Compared: 2018 iPad versus the Acer Chromebook 11 in the school
I am an Apple person and I work in a district with 1:1 technology. K-2 is 1:1 iPads and 3-12 is 1:1 Chromebooks. The single largest advantage of a Chromebook is how well the cloud storage works. A kid or faculty can grab ANY chromebook from a cart, sign in, and their entire desktop is right there. From which files they save to their desktop to their background picture. All the chrome books are identical so each one feels like yours. At home my son just logs into chrome and every file he’s ever worked on from 3rd grade is right there in drive. His calendar. His Google classroom with assignments, grades, messages from teachers.
It works incredibly well compared to the iPad carts where teachers and schools have to constantly submit a ticket to tech for specific app that fits into a lesson plan.
As a staff person I much prefer my macbooks touchpad and I’m not sure I could live without exposé but the ability of the chromebooks in the classroom is astounding.
