Migration from the Chrome apps to the native apps

Description

Google has announced that it will phase out the Chrome apps on all platforms except for Chrome OS. The announcement is available here . It seems that sometimes in 2018, the support will be removed.

The Teacher application is a Chrome app. Therefore, we have created a replacement of the app for the users who use Windows. We will not remove support from the existing Teacher app, but Google will stop making it available at a certain point.

Therefore we strongly recommend moving to the new native Teacher app for Windows.

How to migrate

1. On your Windows machine download and install the application from the links below (System requirements are available here):
   • Microsoft Store - go to store here
   • .EXE files

     • 64 bit – download  here
