Why Some Schools are Selling All Their iPads

The arguments against the iPads are very legitimate.  I wish I had more experience with both the Chromebook and the iPad so that I could come to my own conclusion.  None of the classrooms I have been in have been so technology oriented and it is very interesting to read and see pictures of classrooms that are so technology oriented.  I understand how the iPad could be viewed as more of a recreational device.  They are very similar to iPhones and most students have been using them for fun for at least a year or two now so the transition to make it a learning device could be difficult.  The Chromebook is a little different, but I hope to have more experience with it because I honestly have never even used one so it was a little difficult for me to understand the article with no previous knowledge of the device.  I do really like the idea that the Chromebook uses a cloud because I remember it being so difficult when your computer crashed and you lost all the information.  The debate does not seem like it will be concluded any time soon and still needs to be tested.
