8 Helpful Videos About Chromebooks From Your Friends At Google!
Did your school recently switch over to Chromebooks? Are you looking for that perfect, yet inexpensive device to use in class this year? I recently had a great conversation at a local PD conference about devices and someone asked me what device they should be thinking about for their classrooms. Where most people know me as a MacBook guy, and the MIE side of me would like to encourage everyone to try out Surface Tablets, most school districts in my area are Google Apps schools.
One of the unfortunate things I find with schools is that they spend a ton of money on devices, and then spend time doing PD on apps and pedagogy. Learning about the device is just as important as learning how to use the device. In these 8 fantastic videos from Google, you will learn a little something about your new Chromebooks. I encourage you to share this post with your staff and PD trainers.
