The Right Chromebook for K-12 Education Less Waiting, More Learning with Intel®-powered Chromebooks The need for affordable and sustainable technology solutions that improve learning outcomes and better engage students has led many U.S. educational institutions to implement widespread device adoptions. Based on CoSN’s Annual Infrastructure report, 59% of high schools and 63% of middle schools report that 100% of their students have access to non-shared, or 1:1 devices.1 In order to equip students and teachers with the tools they need to be successful, many school districts have chosen Chromebooks as their preferred student device. Recently, Google* reported that in Q4 of 2018, 21% of all notebooks sold in the U.S. were Chromebooks and that last year alone, the number of monthly Chrome OS* users who had Android* apps enabled on their devices, grew by 250%.2 In the past, Chromebooks were only able to run Chrome web apps, G Suite for Education* add-ons, and brows- er extensions, limiting their usability as compared to other devices and operating systems. With the addition of Android app support, Chromebooks are a much more powerful option for K-12 education. These apps can enhance student and educator experiences by adding new and practical uses for the Chromebook.3 Due to the increased ca- pability of Chromebooks that support Android apps and devices with more powerful configurations including faster processors and increased memory and storage, more and more schools are looking to refresh their deployments of both student and teacher devices with the latest generation of Chromebooks. Choosing the Right Chromebook for Learning Selecting the right Chromebook for students and educators can be challenging given the ever-increasing number of devices and configuration options. In order to help educators separate the wheat from the chaff, Intel® com- missioned Clarity Innovations to evaluate four commonly selected Chromebooks and test their effectiveness at completely common learning and professional development scenarios. As part of our testing, we selected typical applications used in K-12 such as G Suite for Education along with a variety of Android apps. We found that devices powered by Intel® technology allow educators and students to complete learning tasks using educational Android apps faster than devices with MediaTek* or AMD* processors. 1 CoSN 2018-2019 Annual Infrastructure Report 2 What’s new in Chrome OS?

The Right Chromebook for K-12 Education Test Devices We identified four Chromebooks from a variety of device manufacturers to test based on the three lesson scenar- ios we developed. Included below the image of each device is the manufacturer name and model number of the processor. Complete details on the device specifications are available in the appendix. Acer* Chromebook Dell* Chromebook 11 Lenovo* 300e HP* Chromebook 14 Spin 13 3100 Intel® CoreTM i5 Intel® Celeron® N4000 MediaTek* 8173C AMD* A4 Conclusion When it comes to teaching and learning, one of the most valuable resources in any classroom is time. During the adoption process, purchasing low cost devices may seem like a good deal; however, the hidden cost of lost learn- ing time can have detrimental effects to both students and educators. Chromebooks with processors powered by Intel® technology save important teaching and learning time by reducing delays and allowing students and educa- tors to spend less time waiting for the processor to keep up with a learning task. However, when testing the processing time for using Android apps to complete more complex tasks like creating and exporting video projects and building and exporting 3D models and simulations, we discovered great differ- ences in processor speed and learning time saved. The table below illustrates the total learning time saved over the four-year life of the device by using a Chromebook powered by an Intel® processor. – 4 – Copyright © 2019 Clarity Innovations, Inc., All Rights Reserved. *Other names and brands may be claimed as the property of others. The Right Chromebook for K-12 Education The Value of Time Saved Calculations below are based on middle and high school teachers employing similar learning scenarios as those outlined in this report, twice a week in five separate classes for 30 weeks. Total learning time saved is based on comparison with the slowest device. See Appendix D for additional details on average U.S. teacher salary.

The Right Chromebook for K-12 Education Overall Test Results The learning scenarios we developed and tested were created to realistically simulate what most students and educators experience when using technology in and out of the classroom. Most lessons require the use of a web browser for access to information and research, as well as simple collaborative authoring tools like those offered in G Suite for Education. As the complexity of the learning scenario tasks increased – such as through video editing or 3D object modeling – the value of the more powerful processors had a significant impact on the time it takes to complete a lesson.

  • A Systematic Survey of Firmware Extraction Techniques for Iot Devices
    Breaking all the Things | A Systematic Survey of Firmware Extraction Techniques for IoT Devices Sebastian Vasile, David Oswald, and Tom Chothia University of Birmingham [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. In this paper, we systematically review and categorize differ- ent hardware-based firmware extraction techniques, using 24 examples of real, wide-spread products, e.g. smart voice assistants (in particular Amazon Echo devices), alarm and access control systems, as well as home automation devices. We show that in over 45% of the cases, an exposed UART interface is sufficient to obtain a firmware dump, while in other cases, more complicated, yet still low-cost methods (e.g. JTAG or eMMC readout) are needed. In this regard, we perform an in-depth investiga- tion of the security concept of the Amazon Echo Plus, which contains significant protection methods against hardware-level attacks. Based on the results of our study, we give recommendations for countermeasures to mitigate the respective methods. 1 Introduction Extracting the firmware from IoT devices is a crucial first step when analysing the security of such systems. From a designer's point of view, preventing the firmware from falling into the hands of an adversary is often desirable: for in- stance, to protect cryptographic keys that identify a device and to impede prod- uct counterfeit or IP theft. The large variety of IoT devices results in different approaches to firmware extraction, depending on the device in question. Past work has looked at the state of security of IoT devices, e.g.
