Samsung Chromebook Series 2 11.6" 4GB - refurbished, $350.00, 0.00% raised
Samsung Chromebook Series 2 11.6" 4GB - refurbished
Single Unit Why I need this:
I have a cart of aging Macbooks that I love, but they will not last forever. Our school system has switched to Lenovos so my students are adapting to all the Google tools. They give weekly presentations for vocabulary, grammar, and figures of speech as reviews before quizzes. Both my English and creative writing classes use laptops daily to access and create instruction using Canvas and upload work to be graded. Laptops are essential as educational tools.
Quantity: 5 Price: $70.00
