September 27, 2013This week, our 8th Grade students received their Chromebooks as part of our one-to-one Chromebook program. As many of you may already know, every student in Grades 4-8 has a Google Drive account on our Academy domain for educational use. All student with a Google Drive account can access their account from any computer with an internet connection at any time. For our 8th Grade students, the Chromebooks enable them to access their Google Drive account in class to obtain documents that their teachers have prepared for them and to create electronic documents to share with their teachers. Additionally, our 8th Grade students have access to an interactive version of their Math text, and have a fully online version of their Social Studies text.
While the one-to-one Chromebooks are in Grade 8 this year, the plan is to expand the program to Grade 7 next year, Grade 6 the year after, and finally to Grade 5 in three years.
Here are a few photos of the 8th Grade students using their Chromebooks:
