Why did we started using Chromebooks?
Why did we started using Chromebooks?
We started using Chromebooks during the 2016-2017 school year for multiple reasons. First, they are less costly and more durable than our Dell Computers. Second, they allow us to set up and take State tests on. Third, they can be setup, cleaned and updated much faster than laptops, which again saves money. Fourth, their battery life (and stamina) last much longer (up to 8 hours per charge). Fifth, we have two different types, one is has a smaller keyboard for our younger students and it also has a touch screen to be used to write on. Sixth, they update constantly and there is a much less chance of getting a computer virus. Seventh, they are Google Suite compatible, which is primarily the products we use in our course.
