All About Chromebooks
A Chromebook is a web-based device that connects student learning to all of the resources and information available online, anywhere, at any time. It will empower students to learn at their full potential, to communicate and collaborate on analytical thinking and problem solving, and to prepare them for their next step in life. Chromebooks use the Chrome Operating System and automatically stay up to date!
