While you can add users individually if you have a system that holds user data (Maze, Synergetic or you can even sync Active Directory) you can upload users in bulk.
