Google Apps: Our students and staff have access to Google Apps EDU. Google Apps and specifically Google Docs, has become a very powerful tool for teachers and students. They love the fact students can start an assignment at school, finish it at home, and collaborate on their work with other students. Unless the school site pays for an app (and we’ve had challenges finding a good one), the iPads cannot effectively use Google Apps and all of its features.

there is centralised, web-based control and no manual updating, no anti-virus software, and no locally-stored data to lose when you drop your chromebook. Also, they are completely fungible – anyone can use any Chromebook, log in and get their docs. And if you have visiting or new pupils, they can pick up any Chromebook, get guest access and not interfere with anyone’s documents

We are only a few weeks into each of the pilots, but so far the iPad teachers are a bit disappointed. One of them even asked, “Can I trade the iPads in for Chromebooks?” To Apple iPad devotees, this request might come as a bit of a shock. However, this statement really stems from frustration with iTunes and the iOS operating system.

So why do the Chromebooks look so good?
Immediate Set Up: When delivered to the site the Chromebooks were being used by students within 5 minutes of being taken out of the boxes. The devices integrate with our Google Apps for Edu system, so Technology Services could take care of the initial set up and students were able to immediately log in with their district-provided Google Accounts
Complete Integration with Google Apps: All of the Google Apps tools, along with third party apps the district installs from the Google Apps Marketplace (SlideRocket, Aviary, etc) work with the hardware.
All Websites Work: The Chromebook works with any website. Flash, HTML5 – it doesn’t matter. It just works. The teachers do not have to spend any time looking for or downloading a special app.
Personalization: Since students login to the Chromebooks with their individual accounts, they can personalize the device in terms of adding bookmarks, browser backgrounds, and apps. -

Chris PultzThe experience of supporting both Chromebooks and iPads at this one school site reinforces for me the importance of choosing technology that directly supports your instructional goals and then providing the time, talent, resources, and professional development to ensure the seamless integration in the classroom. Fortunately, we are just at the beginning of these pilots and we have even more to learn from this great group of innovative teachers and students. Who knows, perhaps in few months the Chromebook teacher will be asking to trade her devices for iPads? I’m just happy they let me come learn with them.

Paul MarshallI think iOS5 deals with some of the issues relating to iTunes, as you don't need any PCs to update or sync.
I think he's wrong about needing to buy Apps each time for each device
There's a perfectly fine dropbox App available for submitting work
Otherwise interesting reading-

Additional Costs: The teachers noted that the Chromebooks don’t need a case or any additional apps, yet the initial purchase price is about the same (or even a little less) than a 16GB iPad.

And why are the iPads frustrating?
-
hen you plug the 30 devices into the computer (through the Bretford Syncing Cart) you are met with the most un-Apple of Apple experiences. First you have to wait…it takes iTunes a few moments to see all the devices. Then various windows start popping open including update and registration windows. These windows open for all of the devices. So, if you have 30 devices, you have 30 windows to close. Once the windows are all closed you need to rename each of the iPads.
-
Updates: Have you ever updated your iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch? To update a class set of iPads you have the luxury of experiencing that process 30 separate times.
-
We have discovered a method for streamlining the process – get the first iPad all updated and configured, back it up, and then use that file to individually “image” the remaining iPads.
-
Apps: The teachers have described the App Store as being “a complete mess.”
-
Turning In Student Work: While the iPad may have been designed as a personal device, due to limited funding our sites have situations where students must share iPads.
-
When students use an app like Pages or Keynote to construct content, they cannot easily submit it to their teacher.
-
email does not work well if the teacher has many students
-
Additional Costs: Between the need to purchase apps, a case, and headphones the $499 iPad can quickly increase in total cost of ownership.
-
When I first purchased an iPad I found it frustrating as well. It didn’t do what I expected it to do. However, over time I realized it definitely was a powerful device I would hate to live without, but it was different than anything I had owned before.
-
Similarly, I have had my own Chromebook for the past two months and while I love the battery life and seamless integration with Google Apps and any web 2.0 tool (it’s great for conferences), you can’t do much with it if you don’t have an internet connection and the trackpad is a bit challenging.
