It's a Chromebook

What is that thing? A little computer? A tablet? Well, not really. In the short time I've had to use one, I would best describe it as an "Internet machine". Whatever it is, we got 30 of them to use in our 8th grade science classrooms through an Innovation Grant in our Sioux Falls school district. Our students will be using these Google Chromebooks to access and create web-based content. This blog will include reflections about how we are implementing the student use of these "internet machines". Before this first post ends, here is a Slide Rocket (a Chrome app for presentations) that profiles our classrooms and the Chromebook.
