With the school year fast approaching, a Texas school district was scrambling to find the technology required for students to engage in distance learning during the pandemic.
The district needed Chromebooks. Lots of them.
Administrators placed an order with their usual tech provider, only to learn that company wouldn’t be able to fulfill it in time for the start of school. So, they turned to Best Buy for help.
Four business days later, they had secured almost 1,700 Chromebooks for their school.
With many states and school districts embracing distance learning because of the pandemic, many parents might soon find themselves working from home while also helping to manage their kids’ virtual schooling.
To help, we’ve launched a new Parent Hub on Best Buy.com. It’s a one-stop resource for exploring all the tech and tips you need to prepare for a new way of learning.
The site includes tech recommendations for distance learning, including laptops, tablets, Wi-Fi routers and computer accessories. Plus, there are tech tip videos and other resources that are designed to help parents’ get the most out of their tech.
