In just four years, Chromebooks have gone from being the new kid on the block to a leading choice for schools. Find out how this smart, practical solution is solving the most pressing challenges in education today.

Hear directly from leaders in the Île-de-France Region, the Meurthe-et-Moselle department, and the Dijon Metropolis as they share the remarkable success story of the Chromebook in France.
