Loupe for Chromebook Education
Loupe is excited to be the only photo collage app recommended by the Google Chromebooks for Education App Pack.
The Google App Pack contains popular educational apps found in the Chrome Web Store. Each pack includes a variety of educational tools made directly available through the Chromebook Management Console. With the Chromebook Management Console, teachers are able to publish apps directly to each student's Chromebook in their network. That means that you are able to install Loupe onto every student's Chromebook with one click.
If you haven't already set up your Chromebook, read "Here's how to set up App Packs for your Chromebooks."
