Chromebooks

Had conference calls and several, several emails, but we are getting some Chromebooks. I have been looking for a way to get Google Apps more streamlined into teacher's classrooms. The lack of availability to computers and the very slow boot up time to our older laptops does not make it conducive to use the equipment. I can not even say how excited I am for the new piece of technology to come to Seymour.

 I just hope that I have some colleagues that will jump on the technology wave and use it to change how they work with students. I am not looking for go to the computer lab and type a paper, but change the type of assignments and interactions with the students to online.

 I have been doing more Google Doc assignments. I had students review websites and then share their assignments with me for grading. Much easier than printing documents (and greener too). Students do not seem concerned with going with this technology, at what point to my fellow teachers become leary of using it. I struggle with this because I always look for ways to learn and use more technology.
