How does Google docs have anything to do with Chrome?
Chrome is the browser used to run your google docs. If you are staff or student of ADHS you will have a Google account, in the form firstname.lastname@actetd.com. Use this to log onto chrome, that will allow you to log on to any device and it will automatically load your documents, your settings and all of your apps.
If you are not staff or student at ADHS you can create your own google account in a variety of ways, including through Gmail and Google Drive. Once you have this account you can log into chrome, download your own apps and create your documents in Google Drive that will then be available anywhere you have an internet connection.
