I have worked in the church for much of the last 38 years. I've had other jobs too, but the church keeps calling me back. Currently, I am not a pastor, but I make my living doing Web & Communications work for the church.
The Bible has been a big part of my life. I read it, study it, refer to it on a regular basis. In older days, I carried it in book form. I wore out any number of copies through the years.
Now I carry numerous copies on my phone, and use the You Version app. The Chrome Web Store has a browser version of the app.
It has a few more capabilities than the mobile version, it is easier to read, and fairly easy to use all of its tools. The app is quite portable and user friendly. More and more of my friends in ministry choose to use apps like this as they lead their congregations.
I could see using the Chromebook as a regular part of a Sunday School/Christian Education program in a local church or community. The possibilities are huge for people of all ages to use technology for regular learning. I can imagine some customized apps that could be tailored to a congregation/class and as easy as the Chromebook is to use and manipulate, it wouldn't be just the 18 and under crowd that would find it helpful. (I had a complimentary idea a few years back that might be worth exploring)
This Sunday, I am going to read the Bible on my Chromebook.
