More than 2,000 schools are now using Chromebooks for Education.

To start your school’s journey you can tune into one of the Hangouts On Air next week on the Google in Education Google+ Page.

Businesses around the world are also using Chromebooks where they need greater security and increased shareability. For example, Chromebooks enable employees like those on retail shop floors, manufacturing lines and out in the field, giving them access to central information and providing more timely updates on remote conditions. This is helping businesses to make better decisions faster.

We are excited to see what schools and businesses in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, and the Netherlands do with Chromebooks.
