From doing classwork to paper and pencil, chromebooks have completely changed the way a school can operate. Chromebooks have helped students get caught up with their class and not get left behind with doing school work, if absent. It has played a huge roll with how students interact with each other when it comes to class projects.
Administrators have been a huge part of schools being able to have Chromebooks. “Administrators and teachers are selecting Chromebooks because they’re inexpensive, easily transferrable from school to home due to their light frame, entirely cloud-based, and have a keyboard to easily type essays and other writing assignments,” according to Chromebooks in the Classroom. Chromebooks are easy to travel with and have a device bag to ensure that they will be protected all the time. If for any reason a student’s Chromebook has been damaged, the school staff can ensure that it will be fixed and repaired.

Chromebooks have many advantages by allowing students to do class work together online. “Chromebooks enhance student communication and collaboration opportunities. Gmail, calendars, and video conferencing all allow students to connect with others, and keep abreast of assignments. Chromebooks allow students to work together while completing group projects, reports, a powerpoint, or videos. Access to work can be attained during school areas, in the library, or at home,” according to 5 benefits of Chromebooks in Education.
