Chromebooks Are Here for Teacher Quality Students

Right before the door of the office opened I heard a loud crash outside. Our shipment of Chromebooks was to arrive this afternoon, so I was hoping that it didn't have to do anything with the them. Fortunately, it was another box and not one of the computer boxes.

I gave Magali my pocket knife and anxiously waited for signs that everything was alright. When we finally cleared the packing material the boxes were a wonderful sight. They finally arrived and now it's just a matter of getting them distributed to TQ grant participants.

In the next few weeks, we'll learn how to operate them in the name of science education. The Chromebook that I've been using has been a great tool for me since I use Google products for writing blogs, developing webpages, creating instructional materials, and communicating. If I knew a little more about instructional design, the results would be much more impressive. Of course, many people that have seen the work believe it already is, but we know what the potential for technology can be.

Twenty-four science teachers will soon get their hands on these devices and begin to discover ways to make their teaching meet the 21st Century. These devices have the potential to use technology in ways that are innovative and can effectively make teachers and their students highly productive critical thinkers. We can't wait to begin the distribution and training.
