ON CHOOSING CHROMEBOOKS

July 18, 2013

Parents often ask why we do not have MacBooks for our students to use for their online learning at school. “Cost” has always been the simple answer.

In the Acton way, though, we are constantly seeking the best practices and tools for learning and are ready to pounce when more efficient and effective resources and ideas arise.

Inspired by Russ and Dani taking Acton Academy on the road successfully with Chromebooks in hand, we decided to look into these devices as an option for our school. I think Russ did a cartwheel of joy when I told him we were pursuing this idea.

Thanks to Ms. Samantha’s tireless research and testing, we are following the Foltz-Smith lead and transitioning to Chromebooks. The middle school students will work with Mac Stations in addition to Chromebooks for their creative project work and online portfolio designing.

I think you’ll enjoy this description of why this transition makes sense:

Middle School is where young people rapidly start owning their education. Middle school is the perfect time to develop intellect and character while gaining a deeper sense of self and the real world. Students have a broad palette of topics to study and pair in-depth academic exploration with real-world connections to experts and local apprenticeships. Middle School is about deepening a passion for individual subjects while broadening your understanding of yourself and your future.
