But as with apps, conversations around devices should focus on the learning. What learning opportunities do Chromebooks create? In this edWebinar Michelle Luhtala, Library Department Chair at New Canaan High School, CT, and Tom Mullaney, Digital Learning Coach at Carroll Middle School, NC, focus on Chrome features that transform teaching and learning.
