This
article which is a part of the series on Google for Education, lays out bare
bones of Google Chromebooks and how an institution might get benefited by
applying ‘Chrome Culture’ in the Institution.
We are
now going to do something that we’ve wanted to do for a long, long time. We are
going to give you small doses of truth, so that you’ll get a huge chunk of
truth at the end. We are going to strip off all the fluff, all the candied
little phrases that have been tossed in the air for a long time. So, read with
your peak concentration. But before we let go of the big guns, let us learn a
few basic advantages of Chromebooks.
Technology is deeply rooted in our everyday lives, and Google
developers have recognized its ability to influence the ‘real world’. This is
where the concept of ‘Chromebooks’ comes into the grid view. Chromebooks are the books of new generation
which are basically a new type of computer designed to help users to get things
done faster and easier. They are attractive, cheap and beefy for enormous tasks
and use Chrome OS with integrated media player .You’re provided with your
favorite apps.
Chromebooks can make a
huge contribution to studies and technology alike facilitating technical data management.
Today's era needs a speed up and efficient working. Nothing complicated to
learn and sharing made easier. There are some valid reasons to choose a
Chromebook over a Windows machine, unlike Windows, it works on Cloud based
ecosystem or other way round a user friendly intuitive interface. Its other
benefits include lack of upgrade headaches, and worrying about malwares. As
Chromebooks have limited offline capability, there’s a growing number of apps
that work without a WiFi connection. It is over benefited with a multilayered
architecture security system, which eliminates the need for antivirus software.
With a brilliant 21.5” screen for easy viewing, we can comfortably watch our
favorite YouTube videos, video chat with our entire family, or work on
documents on a big screen.
IT boots in seconds.
Deploying Chromebooks has saved schools, at an average, over $5,200 per device
over three years. Chromebooks have allowed students to do real time
collaboration and share their work with the world on the web in an easier,
faster and more secure way. Chrome devices are instantly personalized by each
student or teacher, and are easy to manage, making them an ideal solution for
bringing the power of the web to your classrooms. Here’s how Chrome devices are
helping K-12 schools of all sizes make world class grades.
As we already know large
enterprises and government IT departments have long utilized costly proprietary
systems as their core IT systems. Without taking an inventory of and developing
a plan for their existing IT infrastructure & applications. Same is the case with youth education for under
graduation and graduation courses. They have put themselves at a disadvantage
of not being able to fully realize the financial and technical benefits and
applying ‘Chrome Culture’ in their respective organizations.
This approach of
technological advancement allows organizations to evolve and pursue
standardization at their own pace. It offers an alternative to replace all
their applications and infrastructure and start anew - tempting approach to
simplification. In which entire database is collected at a single place and the
students as well rejoice in their studies staying connected to technology and
fun. So coming back to those tossed up questions which are still hanging around
in the air.
Why not bring power to
the students today?
Why not explore the
student creativity?
Have a straight look at
yourself and ask this question again and again. Ask the question till it
resonates in your mind. I’m pretty sure you’ll receive the answer. This answer
is nothing but that ‘bigger chunk of truth’ which we earlier had mentioned.
Indeed it’s a ‘Technology call’. So, let’s evaluate our decision making and
make appropriate amendments in Technological advancement. And further adopt the
concept of Google Chromebooks as an initiative to ‘Revolution of Technology’.
See how far we’ve come and how far we can go…..OFF THE TREADMILL!
