Screenshot: Google Chromebooks

As the Data Specialist for the school, I conducted the following Professional Development for our teachers to go over how to engage their students more effectively with Google Chromebooks. Chromebooks are a viable alternative to clunky, bloated and expensive laptops and the DOE now officially offers Google Chromebooks.
