[ISLMA-Share] iPad vs Chrome Tablet

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I had the chance to get "hands on" with both the new Asus and the Acer
Chrome tablets recently.

By "tablets" I mean that they were convertibles -- they can be used as
regular laptops or the screen folds all the way back to use it in tablet
form.  Pretty slick, less than $300 for either one.



Remember to buy the Google Apps management license for the device and you
can lock it down so that all the student sees is that form, or a landing
page that has a link to that form as well as links to search/research
tools.  If that is the only things it will be used for, you can probably do
the 2GB Ram version of the devices and save a couple dollars.
