ChromeBooks
Starting September 2022 we will adopt personal student devices policy
It鈥檚 time to keep the pace with changes in technology and in the digital world students are living in.
Technology its just a tool, and the point in education is to teach its uses for common activities like study, research, creating content, and so much more!
We will then adopt聽personal student devices policy in Middle School starting with the new School Year, in September 2023.
What kind of device for students
We need a device that is light, with battery lasting at least 3-4 hours and durable materials.
There are a lot of choices in the market and among all of them we considered the聽Chromebook laptops聽to be a good solution.
The Chromebook Technology
聽is the common name for a category of computer, usually notebooks, run by a system called聽, created by Google instead of the usual Microsoft Windows.
Chromebooks works great with聽, a cloud software suite the School is already proficiently using since 2018.
Chromebooks are usually lighter, cheaper and with longer lasting battery compared to Windows鈥� laptops. They have some limitations, of course, but 鈥� anyway 鈥� they鈥檙e a great solution for a personal device to use in school.
Thecnical Specs
As with any other technologies there are many models of Chromebooks, different in shape, quality, performance, components. We don鈥檛 want to bind our users to a specific manufacturer / model but, anyway, we need some minimal requirements to be sure the laptop can be used with profit for didactical purposes. Here鈥檚 the specifics:
