Chromebooks
Glenanda Primary School recommends using Chromebooks. Chromebooks were designed with education in mind. They are simple to use, share and are secure. And they work extremely well with Google Apps.
Chromebooks run on Google Chrome OS, and will always update, no matter how old the device is.
Why do we love them?
simple to deploy (apps install and update automatically)
controlled Play Store (no more games)
monitored Internet to protect young learners
reports harmful and self-harm activity
CEU (Chrome Education Upgrade) - it cannot be removed by factory reset
able to disable lost and stolen devices - rendering them unusable
full-size keyboard
reliable - hardware and software
ChromeStore
The use of Chromebooks was introduced in 2018 for the Grade 4 - 7 learners. Learners/Parents can only choose between hard copy textbooks or Chromebooks. Android and Windows devices are not supported or allowed at school. To purchase a Chromebook, please follow the link to the ChromeStore, register, and make your purchase. Numerous payment options are available. Chromebooks will be delivered to the School and handed to the learner.
