      More of a push to encourage us all to take advantage of Google Drive and all the Google apps that we now have with staff, teachers and ALL 1-12 STUDENTS
  • The cost saving in the maintenance alone is going to be a decisive enough factor for most schools (Google claims that Chromebooks will save you $5,000 over 3 years compared to a PC).
  • Chromebook is an internet device which means it needs to be connected to the internet ALL the time. While some apps do have offline versions, this list is too small to make internet optional. Because Chromebooks rely on internet and the cloud they also come with little local disk space.

      We were having this conversation last Friday when I discussed plans to meet with ES parents--how do they get 'schooled' about their responsibilities at home when it comes to balance and 1:1 program?
  • Remember That You Are The Parent When it comes to technology, many parents feel that they do not know enough to create limits and boundaries. Because of this they do not feel right taking the technology away. You are still the parent and in your house you make the rules. You have every right to take the computer away from your child if you feel they are not having enough “down time”. I know one family that the whole family felt out of balance so they unplug the Internet in their house. So everyone has to be disconnected at the same time. They use this time to reconnect as a family and just have some ‘down’ time. Create Family Rules The #1 thing you can do is have a conversation with your child. I strongly encourage every family to sit down and talk about exactly the points you raise. Make family rules that everyone can live by. No computer before breakfast, no computer in the car while someone is driving, etc. These are good times to be disconnected and be together as a family. If the parents also abide by these family rules then there is buy-in from everyone. Everyone having to give it up is easier then “Why do I have to give it up but Dad can still check email on is iPhone?” Homework Shouldn’t Take Longer
