COVID-19 had a huge impact on everyday life, especially that of children and young adults. Almost overnight, the education sector completely transformed. While some students adapted well to the changes, many struggled. Disruption to routine, lack of face-to-face contact, and adapting to new technology resulted in many challenges. The return to education comes with more change, and it is important that students are equipped to overcome these challenges.

The HP Chromebook is a forward-thinking device that is mindful of the struggles students face, providing users the best tools to stay connected, maximise productivity, and manage their relationship with technology.

PRODUCTIVITY

Google Chrome operating system is designed for simplicity. The user-friendly interface strips back non-essential clutter: minimising distractions and enables users to remain focused.

In addition to the streamlined interface, Google have introduced Digital Wellbeing tools that help students maintain a healthy relationship with technology. These tools enable users to monitor and manage their behaviour, set time limits, restrict distracting apps and block notifications.
ORGANISATION

One of the biggest challenges for students returning to education is entering a new routine. Google Calendar enables them to effectively manage their workload, reducing stress by setting tasks, reminders, daily agendas and working hours. Because the calendar is cloud based, data can also be synced across multiple devices.

AGILE LEARNING

The pandemic showed that it is essential to be able to switch work environments while maintaining productivity. Agile working is the next generation of learning, empowering students to choose where they work – an approach that is proven to have positive effects on wellbeing.

The HP Chromebook bridges the gap between laptop and tablet, making it perfect for agile learning. Its lightweight design allows it to be carried easily on commutes, effortlessly maneuvered and used almost anywhere. Plus the impressive battery life of up-to 13 hours provides further flexibility.
COLLABORATION

Geared towards cloud computing, documents are automatically saved online and easily shareable, allowing students to collaborate on work in real-time from different locations. The HP Chromebook’s natural compatibility with Google Meet enables always-on connectivity, especially when working from home.
