I teach in one of these schools and I am super excited to help document and support this learning initiative. You can follow the hashtag #121wrdsb on twitter to see a documentation of our learning throughout the board.

The netbooks we are giving out this year are Chromebooks. Chromebooks used the Google browser.
Here are two videos that help explain what Chromebooks are. The first one is a RAW unedited CBC clip that provides a simple introduction to devices. The second one is a glossy, info commercial produced by Google Chrome. Incidentally, the Google Chrome YouTube channel has several videos that help explain Google concepts |
