Student Reactions
"I’m in favor of the use ofChromebooks in the classroombecause it helps us doassignments and work better.The Chromebook (apps)organizes our work better than ahaving whole bunch of paperson our desks, and us unable tofind a certain assignment. Ithelps me do the work quickerand easier. I think typing is alsomuch faster and easier thanwriting it on a piece of paper."
