By the end of your lessons, you should be able to:
- Identify the characteristics of a Chromebook which make it unique from other devices

- Describe the typical applications of Chromebooks in the classroom
- Identify the value of Google Apps for Education to teachers and students
Google Apps for Education (GAFE) has the potential to change the way we think about teaching and learning. When combined with the SAMR (Substitution/Augementation/Modification/Redefinition) Framework, the two create a more "authentic, rigorous, meaningful, and student centered" learning enviroment.
This is your "go-to" site for all of your new Google Apps.
