Joy on their faces

Today I was able to let 4 additional students, one per class period, work on a chromebook instead of a laptop.  I enjoyed their faces when I told them the news - it was probably just about as good as their faces at Christmas!  Over the last month, students have been asking from time to time if and when THEY get to use a chromebook.  As the teacher, I hope others will get to use a chromebook too.  The amazingly fast start-up speed is wonderful!  It makes the laptops seem even slower than before.  The combination of speedy start up plus Google Docs packets with links direct to the sites they need has been great.
