Why Chromebooks?

Why Chromebooks? 

1) It is a laptop with a full keyboard. (Not a handheld or tablet.)

2) It is simple and can provide less distractions for students and teachers in our educational environment.

3) It is cloud based. Everything you create, share,  do or view is stored with your account in the cloud. Say goodbye to students losing digital assignments due to hardware failure or forgetting to save/backup.

4) Chromebooks are Online Assessment Ready. This means that EOC exams and state assessments can be administered using the Chromebases and Chromebook carts.

5) Apps and Extensions. Greenville County Schools has an approved list of apps and extensions that may be used for educational purposes on the Chromebooks.

6) Great battery life. Chromebooks provide a much longer battery life then our past devices. A typical charge lasts 8 hours, long enough to last the entire school day.  Remember to charge it each night!

 7) It is fast. The Chromebook has a quick 8-second boot up time.

8) It is easy to manage, meaning less time for IT Staff and Teachers to fix and troubleshoot, and more time for hands-on learning.
