The article mentions poor wifi infrastructure, but I'm surprised (or not? This is TechCrunch?) they didn't mention privacy. At parent-teacher meetings, reps from my local school board have said that they can't use google apps because of privacy concerns, what with student data being stored on servers in the US.
Is google addressing this? I'd love to see chromebooks used here but the privacy issue is real and if kids' personal or school data is being harvested on a US server, it's tough to advocate for them.

- discreditable 9y agoWe have Cisco WLCs too … from 2009.
- mavhc 9y agoThey still seem to work great, cheaper things available now at the same level though
