Starting a Journey with Google Chromebook

We are revising the 5th edition of the Informatics and Nursing textbook.  The new second chapter will be the essentials of computers and software.  Operating system(OS) is one of the computer concepts.  Google Chrome OS used for the $179 Chromebook changes everything!  The Chrome OS is not installed on a hard drive.  It is a web browser and OS built into one.  You open the computer, connect to a WiFi system and work.  All of the software apps are in the cloud.  Examples are the Google Drive apps, email.  The laptop does have two USB ports, so you can exchange files on a USB device.  More later as I learn...
