And in reality, this doesn't even become an issue much in practice: Google heavily encourages the one-for-one model, where each student gets their own Chromebook. They make a lot more money on licensing that way.
- jacksmith21006 8y agoGoogle shared yesterday that CBs grew 50% YoY. So the CB way is definitely working. I am in the US and K12 is completely dominated by CBs. Personally I just love what Google has done for K12. I have 8 kids and all their info all liked to a Google Sheet and able to drill down with each kid to whatever detail I want. But the biggest thing Google brought is analytics. Never made sense to match up kids and teachers by gut. Google is revolutionizing the use of technology in the classroom. I have my doubts we will see Apple or MS come back in the classroom. Both owned the class room for decades and very quickly Google now completely dominates.
