In this episode, I chat with Erik Stromquist from CTL. Erik is the CEO of CTL and shares some insights on the new Chromebook Plus. This device must meet some rigorous requirements in order for it to be name the "Chromebook Plus". He discusses who this device is for, how it came to be, and CTL's vision on how it could be used in school settings. This is a great conversation and believe me, this device is a one of a kind Chromebook! Buen provecho!
