Teachers and students quickly began to rely on them for their speed, simplicity, security, and versatility. By 2018, Chromebooks made up 60% of all laptops and tablets<\/a> purchased in the US for K-12 classrooms. Today, Chromebooks are the top-selling educational device for K-12 schools in the US, Canada, Sweden, the Netherlands, and New Zealand.<\/p>\n Chromebooks are designed to help students get things done faster and more easily. The Chrome operating system is fast, light on resources, and easy to navigate, even for parents or children who aren\u2019t as tech-savvy. Switching from Windows to the Chrome OS is painless<\/a>, and is a more cost-effective alternative to buying an iPad or Windows laptop.<\/p>\n Whether students are learning from home, or in a classroom, Chromebooks provide them with all the learning essentials and more\u00a0\u2014 and none of the distractions or difficulties that can come with a conventional classroom computer. Parents can use the Family Link<\/a> to manage their child\u2019s Google account, assign parental controls on applications, enable web filtering, supervise app usage to help develop healthy device habits, and more.<\/p>\n The Google Chrome operating system is designed to work in the cloud, so your child\u2019s documents, applications, and any other files are always stored online and made available anywhere \u2014 no matter what Chromebook device they log into. If internet access is unreliable, students can work offline and have everything backed up once they\u2019re connected to the internet again. Kids will never lose any of their work, and the dog can\u2019t eat their homework when it\u2019s stored in the cloud, so that\u2019s one less thing to worry about!<\/p>\n Also read:<\/strong> Asus ROG Strix G17 Gaming Laptop Review<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n One of the biggest advantages for students using a Chromebook is the integration with Google Workspace for Education \u2014 a comprehensive suite of free and easy-to-use tools that provide students with everything they need to learn, collaborate, and communicate with teachers and fellow students alike. Google Classroom<\/a> is used by more than 150 million teachers and students worldwide as a hub for classroom activities. With today\u2019s remote learning requirements, it has become the go-to virtual classroom.<\/p>\n Students can also access an endless variety of educational apps on the Google Workspace Marketplace<\/a>, the Google Play Store, the Chrome Web Store<\/a> for browser extensions, and the Chromebook App Hub<\/a> for engaging apps (such as Minecraft: Education Edition<\/a>) and fresh lesson ideas to keep them in love with learning.<\/p>\n Security is a huge concern when it comes to kids and tech devices. Chromebooks are well-known for their best-in-class security and are safe to use right out of the box \u2014 no antivirus software required. Security updates are done automatically every six weeks and users have access to 24\/7 support directly from Google. With multiple built-in security layers to protect user information they also repair themselves if they detect that the system has been corrupted in any way. Children are usually more susceptible to cyber-attacks, so these features offer parents peace of mind.<\/p>\n Acer Chromebook.<\/p><\/div>\n Chromebooks have undoubtedly innovated classrooms across the world, and South Africa is not far behind. Brands like Acer are making more Chromebooks available to the South African market to assist parents and learners during this unprecedented time. The\u00a0Acer Chromebook range promises to bring students a modern learning experience at an affordable cost. As a certified Google services provider, Acer says it will also be guiding schools and parents through using Google Workspace and provide the education platforms they need to make learning better, easier and safer than ever before.<\/p>\n A Chromebook can help kids learn using fast, simple and secure technology that was made with education in mind, and that\u2019s why they are the perfect choice for parents looking to assist their children with the best tools for learning.<\/p>\nMade for modern classrooms and families<\/h3>\n
