DEVICES IN THE CLASSROOM
Before this class time, my knowledge of devices used in the classroom was actually quite extensive. In middle school we used the COW or the Computers On Wheels. This was a cart that held about 30 Chromebook laptops and charged them. We also had experience with Desktop computers, which are less common in large schools today. I had very little experience with the iPad before high school though. Through my prep for class I learned:
For the Love of Laptops (article on website) Laptops vs. iPads (review website) In class I found that iPads offer many fun and educational apps that can really aid learning. But there are also so many downfalls to using iPads in schools that many schools are returning their tablets in turn for laptops. I think as I researched the benefits and downfalls of these devices, that my understanding has grown immensely. I also believe that if I had a choice in the matter, I would choose Chromebook Laptops for my classroom, not iPads.
