Designed to address the needs of teachers and students everywhere, HP Inc. announced new Chromebooks to help accelerate digital teaching and learning – whether at home or in the classroom.
The PC has never been more essential to the future of education. There has been a 46% increase in device shipments for teachers and students over the past year and blended learning is expected to increase by 66% after the pandemic. With nearly 70% of teachers and students feeling less connected to each other during the pandemic, technology solutions are uniquely positioned to foster collaboration and community during this time of accelerated change.
“The classroom is no longer a physical space where teaching and learning happens. Education is happening everywhere – making cloud-based learning more relevant than ever,” said Bill Avey, Global Head of HP Education. “HP is committed to creating innovative solutions that empower teachers and students to easily create and collaborate wherever learning happens.
