![]() ![]() ![]() I would say that most do like Google services though and Google Docs which is probably more important to Google in the long run but they’d rather access Google docs from a PC laptop or a Macbook. They ended up with iPads instead and fully expect that they’ll end up with a Macbook when they go to college.Īs I said, small sample size and would say that most of the students appreciate that they have the chromebook for school work but have no desire to own one themselves. The perception is that the chromebook is locked down and used to do schoolwork and not much else.

The reasons that the students have for being indifferent or disliking them are not really the chromebooks fault, but they seem to blame them anyway. My sample size may not be huge, but from my experience Admin loves them, teachers love/like them and students are indifferent at best or dislike them often.
