Chromebooks and Google Apps for Education have drastically changed the way as experienced students in recent years
I. had it with my own children experienced firsthand, and in the customer stories we help share every day in the corporate communications team here. I sit here (also known as the kitchen counter) in my home office, I ask my 11-year-old daughter, sitting next to me to write on their school issued Chromebook, if they like to use Google Docs. It is an immediate, enthusiastic response (enthusiasm to girl something Tween ration between eye rolling is, I'm learning):
Oh, yes !! It is sooo awesome. I really like to work, to do it. You can always do not lose the paper homework. And if I forget to actually do the homework, I can still get credit, because the teacher looking at Google and see that done I only forget it, to turn it in. It's easier to do group projects. It is easier for study guide, also because the teachers do not have on hand or recycled paper, and I always know where to find them!
If I knew about art and homework would thus elicit an enthusiastic response, I would long ago there have any questions about my squad the family table!
I think it's almost something like this to hear live from one parent here in Silicon Valley, is expected, but really takes this trend nationwide, and for schools with students from a variety of socio-economic backgrounds.
Shelton Public Schools in West Connecticut is to do the same, and is one of my favorite Citrix customer reports Shelton. begin Citrix technology to virtualize nearly 10 years ago, and today it is to give Chromebooks with students for educational access to Google Apps, just like my children in the Diocese of San Jose use (another Citrix customers). Shopping Chromebooks compared to traditional laptops saves the schools a ton of cash; in fact, in the last ten years, Shelton has saved over two million dollars!
Recently Shelton 0 Chromebook devices for around $ 0 buy than regular laptops compared to that 1000 can cost as much $ each and must be refreshed every five years.
Shelton was to make two years part thanks to the Connecticut State Technology Grants before this election. But it was more than that. When Dan DiVito, director of IT in Shelton, the reason why they were so comfortable shopping so many Chromebooks at once was "because we knew teacher said the umbrella of Citrix she had comfortably to make. " awarded The state recently Shelton another $ 108,000 as part of its Common Core / Technology Grant that DiVito use more Chromebooks and Chrome to buy next year.
in this district, the children used from a wide range of social origin, decisions like this, has to take this technology to give the pitch every student prepared the same access. By virtualizing Citrix XenApp on Chromebooks, children to use at all schools able to the same programs as Google Apps for Education and the latest Windows-based applications.
Shelton has also extended this to the classroom. Through the support of Google Chromebox computer, the mount in the classrooms on the back of a monitor and sell for less than $ 0 for a fraction of the almost $ 500 per unit would have to spend on desktop computers in the classroom learning centers-Shelton makes learning easier not get for the younger students who take the Chromebooks home.
and teachers benefit. Teachers are now working together to be able to create the curricula without coordination locally with meetings or expensive laptops are output, resulting in a savings of over $ 150,000 laptop costs. Since teachers are no longer required to stay on site, curricula-a work activity that requires bringing in substitute teachers and, as a consequence, result in substantial cost-circle nearly 50,000 $ savings per year in overheads.
, the list of benefits go on and on to the students who are the main target group, to the teachers, but also for the school district and the public who fund the schools.
save money while better serve students is a win-win, as employees of Citrix, I know our Technical Department, is made possible. And when parents see the smile on the face of my daughter when she talks homework?!?! - Now that is worth its weight in gold
