The laptops, which can also be used as tablets, should arrive any day, said Walker County Board of Education’s Title I, III, ESOL & Homeless Liaison Coordinator Phaedra Roberts, adding that the ordering was approved at a recent October board of education meeting.
“The Chromebooks will be used to provide effective timely assistance in mathematics and reading,” Roberts said. “Purchasing more Chromebooks helps teachers use these software resources with more students.”
Stone Creek Elementary School Assistant Principal Amy Ashley said the 100 Chromebooks means the school has reached its goal of having one tablet for each student through its 1-to-1 initiative started in 2015.
The 497 students at Stone Creek Elementary School all take part in Google Classroom lessons that pertain to mathematics and reading daily and all students have Google log-ins, she said.
