Chromebooks : Yes or No?

Chromebooks : Yes or No?
By Kristi Denninger


What’s your opinion on chromebooks? Are they better to learn on with the new technology or are they just another thing to carry around?   


No!
Someone who likes the chromebooks is my teacher Mrs. Hatz, but she interviewed 8th grader Kelly Brennan and Kelly does not like the idea of Chromebooks. Kelly says “Chromebooks are annoying to carry around.” She also says “you can’t print from the Chromebooks so if you need to print a project you can’t print it.” Kelly thinks teachers should give you more time to pack up the chromebooks so you're not rushing to your next class. She would rather stick to paper and pencil instead of the chromebooks.    


Yes!
Mrs. Hatz, my teacher, thinks the chromebooks are a good idea, and she says, “They are better and easier for the students to keep organized. Also, it is easier for me to watch what they are working on.” Mrs. Hatz also says “it’s easier because students can get instant feedback.” Mrs. Hatz likes the idea of chromebooks and thinks it’s easier than paper and pencils for many reasons.    


So what side are you on? They definitely keep us more organized but are annoying to carry around. It’s definitely something to think about.
