Bradley-Bourbonnais Community High School District 307 will be going to Chromebooks. More than likely, the district has considered protecting these devices. However, we have found that not all protection is the same.
Insurance plans work. Replacements take time, and the plan itself adds a cost to either parents or the district, which is basically the same thing. Companies that offer insurance do it to make money, so the rate is set based on normal breakage estimates.
Covers can stop many of the usual ways students will break the Chromebooks in Bradley, Illinois. However, soft cases are cumbersome, and students remove the devices every chance they get, especially at home.
Most hard cases are cheap plastic. They might protect the Chromebooks once or twice. But these are pretty, so students will only snap the plastic covers off once in a while. Again, some protection.
The Cranium by Educabana is the best solution as a cheap and simple screen flex protector. It also doubles as a whiteboard, which is great for teachers who don't want to use the computers every second of class.
