> We want to teach students how to have a sustainable relationship with technology, where they gain digital literacy while also understanding how to take care of technology and avoid being wasteful. Chromebooks need to last longer and become easier to repair.
We want to teach students so much that we bought the cheapest junk available and now are shocked, shocked I tell you, that it's being depreciated (the devices that didn't fall apart or die early).
The hypocrisy of talking down to Google when they bought the wrong thing in the first place is rich. Google doesn't come out of this smelling like roses but come on.
- CatWChainsaw 3y agoWhat's the alternative, Microsoft Surface?
- joshstrange 3y agoPotentially that, or MacBooks, or Chromebooks that had a longer support window (though that won’t fix the fact Chromebooks are cheap and would still fall apart on them).
- CatWChainsaw 3y agoI get the impression that negotiating a longer support window with Google might at least go a tad bit better than the Apple equivalent. Chromebooks are supposed to be cheap and replaceable, but replacing at fleet level would hurt a lot more.
