Many classes this year, mainly in the English department, have Samsung Google Chromebooks.  SJHS originally bought the Chromebooks last year for Ms. Miley’s Journalism class.  “They worked so well that the school bought two classroom sets,” said Ms. Dunn, a seventh and ninth grade English and the current Journalism teacher.  A Chromebook, according to Ms. Dunn, is a mini laptop that has no hard drive.  This means that nothing can be saved to the computer itself.  That is why everything typed on a Chromebook is saved through Google.
