No ChromeBooks. Students have been bringing it up everyday when their machines lock up, turn off, or lose access to Google and/or the wireless connection.  Today, students began mentioning their parents are asking.

Several have lost posts they've worked when their machines lock up, or turn off without warning. It takes quite a while to log in and repeatedly try to sign into Chrome to get to their lessons and blog. When I use my desktop, I get right into Chrome with no trouble. But when I use a laptop it is chancy if I can get to Chrome much less use it. Will these issues be present with the ChromeBooks?  The second school I work with has far fewer problems with the machines and the connection. The curiosity is present with those students but not like the level of frustration I see in the students during the first two periods of the day at the first school.
