SelmaTeacher7 Mr. Berry here. Today along be going over using the
Chrome Web Store to find applications even applications that run offline or
when you have no internet as well as going into the Play Store now the Play
Store does run on the newest of your Chromebooks so today I'll be using the
cb5 515 Chromebook from Acer as a display so here we are inside of my Acer
Chromebook this is the model cb5 1/5 that does come with a touchscreen so it
does allow us to use the Google Play Store now not all Chromebooks have
access to the Play Store only the newest systems that have a touchscreen so
remember this when you're selecting your new Chromebook this lesson amor start
with the Chrome Web Store so first off that's fine the webstore go to the lower
corner and click on the launcher and you may see it in this list of applications
if you don't see it in the list you can't click on the carrot and it reveals
more applications as you see here now for my case it was the very first one
there so let's go ahead and just click on that one and let's talk about what
we're seeing here first off in the upper left hand corner you would see where it
says Chrome Web Store that's the name of the application that we're actually
running now below that we have searched the store so if you have the title of
one of the applications or extensions that you want to use you make it in
there or you can actually key in a description of the type of app that
you're looking for and hopefully you'll find it next we have the word extensions
Chrome extensions are small software programs that customize the browsing
experience for you they enable users to tailor chrome functionality and behavior
to individual needs or even preferences they are built on web technologies such
as HTML Javascript and CSS next we have themes themes allow us to
change the backgrounds of our desktop or our browser
next our apps chrome apps can work seamlessly into the desktop and look
more like desktop applications than traditional web apps in fact these apps
can run offline and make the Chromebook extremely useful then we have games now
there are literally millions and millions of different games that you can
be adding on to your Chromebook the next area we see is types so are we looking
for Chrome apps or websites below that we have categories so let's go ahead and
click on categories and we have popular and then we have popular in the US
business tools education entertainment games lifestyle news and weather
productivity social communication and even utilities below that I have
features so if I was looking for applications that run offline we would
click that and right away we noticed that the list is refreshed with the apps
that run offline next we have ratings where you can choose applications that
have the five star rating four star three star or just the two star ratings
now what we're going to do right now is actually look through and find a popular
app so I'm going to go over here already know the name of it so I'm going to
click up here towards to search the store and type in the word cut and then
I'm going to hit the enter key once from these results the very first ones are
the extensions and then we have the themes for cut the rope if they keep on
going down and haha now we find the applications for Cut the Rope let's see
if I want to add one so I'll click right here on add to Chrome and then we see a
pop-up window appear here and it asked us do you want to add cut the rope click
on add the app and you'll be installing on your Chromebook as well as into your
Google account so if you were to log into another Chromebook you would also
find the application there there we go now it's been added so now that we've
added this cut the rope application let's go down to
the app launcher click it and any applications that you've recently added
will be found here and it's a very first app so I'll click on that one there and
here it starts I'm going to click on Play and start the program here now cut
the rope is a really good tool that shows you or teaches you how to use your
mouse so I've actually used this with senior citizens who have never used the
mouse before so in order to cut the rope you drag across it so you hold the left
clicker down and you drag across it there and you feed this little creature
then click on next so as you can see the challenges has become more difficult so
again you're swiping the mouse over that rope and then swipe the last one there
and you have that job done now when you're done with the application you can
click on the little X here to close it off and it close it off now if you
wanted to go in and uninstall an application it's easy to uninstall
applications just click on the three dots which is the customized control
Google Chrome and then go down to more tools and then go down to the word
extensions once you click there you'll find the apps and extensions that are
installed in your Google account you can click up here to where it says search
and if I type in the word cut it brings cut the rope if I want to uninstall cut
the rope I click on remove and you know ask me are you sure you want to remove
this application click on remove and it's uninstalled so now it's easier than
ever to install or uninstall new apps on your Google account or your Chromebook
ok the next thing I want to show you is installing a Productivity app such as
Microsoft Office onto your Chromebook you can go over here to the launcher
again and let's go back into the webstore
and this time we're going to be typing in Microsoft Office and hitting that in
Turkey so here we found Microsoft Office and I've already added it if I scroll
down the list a little bit we see I also see Microsoft Word so you can find the
Microsoft suite in the Google environment and here we see Microsoft
Word now this version works online only if I want to do things with word
processing offline I would use Google Docs or Google sheets next let's find
the Play Store now here it's pinned to my shelf
so I'll click it this is the exact same one that you find on your Android
smartphones and notice that we can do a search here so if I wanted to look for
Microsoft Office I just type that in hit enter and there is the Microsoft Office
where I can install this one so let's click on install here it's downloading
there we go now it's been successfully installed let's click on open click on
allow on any of the pop-up windows that may appear log into your office account
click on sign in you'll then be greeted with the word documents home where you
can find your work that you made in the past or create a new document now just
to let you know that I do prefer Google Docs over Microsoft Word there's
actually more features now in Google Docs than Microsoft Word ever had and it
just keeps on growing plus you can edit all of your Microsoft
Word documents using nothing but Google Docs and Google Docs works offline now
if you don't find the Google Playstore by going into the app launcher and then
looking through the list if you don't see it there you can add it just go down
here to the google chrome go to the customize control Google Chrome
and go down to settings now click on the three lines up in the upper left hand
corner of this window where it says settings and then look for the Google
Play Store here now if you haven't added it it will be a button here that says
install or add to your Chrome and you'll be able to click it and then install it
onto your account that way and I would like to remind you at this point that
the Google Play Store is only found on the newer Chromebooks that have touch
screens and that concludes our lesson please give this video a thumbs up
