Trinity College, Gawler is known as the biggest school in South Australia. As such, it should have the largest pool of resources for students. Chromebooks represent the best investment any school can make in the students, since these devices cost less than half of what other devices would run, while performing the tasks for which students would need the computers.
Chromebook investments need to be protected. Australian schools are starting to see that the devices have flexible screens, and this one flaw can lead to breakage when students are not careful. While we all want to believe our children treat resources with respect, just take a look in a school desk or backpack to learn the real story.
When Australian schools invest in Chromebooks, they also need to invest in some kind of cover or sleeve, preferably one that is permanent. Check out the Cranium by Educabana. It protects the most vulnerable part of the Chromebook from student abuse.
When it's time for Trinity to upgrade to Chromebooks, then it's also time to upgrade to the Cranium. It's also a whiteboard, so the classes that don't need computers can still use the devices.
