    "Easy as 1-2-3

    Early adopters of the Chromebook offer these tips for a ­successful rollout:

    Update Wi-Fi access. "Have sufficient bandwidth to keep your students from getting frustrated," says Shane Millin, technology director for Marshall Public Schools in Wisconsin. "When kids get frustrated, things start breaking."

    Commit to Google Apps for Education. "Maximizing your investment requires a commitment to the cloud," says David Fringer, director of information systems for Iowa's Council Bluffs Community School District. "If your district isn't ready, consider selecting a different computing device."

    Train teachers up front. "We recommend at least 24 hours of professional development," says Dr. Claudia Edwards, deputy superintendent for academics for the Fairfield County School District in Winnsboro, S.C. "We called our first group of teacher experts 'Chromies,' and they serve as the go-to resource in their buildings.""
