When you get "schooled" in something, you're typically taught a lesson the hard way. Being "schooled" can also be a positive learning experienced.

I created Schooled in Tech to share the technology lessons I've learned, often the hard way, in easy to understand posts. I hope you find them helpful with your troubleshooting and use of technology.

Chromebook

Chromebooks are fast, reliable devices that are perfect for students and adults. However,  all Chromebooks are NOT the same. Make sure any Chromebook you purchase has at least 4GB of RAM.
