Back to school with Chromebooks for Education
Thursday, August 25, 2011
Summer may be winding down, but Chromebooks are heating up. Over on the
Google Enterprise Blog
today, we’re excited to share stories from the first three schools to hit the ground running with
Chromebooks for Education
. Chromebooks are fast, simple, and secure, and these benefits can be quite powerful in the classroom. Chromebooks increase time spent learning with a super-fast bootup, protect against viruses with
built-in security features
, and provide seamless access to all the great educational apps on the web. Plus, regular updates from Google mean that Chromebooks actually
get better over time
, saving thousands of dollars on maintenance and software upgrades.
We’re seeing tremendous interest from schools that we’re talking to about Chromebooks, and these
first three schools
all happen to be using Chromebooks in different ways. Grace Lutheran in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, is using Chromebooks in a shared classroom setting for fifth through eighth grades. The Fessenden School in West Newton, Massachusetts, will fill two traveling technology carts with Chromebooks, as well as allow students to check the devices out from the library. Merton Community School District in Merton, Wisconsin, will give one device to each student starting sixth grade this year, and the students will keep them through eighth grade.
