Презентация и примерный текст ниже.

Provide Tech Help Remotely Through Chrome Remote Desktop This week I'm taking a few days off to ski, play with my dogs, visit with friends and family, and generally recharge my batteries. If you're on vacation this week too, I hope that you're having a great vacation. While I'm away I'm rerunning the most popular posts of the year. Yesterday, I received an email with a question about how to remotely help students and teachers with the Chrome browser and with Chromebooks.

To access and control another person's computer you just need to enter the access code that they provide to you.

Here are some of the favorites.
