Perks of Having Chromebooks and iPads Accessible for ALL Students and Teachers
After reading a section from one of my preferred Ed Tech Bloggers, Inufsed Classrooms, I was in complete aggreance with the blogger when she discussed the pros of students and teachers to have access to Chromebooks and iPads. Something that was suggested by her was that a school who is 1:1 with Chromebooks provide their teachers with access to iPads as well. It does not need to be 1:1 for iPads, but it could be a cart that could be utilized by classroom teachers for their students. For example, iPhones are the most common phone used in America today. As educators, we are preparing our students for the rest of their lives. If students have access to iPads, they will learn to properly utlize an apple product. Having access to both types of devices will also support meeting the needs of all students. Some students may benefit more from an iPad than a Chromebook given the task on hand.
