WHAT IS A CHROMEBOOK?

A Chromebook is a laptop that runs the Chrome OS, a Google cloud-based operating system. These machines are designed to be used primarily while connected to the Internet, with most applications and documents stored in the cloud. The Chromebook boots/starts up in seconds with Google Apps for Education at the heart of our learning environment. Chromebooks allow our students and staff to create, collaborate and easily access their work.

Chromebook's strengths –

Google for Education is an ecology of digital tools from Google designed to host and distribute digital documents, communication, and collaboration through cloud-based technology.
