Try A Chromebook!: Utilizing Technology in the Classroom

by Abraham Lee

How can the productivity and effectiveness of technology in the classroom be optimized?

Scientific and Technical Innovation

Computers and Internet are now common in schools. However, technology, especially for learning, is only as useful as its user. For the Personal Project, I wanted to tackle this issue and find out what it took to help students become more familiar with school technology. I created a booklet-style guide for students that would explain the basic functions and methods to using Chromebooks, Google Services, research capabilities, and the student-teacher management system, Schoology, all of which are used at Eagle Rock High School. Additionally, the guide provides several useful tips and tricks to using technology, to further familiarize students with the educational tools they are provided with today.
