"SHUSD 1:1 ChromebookPilot Evaluation Fall2013"

This is a good article that includes survey results from students and teachers following a year of 1:1 Chromebook use. It is interesting that survey results are different for elementary vs. high school students, with high school students getting most value from the research uses of the device. I believe it is probably easier to find engaging activities for elementary students than high school students (at least in the math world). The summary of results includes a list of pros and cons by grade level which I found interesting. They include recommendations on policies to address damage and ideas related to having students transport the devices home which can provide us some insight as we move forward.

When students graduate from school, they can take their Google data with them. This is a tutorial on how to do that.
