<div dir="ltr">My experience with Chromebook, while not school-related, has been similar to that of claustrophobia. You are limited to your capabilities under the Chromebook, strictly to the browser, so you're unable to go beyond the flexibility of the browser itself.</div>

Has anyone had experience bringing Chromebooks to a school? The<br>
latest generations seem to include reasonably-priced models that<br>
aren't pure POS units...<br>
<br>
My youngest's elementary-school uses Google's educational "walled<br>
garden" and I'd expect the Chromebook to Play Well there. The latest<br>
ChromeOS is also supposed to have available (or about to, I'm not<br>
sure) the kinds of parental controls needed for elementary-school<br>
students.<br>
<br>
I'm also curious if anyone knows of any grants/etc that could help<br>
getting them in sufficient quantity that each student could have<br>
one...<br>
<br>
Any info/pointers/etc gratefully accepted!<br>
