If you are a parent in the Douglas County School District, specifically Heritage School in Highlands Ranch, CO, then you've been asked to protect your own kids' Chromebook. For a "discount" price of $45, you can put a gumdrop case on the Chromebooks. For those of you who aren't math teachers, that about 1/4 of the price of a new Chromebook.
If you are looking to protect the Chromebook's flexible screen AND get a whiteboard at about 1/10th the price of a new Chromebook, then the Cranium by Educabana is a better choice. It's made of PVC and aluminum. More importantly, unlike other options, it's permanent. Kids want covers off, whether they are soft or gummy or hard plastic. The Cranium stays on. It does it's job for less. And if you're looking for a classroom set or a model not listed, contact Educabana directly. Lowville (LACS) has begun assigning Chromebooks for all students. An article about the initiative shows students using Chromebooks sans protection. That's a no-no, Lowville! You can get a bulky soft cover or a colorful plastic cover, each of which help a bit, or you can opt for the Cadillac of Chromebook covers: the Cranium. It's also a whiteboard, so that makes it the Swiss Army Knife of Chromebook covers. Lower breakage rates due to the flexible screens and a whiteboard. Folks in Lowville should have high expectations for their school district, and the Cranium can help keep it that way. Bulk orders can requested through Educabana.
Even if Chromebooks are inexpensive electronic devices, they are still electronic devices that are allowed in school, and that's cool. What's not cool is when Chromebooks break. Or when a teacher just does not have the time to come up with awesome new lessons each and every day, so the Chromebooks sit in a backpack. Fix it all with one add-on. The Cranium Hard Case Screen Protector and Whiteboard protects the flexible screen from breakage, but it also acts as a whiteboard. That makes is twice as useful as other Chromebook cases.
Whether you attend or pay taxes for South Stokes High School or West Stokes High School, it's a good idea to protect your investment with a Cranium. Contact the seller direct at Educabana for bulk orders. 1000 Chromebooks have been delivered to high school students in Morgan County, Tennessee. It's a perfect test size to see the breakage rate. We'd guess over 50 of those Chromebooks will fail, often due to the flexible screen. However, the Cranium Chromebook Protector and Whiteboard can change that to 10 or less. And it's a whiteboard, great for teachers who know that surfing the web isn't always the best way to see what kids know.
If you want useful protection for all Chromebooks in the district, contact Educabana directly. While the standard Chromebook size is normally smaller than your average laptop of a few years back, some large-screen Chromebooks are produced. If you have an HP 14" Chromebook, you have a really nice, wide screen. However, because Chromebooks are inexpensive, your screen is made the same way as the smaller computers, meaning there is some flex that could lead to the need for repairs.
Enter the Cranium Hard Case Protector and White Board for your HP 14" Chromebook. It functions to reinforce the screen where it's needed most. If you spent a little extra to get that oversized screen, you'll want to protect it from bending and breaking. The Cranium can do that. If your school wants to order a large set of these protectors, please contact the seller here. Students in Morristown, New Jersey, are using Chromebooks to learn. However, one thing we all learn when using Chromebooks is that thin plastic can bend a bit. We also learn it can be a hassle to fire up the computer for a quick note. The Cranium Hard Case Screen Protector and Whiteboard fixes this.
The Cranium makes the flexible screen stronger, decreasing breakage rates. It's also a whiteboard, great for test prep or quick notes. It's permanent and strong, yet not annoying like those large soft cases. Read more about some available models on Amazon. Order a few there, or contact us for larger orders or for models not yet listed. Rome City Schools will have Chromebooks soon, ordering enough of the devices for 3rd through 12th grade. It's a wise investment. Chromebooks, however, will sometimes break. Rome City Schools, in order to protect its initial investment, should consider the best way to protect the Chromebooks.
Some school districts use soft case covers, but students don't like the cumbersome briefcases. Other districts offer insurance plans or purchase coverage with the devices. The problem still remains that the Chromebooks are out of commission for a time. Some schools use hard plastic to protect the Chromebooks, but that's mostly just a decorative placebo. If you pay taxes in Rome, Georgia, find out what the school district intends to do to protect the Chromebooks. One solution includes the purchase of the Cranium Hard Case Screen Protector and Whiteboard. It's made from PVC and aluminum, and it stops the flexible screen from bending, limiting breakage. It's also a whiteboard, which is sometimes just as useful as the Chromebook itself. The Cranium is a permanent, simple solution. For bulk orders, contact our friends over at Educabana. Lakeview Elementary School students in Negaunee are getting Chromebooks, and that's a good decision by local officials. Protecting Chromebooks reminds me a bit of what Uncle Mark said about Musky lures (and anyone from the UP should be able to follow this)--when he sells baits, his customers are happy when the $15 bait falls apart in the mouth of a monster fish, since it probably means a trophy. It's not that his baits just fall apart on their own. When the fish destroys the bait, the fisherman wins.
The same logic can be applied to the plastic protectors we buy for our smartphones. When you drop the phone, it's better to smash the cheap $10 plastic surround than the $500 phone itself. But what if the students in Negaunee and all over the UP could have something a little bit more permanent? What if it doubles as a whiteboard so the Chromebooks are twice as useful in the classroom? (It would be like a fishing bait doubling as a camera to take a picture of the trophy fish.) The Cranium Chromebook Hard Case Screen Protector and Whiteboard is that kind of protection. It's permanent and effective at protecting the most vulnerable part of the Chromebooks, the somewhat flexible screen. Plus, the white surface is a premium whiteboard for use in math or test prep. Read more about the Cranium at educabana.com, and you can order them in bulk from the website, too, just like a lot of folks order a dozen Hellkat Shockbaits at a time. Granted, the Cranium Chromebook Protector and Whiteboard would not have protected Chromebooks from being stolen from Providence Schools or local FedEx shipping locations. However, once those two entities resolve their issues and order new devices, Providence School District should really consider an extra layer of protection on the replacement order. That extra layer comes from Cranium hard case screen protectors. Maybe FedEx will even purchase a few hundred Craniums to smooth things over with the school district.
Read more about the Craniums at educabana.com, and order directly from the manufacturer. If you are a parent, teacher, administrator, or (especially) taxpayer in the Monterey Peninsula Unified School District, you will want to know more about the new Chromebooks delivered to students. The brand or model isn't the most important consideration, however, since that's all pretty equal. What's not equal is the protection. If Seaside High School is not using the Cranium Hard Case and Whiteboard, someone needs to use his or her cranium to do a little research about why it might be necessary.
Other hard cases are pretty plastic. Soft cases are cumbersome, and students toss them aside at every opportunity. The Cranium is a permanent solution that also acts as a whiteboard, and they protect against screen breakage. I have a Chromebook, and the screen bends and flexes a bit. With my Cranium, I can pick the Chromebook up by its screen, just like every high schooler known to mankind will do, with or without protection. Read more about the Cranium on Educabana.
