A touchscreen Chromebooks is even better when you add in a digital pen.
Teaching during the COVID pandemic made this abundantly clear to me...sometimes you just need to write with a pen.
Only a handful of Chromebooks come with an included digital pen, but that doesn’t mean you can’t add a pen to your Chromebook.
In this episode you'll learn about three types of digital pens and how the Universal Stylus Initiative (USI) is going to make pens even better for Chromebook users.

When Chromebooks first became a thing back in 2013, the web was very different.
Chrome Apps allowed developers to create an app-like experience for Chromebook users, something websites simply couldn't do at the time.
Seven years later, the web has matured and can do pretty much everything that you would want in an app, without the need to develop an actual application.
In January of 2020 Google Announced the plan to official shutdown Chrome Apps starting in 2021.
Listen to this episode to learn more about the timeline and how this announcement will impact education.

I like to tell you a little story about a project that I was working on recently and some new things I discovered about my Chromebook.
As the self-proclaimed "Chromebook guy" I feel very strongly that I should use a Chromebook full-time and work as hard as I can to do everything on a Chromebook.
My "Chromelife" was challenged recently when I purchase a Cricut cutting machine.
Officially, the Cricut is NOT compatible with Chromebooks. It clearly says so on the website. But I decided to ignore the warning and see if I could get it to work anyway!
