Chromebooks
This week I got to watch my students work with the chromebooks for the first time. My classroom has a set of 6 chromebooks and my CT decided to use them for math centers that would help review the previouse lesson on telling time, which many were still struggling to fully understand. The week before, my CT went over how to use the chromebooks with the students and sat with each one of them to see if they understood how to use the device. It was interesting because I remember my elementary school days and the technology I used was the portable laptop cart. They were bulky, slow, and I didn't even start useing them till I was in the older grades. However I was not all that surprised to see chromebooks in my classroom due to all the advancements in education and technology since I was in elementary school.

It's nice to see schools using Chromebooks now and not just apple products. I also remember in elementary school we had to go to a computer lab because we didn't even have portable laptop carts yet. It's crazy to see how computers used to be so big and now classrooms have their own sets of laptops. The classroom I'm in has a set of iPads, iPods and a Smart board. Another thing I noticed in my classroom is that they went straight from chalk boards to a smart board. It never had a whiteboard! I found that really interesting.

ReplyDeleteMy class also has 6 Chromebooks that we use mostly during stations (math games, writing, etc.). Unfortunately, I have a bit of an immature class so time with the Chromebooks is pretty limited in the class because the students try to get away with playing on them and not doing their work and/or will misuse them or not share them. I think they are a great resource, but I cannot imagine using them more than a couple times a week with a class like mine.
