Compared: 2018 iPad versus the Acer Chromebook 11 in the school
I am married to an educator who has taught in both an iPod and Chromebook classroom.
In general, the iPad is preferred. It is more intuitive. The iPad camera in particular, but also the software, makes it much easier for the students to create and complete higher quality assignments.
One of the only advantages with a Chromebook is the built-in keyboard for taking standardized tests. Current standardized tests require writing.
The other advantage with Chromebook is that the iPad needs a robust case so the screen does not crack. With the right case, iPads can survive a school year.
Overall, the students Chromebooks had to be replaced more often each year due to failures than the iPads.
If cost is the main deciding factor, it is too short sighted to only look at the initial expenditure. Administrators and school boards making purchasing decisions should be evaluating the long-term cost of systems before making substantial purchases. Of course, including the academic benefits within the equation would be most wise.
