My students are quick, able to multitask, and good with their technology. As we start the day with centers, three quarters of my students get right to work while the rest sit patiently waiting for their old, computer lab reject computers boot up. They're generally torn between excitement at it being their day on the computer, and frustration at the slow speeds of the computers battling the fast pace of their minds. My classroom ranges from children in foster care from broken homes with no Internet access to affluent, upper-middle-class kids who benefit from all the conveniences of technology in the home. Helping students maintain a higher level of learning while bringing out-of-date students up to speed is just a part of the reason Chromebooks will be beneficial in our classroom.
