Google Chromebooks Hit It Big, 27,000 Headed To U.S. Schools
Google's influence continues to grow as they now ready 27,000 Chromebooks for schools in Iowa, Illinois, and South Carolina. Rajen Sheth, Google's leader of Chromebook work for business and education announced the deals at the Florida Educational Technology Conference. With the inclusion of Iowa, Illinois, and South Carolina Google now has Chromebooks in at least one classroom in hundreds of schools spread across 41 states. The Chromebook looks to be a hit for Google and while a few thousand devices may seem minor compared to a global education market, the fact schools want Chromebooks speaks volumes. It seems that in the future we can expect more schools across the United States to embrace the Chromebook as a method to improve learning in the classroom.
"This is the right device for student learning," said Bryan Weinert, technology coordinator for the Leyden Community High School District in Illinois. "We plan to deploy 3,500 to students next year. Every single student will be issued a Chromebook they can use at school and at home."
