Here’s what it does and why it can be an invaluable tool for school administrators and IT staff: Upon login, the extension collects: User Email: Identifies who is using the device, providing traceability for each login. User Profile Information: Retrieves the user’s first and last name, making it easy to match logins with individuals.

IP Address: Logs the location of the device during each session for added security insights. Login Date and Time: Captures the exact timestamp of each login event, creating a clear timeline of device use. All collected information is sent securely to a designated Google Sheets document. This creates a centralized, real-time log that authorized school personnel can access as needed.

Resource Planning: By logging usage patterns, IT staff can plan for device maintenance, upgrades, and replacements, ensuring that each Chromebook remains in optimal condition.

Centralized Reporting: With data automatically updated in Google Sheets, administrators gain instant access to reports for audits, troubleshooting, or other analyses—saving time on manual tracking. This extension helps schools efficiently monitor and manage their Chromebook fleet, supporting accountability, safety, and the effective use of resources across educational networks.
