Are computer labs still a thing in schools?

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

At my kid's elementary school, they just have a charging rack full of cheap Chromebooks and the kids check one out in the morning and put it back in the afternoon. The middle schoolers get to take them home.

European Gen Z here. My schools always had a computer lab and it was always "real" PCs, never in my life i actually saw a Chromebook.

Here they are - in more well-funded schools at least. I keep seeing the posts about children being allowed laptops even at home, but here it would be unthinkable, because kids might break them or parents might steal them.

I'm sure this varies a lot from district to district, but the districts that I have teacher friends in, they've been using Chromebooks almost exclusively for the better part of a decade now
