I read this article about how Google's Chromebook is now competing with Apple's iPad (and winning) in Twin cities schools and organizations. Due to it's ease of use and dependability, the Chromebook will be a staple in Minnesota schools.
I think it's a great way for students to learn, not to mention it saves the school money (they cost less than a computer). And since there are so few bugs, upkeep will be much easier. It's hard to imagine a tablet-esk gadget in the hands of every 8th grader since it's not what I grew up with (obviously), but I think it's definitely changing for the better.
However, you have to consider how the companies that make this tablets for schools will use them. Will it be a giant market ploy? Guess we'll find out.
