Google Chromebooks range from around $149 - $429, if a school district is on a tighter budget they could go with the lower priced ones and have one class set. The class set could have a home in the library and teachers can check them out different days of the week. Laptops in the classroom are important to have because they:
1. Are easily transportable
2. Allow students to collaborate on documents
3. Reduce the use of textbooks
4. Allow information to be at the students fingertips
Negatives to laptops in the classroom could be:
1. Students getting easily distracted
2. The cost might be an issue for some schools
3. Students could easily break them and they would need to be replaced
4. Students are so used to text lingo that they may use it in the classroom
The Chromebook above is around $300
