Chromebook BYOD

  • About the Initiative


    Marblehead High School launched a Chromebook BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) initiative for students in the 2018-19 school year. Teachers are provided a Chromebook by the District and have participated in a series of professional development sessions for use of technology in the classroom. 

    Why did we choose Chromebooks?

    Chromebooks were selected for their ease of use, low cost and all-day battery life. They fully support Google applications. Chromebooks also offer a Google Management System that allows us to deploy settings, extensions and apps that will be utilized in the classroom.

    Why have we launched a Chromebook BYOD program?

    Marblehead High School is committed to preparing students for life and careers in the digital age by empowering them with the knowledge and tools to innovate and create using technology.
