Educators with students mainly on Chromebooks my find this report from GoGuardian<\/a> of interest. GoGuardian has been able to aggregate data on 5 million student users and allows descriptive data frequency of use and trends. \u00a0The greatest amount of time is spend using wt he Google tools (69%) with 62% of this time using docs and about 21% using YouTube. Quizlet was the most commonly accessed site for middle and high school students. GoGuardian also lists the most popular sites by content area which is not something I will summarize here.<\/p>\n

Data are also provided on the proportion of students allowed to use their Chromebooks at home with some information about how the devices are used outside of school. 27%, 53%, and 57% of elementary, middle school, and high school students take their devices home. \u00a0The report claims that 68% of home use is academic in nature.<\/p>\n

It is interesting to review how these data have been evaluated. \u00a0For example, Andy Losik finds the data very disturbing<\/a> noting that little data are present to demonstrate students are making active use of the devices (e.g., the sites that dominate student use). It is true that only 2% of Google use is devoted to Sites so students are not building web sites. I would classify writing as active processing, but others do not classify writing in this way.<\/p>\n
