Sorry Mom... PARCC, Chromebooks, and $
I am a little partial because I am a huge fan of Google, I literally wrote the book on Google, Education and Common Core. Google Apps Meets Common Core (Corwin 2013). All joking aside, Chromebooks are the best device for the PARCC test and regular use in classrooms for these reasons below. Price Chromebooks range from $199 all the way up to the Chromebook Pixel touchscreen, keyboard, and 4G LTE for $1200. Functionality Students need a device that is cloud ready and works seamlessly with Google Apps for Education. PARCC Every Chromebook is compatible with PARCC. Enough said, it is compatible for PARCC and it only cost $199 per device.
Tons of Ideas on How to Use Google Apps in your Classroom
George Couros has recently shared a tweet about a wonderful resource on Google Apps in education. This is basically a work in progress in which educators and teachers from different educational stripes contribute with their ideas on how to use the various Google Apps in education. I have been reading some of these ideas and I was really stunned at the intellectual depth and stretch of some of them to the extent that I decided to share the document link with you here in Educational Technology and Mobile Learning. Reading Google Apps for Education will provide you with a set of interesting tips on how to leverage the power of Google apps in your school and with your students in the classroom.

Putting Our Best Footprint Forward - Getting Smart by Susan Lucille Davis - digital learning, digital_citizenship, K-12, Kinderchat
“If you can’t say something nice about someone, don’t say anything at all.” I hear those words in my mind in my mother’s voice fifty years after she spoke them. Her lesson to me, for as long as I can remember, went beyond an admonition to keep my complaints to myself. She meant for me to be kind, to consider others’ perspectives with a generous heart, and to go out of my way to help others. My mother saw such niceties as the key to a humane world. Yet, in this age of trash talk and the social equivalent of voting people off the island, I wonder how we can teach children to create the kind of humane society we want them to live in online. First Steps as Digital Citizens I love that Matt Gomez, teacher and blogger, addresses how students act online as an integrated part of his classroom as early as kindergarten. One of the best resources I’ve come across lately is a set of “Digital Citizenship Flashcards” from A Platform for Good. Adult Modeling Matters Stepping Up

12 Effective Ways To Use Google Drive In Education
Are you a Google Drive / Google Docs fan? Do you take notes, compose papers, construct spreadsheets, and build presentations in real-time on the web while collaborating with others? I’m not necessarily promoting Google Drive; just merely pointing out a few of the powerful ways the free tool can help you save time and keep you better organized. I’ve had a post about how to effectively use Google Drive in education on the back burner for several months. It’s been sitting as a ‘draft’ and is now finally ready for primetime. From building a self-grading quiz (yep, it can do that) to simply reducing the amount of paper used in your classroom, there are plenty of reasons to start considering using Google Drive for your classroom needs. The other big way I’d recommend trying out Google Drive would be for mind maps. Google Drive is also compatible with Microsoft Office products so fear not.
