Those Chromebooks in many cases get coupled with Google's classroom software. One doesn't imply the other, but lots of schools seem to be jumping on the integrated platform.

Eh, having Chromebooks really does imply using Google Classroom.

If for no other reason, that Google Apps is the default office suite on Chromebooks, Google Apps for Education is free, and Google Classroom is included with that. Most schools don't have much in the way of a technology budget, so they win by default.

Yeah we have some heavy integration going on. Our district even has a full-time dedicated gApps administrator now.
