f you are considering a move to Google Apps and Chromebooks for your school, here are three pieces of advice from Seldow:1. It's all about the teaching and learning. Don't rush into spending leftover budget funds on the newest flavor-of-the-week device. Do some research on what device will provide an extension of your learning environment, and prepare extensively before the deployment.2. Transparency matters. Do your best to make all of your information about teaching, learning, and technology available to the parents of your students and any other stakeholders. The more your empower people with information, the fewer surprises you are likely to face.3. Use technology to remove barriers. It's counter-productive to use technology for the sake of technology. Make it something that blends in with the learning environment and is a natural fit. As Seldow said, "Reducing barriers increases opportunities for learning when the teacher isn't there."
