Intel Education Presents: #IntelChromebooks – Win a Chromebook!

9/18/2014

With options for classroom technology growing every day, it has become an increasingly difficult challenge to find the best resource for your students’ learning needs.  Do you go with tablets? What about a “bring your own device” (BYOD) policy? Or maybe a laptop cart to share between classrooms?  


While all these different resources have their advantages and disadvantages, one relative new-comer to the field is Google’s Chromebook, and it offers some serious potential at an incredibly reasonable price.

If you’re already familiar with the Chromebook, or you’re already using them, I’d recommend jumping down about 3 paragraphs for some excellent new resources.  If not, let me explain. For me, it helps to think of the Chromebook as a mix between a laptop and an Android device.  It looks like a laptop, it functions like a laptop, but rather than running Windows or a Mac OS, the Chromebook operating system resembles what you’d see on an Android phone. 

In the classroom, this can make things much simpler.  Students can navigate the device by opening specific apps, much like they’re used to in a smartphone environment, and there’s a lot less “traditional operating system” to distract students and get in the way.  Plus, the Chromebook system updates itself automatically and allows students to safely store all their work in the cloud.  

On top of all that, the Chromebook starts at $199, which is a much better price point than any tablets, laptops, or desktops you can find for the classroom.

So, if you’re curious about Chromebooks in the classroom, or you’re already using them, Intel Education has just launched an awesome new resource to help teachers utilize the device to its full potential.  If you head over to intel.com/chromeEDU you’ll find a collection of posts, ideas, articles, and resources from EdTech bloggers like Vicki Davis, Lisa Nielson, and plenty of others that we regularly feature here on the Roundup.

Plus, over the next few weeks (until September 30) Intel is running a contest, and everybody who follows @IntelEDU and tweets about their favorite Chromebook feature (with the #IntelChromebooks hashtag) will be entered to win an Intel-powered Chromebook!

So, if you’re using Chromebooks, curious about them, or just looking for a new option in the classroom, check out intel.com/chromeEDU and spend a few moments exploring all the resources they have to offer.
