Discover a New Teaching Tool with Chromebooks

When it comes to education, you can only be as successful as the tools you’re given. Google Chromebooks are your dynamic and powerful teaching device for class, for home, and for every day. With these sleek, portable computers, you can expand your versatility, simplify class management, and enhance your productivity — managing everything from a simple device.

We’re taking a look at what sets Chromebook apart from its competitors and how it can help you enrich your teaching and enable productivity in and out of the classroom.

Chromebooks Are a Different Type of Computer

If you’re in the education space, Chromebooks can offer a new way to manage your classroom and instruct your students.

The main difference between Chromebooks and other devices on the market is Chrome OS, the operating system on Chromebooks that runs in the cloud to create a secure, reliable machine.

Another differentiator is the cloud-first power and flexibility of Chromebooks, which automatically initiates system updates and security updates so you can work uninterrupted.

Work confidently knowing there have been no reported ransomware attacks ever on any business, education, or consumer Chrome OS device — and don’t forget to pair your Chromebook with Google Workspace for Education to take full advantage of the tools you’re already using.

With Chromebooks, you can expect:

  • 55% fewer unplanned outages
