Chromebook Logger Extension

This extension is designed to streamline Chromebook management in educational settings by automatically logging essential information each time a user logs in. 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.
Device Serial Number and Asset ID: Helps in tracking each specific Chromebook, allowing schools to manage their devices accurately.
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.

Benefits for Schools
This extension is especially beneficial for school environments, providing multiple advantages:

Student and Staff Device Management: Track who is using which device, when, and where, supporting security, accountability, and efficient distribution of resources.
Resource Planning: By logging usage patterns, IT staff can plan for device maintenance, upgrades, and replacements, ensuring that each Chromebook remains in optimal condition.
Enhanced Security Monitoring: The logging of IP addresses and login timestamps allows administrators to monitor device access and identify any unusual patterns, adding a layer of security.
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.
