Verify your IT infrastructure - Android for Education Help Once the tablets have been deployed to students and are in use, you may find that you need to make some adjustments to your Wi-Fi based on usage. To view usage, use your Wi-Fi access point’s management console or enterprise Wi-Fi network management tool to view client connections and network utilization. Tablet network performance may degrade as access points and/or external Internet links become congested. Network traffic shaping or quality of service may be implemented to help provide satisfactory network performance. Suggested adjustments: Additional Wi-Fi access points may need to be introduced if the existing access points are over-subscribed.

3 Reasons Why Chromebook Beats iPad in 1:1 Programs The Chromebook vs. iPad debate may be one that we never resolve. Whatever I say for the Chromebook, or whatever you say for the iPad, we will never convince each other. The truth is probably that any 1:1 device program is better than none. Although, many of you will counter by saying that buying or mandating any single device is misguided to begin with, and that we should be focusing on a BYOD (bring your own device) structure and diving deeply into the world of VDI (virtual desktop infrastructure). Case in point is Tim Holt’s passionate plea for choosing the iPad route in his essay, “Why We Are Misunderstanding the Chromebook-iPad Debate.” In the end, someone has to make a decision.

Chromebooks are much cheaper up-front There’s no getting around it: Chromebooks are just cheaper up-front. The low price of Chromebooks makes them much more attractive to cash-strapped school systems. Keyboards are still necessary Chromebooks have keyboards.
