Why Chromebooks?
Chromebooks are simple, secure and safe devices that students can use to learn, explore, create and collaborate on with their teachers and their peers.
We believe Chromebooks can make learning more effective and engaging and will enable our pupils to become well informed, responsible digital citizens and lifelong learners. Chromebooks have an amazing potential to change the way students and teachers interact and learn.
The majority of our feeder primary schools are using Google for Education and students will have experience with using Chromebooks in these settings already.
Simply put, Google for Education in combination with Chromebooks makes it easier to manage tasks that involve rich student creation, collaboration, iteration, and timely feedback — essential ingredients for powerful learning at any age.
