I’m a teacher, and I need help. There’s not enough hardware for my students to utilize all the learning tools to which I’d like them to have access. I’ve looked at the pros and cons of these two options, and want to know what some non-education techies think. Chromebook bothers me because I don’t think that netbooks are the direction the world’s going, plus it’s new and will probably be going through some growing pains. It’s certainly much more affordable than the more reliable Android tablets, and would be easier to maintain, I think, for our IT department.
I want students to be able to listen to audio books, read books, do presentations using web-based applications like prezi, access and utilize word docs stored on my website, collaborate online, and write and store docs either through google or dropbox. Thoughts?
