A Chromebook is a portable, cloud based computer. Some students will get a Chromebook checked out to them this year in early September. They will bring this device home each night and return back to school with it again each day. Teachers will incorporate the use of web 2.0 tools, apps, and other specialized software into their lesson plans in order to allow students to create, collaborate, communicate and apply critical thinking skills. In addition to learning the required grade level content, students will gain and use 21st century skills which will help prepare them for college and help them be successful in their future careers.
