Did you know some students in middle and, high school don’t have chromebooks. Chromebooks are a beneficial source all students should have. If the government of Chester takes away chromebooks than most students will be unhappy. Additionally before middle and, high school students had chromebooks students would not pay attention to what they were learning. Another interesting fact is that when we take paper test more students cheat than when we take test in chromebooks. In addition to taking paper test students feel more rushed seeing their peers almost finished. Taking chromebooks away will cause several problems. These would be teachers having to take more time grading papers by hand. In addition teachers having to do more work at home
Schools should stop the Chromebook program. There are many negative effects in the classroom. Chromebooks are expensive,they can be a distraction,and they can stop working at any given moment. Chromebooks can be expensive and with hundreds of students needing them the cost will be high.Replacing Chromebooks will also have an impact on the county's money. They can be very flimsy and easy to break easily. Some students even drop them just for the purpose of getting a new one.
Many schools have switched from using paper textbooks to iPads or chromebooks, which allow students to access online textbooks. But is this a good change? There are many factors that need to be put into consideration, including the age group of a kids receiving the technology, the classes this tool can be used for, and the children’s ability to interact with others.
It’s the end of school and you know what that means. It means the school board is going to have sixth through eighth graders white down if we should or shouldn’t have chrome books and why. I think that all Chesterfield schools should continue to have chromebooks. We should have chromebooks because they’re helpful,there is important homework sites and I personally work faster when I type instead of write.
What were educators thinking when they decided to enforce Chromebooks into the school’s education system? They were thinking about the connection between student and teacher, but they forgot to mention other important details. If Chromebooks are introduced into the school’s system, it would end up being a lot more complicated and a hassle than most would think. Chromebooks should not be introduced to the school’s system due to poor policy in privacy, due to WiFi connectivity problems, and due to conflicts in affordability.
The school board has been talking about getting rid of chromebooks.I think they are beneficial to all the students in Chester.
Chromebooks are a new technology that have been implemented into Green High Schools education system. Are they better for the students or the teachers? Do they truly help the education system? Have they made it easier for students to cheat? Have they created lazy teachers? Should teachers be able to change due dates change overnight? There are simply so many questions about the Chromebooks. Faculty seem to love them and on the other hand many students seem to hate them. As a student I have grown to hate these miniature trash bins for many reasons. When the wifi goes out absolutely nothing can be done. The pieces of technology are prone to break quite easily. Furthermore it has created a crutch for many faculty at Green High School. Chromebooks truly have created a hassle for our young adults at GHS.
As has been noted, the Chromebooks at Sherwood Middle School were a big problem. Kids had to be careful with them, couldn’t do anything inappropriate with them, and couldn't change their backgrounds. The school had gotten most of the problems fixed. The chromebooks were a big change for the students and
One troublesome problems the district will fret about will be the cost of each laptop for each student. Each chromebook costs around $200 to $250 and you will get many years of use out of them. They will stay up to date on their information unlike their hardback counterparts
Through the Chromebook students turn in all of their work. For the younger students, such as elementary students, they are given in class iPads and with these mobile computing devices they can do learning drills and play learning games. Schools everywhere are starting to use less paper and switch to technology. Should kids now a days be forced to use technology?
Kids would not have to worry about what to do when there chromebook dies, they would not have to be switching chromebooks at the library, and less detentions would be given out for kids chromebooks dieing. The new rule should say,” Children are allowed to bring chargers to school, if given permission from a teacher, or the child's guardian has arranged it with the school.” If a student must wait for an exercariculat a guardian can bring a charger once approved from the office. This way students will not have to worry about a chromebook dying during school.

This divide between student and teacher experience and comfort with technology seems to have been exacerbated with the one-to-one implementation of chromebooks at City Middle School. Although all students were given a chromebook for classroom usage in January of 2016, teachers were given little adequate prior training regarding pedagogical implementation strategies. Lack of teacher training, compounded with administrative expectation that the devices must be utilized in the classrooms, has resulted in issues arising regarding the effective integration of the chromebooks for teaching and learning. The devices seem to be used, in many cases, as a substitution for traditional pencil, paper, or research tools, resulting in some incidences of low engagement and misuse of the devices. To understand how chromebooks can be better utilized in teaching and learning to promote student engagement in the middle school environment, various methods of implementation strategies, pedagogical methods and teacher beliefs about learning and technology were studied at City Middle School. Quality research specifically reviewing the effects of implementing
When students are assigned assignments for school, they most likely go to the Internet to find the answers. They refuse to figure the question out on their own because as Carr stated, we are becoming shallower thinkers. We do not think we can do it on our own so, we have become dependent on the Internet to give us the quick and easy answer. We do not even bother picking up textbooks anymore to read because most of us have suppressed the idea of research to find an answer, which is why we have a hard time retaining the information. My school, for example, distributed us Chromebooks to help with in-class activities, but in reality they are a distraction. Most students sit in class on their Chromebook browsing for shoes or clothes and catching up on social media. However, those students tend to perform poorly on exams in comparison to the experiment conducted at Cornell University that Carr
The final result of using digital devices during school hours is not a good one. Students can cheat more easily, which means that they are not preparing for the future and society.
Teachers are always assigning homework in the textbook and of course every student complains. Not only because they have homework, but because they have to lug home multiple textbooks. Many school districts have been trying to find a way to solve this complaint. What school board officials have come up with is replacing the textbooks with notebook computers or tablets. It is the 21st century, there is technology booming everywhere. However, converting the notebook computers might not be the greatest decision.
