Changing the Focus Google Chromebooks and Kearney High School In December of 2013, Kearney High School rolled out a 1:1 initiative using Google Chromebooks and Google Apps for education. The effect of this roll out has been wide reaching and has enabled teachers to do things in their classroom th ey only dreamed of doing before. Now that the initial excitement has worn off and Chromebooks and Google Apps are how we do business on a regular basis, the challenge is to find new and innovative ways to use these tools to improve learning experiences for students.

Everywhere we turn, we see technology being used, and it's advancing at a rate that makes our heads spin. Often as teachers we struggle to find the appropriate balance and the right tools, especially in the elementary classroom. Google is an amazing tool to allow students to
