Acer Chromebook – learning and growing together at Escuela Santa Dorotea

Acer Chromebook helped the Santa Dorotea school build a successful 1:1 learning environment where students and teachers thrive.

As we often say, there are several advantages of digital transformation for schools, from increased student engagement to enhanced participation. Not to mention easier access to resources, and smoother transitions to hybrid scenarios, just to name a few.

Read on to discover how Acer Chromebook is elevating learning and teaching for this school from Barcelona. 

Welcome to Escuela Santa Dorotea

Santa Dorotea is a religious and concerted educative school centre located in Barcelona. It enrols 640 students, and its staff includes 45 people, between teachers, collaborators and professionals.

In 2018, they introduced EdTech to their institute thanks to our partner FDos, and since then, it has become a crucial part of their curriculum. 

Following the motto “The joy of growing together”, the school made Acer Chromebooks available for students from mid-junior until mid-high, adopting a one-to-one approach. 

As a result, teachers empowered the way the school’s approach to education, providing new tools to pursue multilingualism and active learning. On the other hand, students love working with their Chromebooks because they have unlocked a smooth and creative way to learn. Technology definitely enhanced the school’s learning environments.

Acer Chromebook – an all-around school companion

Acer Chromebooks proved to be the ideal choice for Santa Dorotea’s students and one-to-one education.

First of all, the Chromebooks allow learning to happen in a variety of scenarios, as mentioned by Elsa Franco, the school’s Chromebook Coordinator:

Chromebook allows us to run the lessons normally in the 3 ways we are currently used to due to recent circumstances: in-class, online or hybrid.

Secondly, as remarked by Gerard Cruz from Santa Dorotea’s Equipo de Innovación, what stands out is Acer Chromebook’s durability. Indeed, thanks to Military-tested designs and the Antimicrobial Corning® Gorilla® Glass, Acer Chromebooks are safe from accidental falls, dust and liquid spills. In other words, they can stand almost anything you throw at them!

Moreover, the convertible design and touch screen sported by the Acer Chromebook Spin 511 make pupils’ learning experience more versatile and, most importantly, fun.

On the management side, Acer Chromebooks also reduce the burden on school IT departments. Thanks to Google Zero-Touch Enrollment, they come ready out-of-the-box, with no additional configuration. All they needed was an internet connection, and the Chromebooks automatically enrolled into the school domain.

Finally, the latest Acer Chromebooks also match the Santa Dorotea eco-friendly mindset. As a matter of fact, the devices feature an OceanGlass™ touchpad made from ocean-bound plastics and Post-Consumer Recycled plastics (PCR). Plus, they are all shipped with 100% recycled packaging.

Inspire daily. Learn always.

Our goal is to bring evolving technologies to schools and institutes to foster meaningful, inclusive and inspiring educational experiences.
