Unqua Elementary School fourth graders were charged up to learn the proper use of Chromebooks to enhance instruction in the classroom. The 
Chromebook device runs the Chrome web browser, and is used to easily access the web and all its resources. Students were introduced to Google docs, created a grade-level folder to organize their work and typed an acrostic poem.
The integration of Chromebooks promotes the district’s “Learning…Anytime, Anywhere” initiative. Students and their teachers can access assignments, which are stored in a secure cloud-based environment, and collaborate and communicate with each other and get immediate feedback, which helps customize learning for each student. Each elementary school is equipped with a Chromebooks cart, which has about 30 of the mobile devices for teachers to reserve and use in their classes.
Chromebooks are being used every day by students in seventh through ninth grade as a primary instructional tool, an effort that will be expanded to all secondary grades next year.
