Chromebooks Are Too Easy #fallcue
I am working on my last minute addition to the #fallcue presentation lineup for Saturday entitled “Going 1:1 with Chromebooks” and I’m having a hard time finding enough material to cover the 50 minutes. Chromebooks are just too easy. It goes something like this
Step 1. Go Google Apps for Education (GAFE)
Step 2. Get good wifi and decent Internet bandwidth
Step 3. Buy lots of chromebooks
Step 4. Unbox chromebook, connect to wifi, enroll in GAFE domain, repeat (In our case, 3600 times)
Step 5. Send chromebooks out to schools
Step 6. Students use chromebooks
Now, if I was talking about going 1:1 with iPads, well, 50 minutes might not be long enough.

Step #2 makes me laugh and cry when I think about my school. Either it is really hard or our guys are clueless. I have to troubleshoot network issues on my own almost daily. Currently have one CB that keeps hating all networks. I reset AP’s and injectors at least monthly. I used to be a Spanish teacher. Now I’m a network debug assistant that is also still expected to teach 36 Spanish students.
