Steve L Chromebooks are a great way to have enough tech to get your students working and keep them working safely. The deployment package is relatively easy if your school uses or can create a google domain.

I’m sorry for your misunderstanding and was under the impression this was an information sharing site. We all know the earnest benevolence of a sponsoring corporate goliath like Google to our well being, right? I’m only suggesting an alternative. You see, I’m of the mind to be given all options and then make an informed decision. I’m not forcing anyone to buy anything, just offering a choice. Yes, we are a just small U.S. company and our software is top notch. Chromebooks has good and bad features and is limited to what is approved in their app store. Our software works on PC’s, chromebooks, android, mac, and iPad.

What software do you all have in place to control SPAM. We
use Trend Micro which is expensive and good but I swear it
stinks as far as letting stupid email through the firewall.
It updates daily so it's not like it just was installed and
left dormant.

Also do any of you know of a really great place to...See More

books. They are the basic of trouble shooting and
certification.
