continue into the future,

allowing tablets to overtake the

entire PC market in 2015.

Tablets in Education

• The tablet market in US Education grew by an explosive 103% year-over-year in 2012 and continues the same through 2013.

• Shipments of end-user devices (including tablets, notebooks and desktop PCs) in the US education sector are up 15.3% to 8.5 million units, despite weaker PC sales.

• Tablets accounted for 35.4% (3ML) of the market in 2012, up from 19.4% in 2011, with significant room for future growth.

Tablets in Education News

• Miami Dade – To buy 100,000

Windows based tablets

• LA – Purchases 30,000 iPads

• North Caroline signs 21ML dollar

deal for Android tablets

Tablets in Education

• As the movement toward a fully digital classroom continues, the growth of tablets as the end user device of choice will continue to grow exponentially.

• 46% of technology directors rate tablets as a high priority over the next three years.

• In large districts the number increases to 51%

• None of the respondents consider tablets a low priority.

Tablets in Education

• Large districts are planning purchases of more tablets in 2013-2014 than other districts, in part because they are a higher priority but largely because they have more students to serve.

• Some 80% of the large districts surveyed reported that they were planning to buy more than 100 units of tablets.

Move to One to One

• Many large districts are starting to move toward a 1:1 environment and consider tablets as a viable devices for this model

What Driving This Trend

• Technology and the Web have given educators

new learning models — blended learning, flipped

classrooms, and the ability to do remote or

"distance" teaching.

• Students, especially at the K–12 level, use online

tools such as Wikipedia, Google Search,

OpenClass, GeoGebra, Khan Academy, and

Blogger for coursework, projects, and homework.

Teachers keep current with online lesson plans

and class syllabi.

Here are a few more reasons that tablets may become the dominate choice for

an end-user device in education.

• Digital textbooks, availability of free

educational software, and the move

to cloud based curriculum.

• Affordable computing devices, improved

screens and battery life

• They are compact, very lightweight and

extremely easy to carry.

Tablets in Education

• So if it’s only a matter of time before you start to deploy tablets … the question is which platform and / or device is right for your environment?

Apple - iOS - iPads

Google - Android - Chromebooks

Microsoft - Win8 - Tablets

Consideration when choosing.

• Intended use – what will these devices be used for – Apps, Subjects, On-line serivces

• How you are going to deploy – short and long term

• Will Students take them home, 1:1, (will they be shared) Lab, School, Special Ed

• What “Cloud” environment are you using today – Google, MS, Apple?

• Will you use the devices for administering State testing

• Current IT infrastructure – Use and leveraging your current IT investments - Active Directory, User profiles, Network and internet access/filters

• What will your wireless infrastructure to support

Consideration when choosing.

• Budget – not just the device – Infrastructure, Training (PD and Tech), Ongoing maintenance and support

• Mobile Device Management – how are you going to manage all of these devices … do you have and MDM today

• Classroom Management - How can a teacher control the devices and the student experience in their classrooms.

• Interfacing with other devices – Digital Classroom, TV, Whiteboard, Printers, Projectors

• Secure storage and charging these devices - How to securely store / keep them charged and share amongst kids (separate profiles)

Consideration when choosing.

• Educational Applications - What apps are you using today – What apps are available – Do they work on device / platform

• Digital Textbooks - Will the device / platform support the digital textbooks from your recommended publisher

• Curriculum Software - What are you using today – What is available – Does it work on device / platform

• Learning Curve – How familiar are the teachers and staff with the platform you choose

• Peripherals Available for the device / platform – Keyboard, headphones with microphones … connectors

The Device – More than Price

iPad$399 - $700

Windows 8$349 - $1,000

Android$99 - $600

Chromebook$200 - $450

The Device – More than Price

• Is it rugged enough• Most devices are made for the consumer market• Built for use 18 – 24 months• Not designed to standup to the rigors of the classroom• Factor in the cost of protecting the device – If available

• Battery Life • A fully charge battery must last a full day• All battery life deteriorates over time – What about Yr 3 – 4

• IO Ports• What IO ports come with the device – are they compatible with your

IO devices?

The Device – More than Price

• Size - both physical size and screen size as well as ratio

• Screen – resolution, brightness and touch type

• Apps included and availability

• Processor power and speed – low power, single core to higher power 64-bit processor

• Amount of RAM and internal storage with external storage availability

• Audio - internal microphone and speakers

• Web Cam - Camera / Video - front, rear quality

• Accessories / Storage / Charging

• Wireless features - WiFi, Bluetooth, 3G, 4G

The Device – More than Price

• State testing• Does the device and platform meet State testing requirements• Attachable Keyboards required – turn off Virtual Keyboard• Headset and Mic • Can you lock the system

down – Browser - USB• You can test the device

Great now I’m more confused!

VS VS

• Strengthens and Benefits

• We will examine the Pro’s and Con’s of each platform and device(s)

• Provide guidance as to when a specific platform and/or device is the best fit

• Full disclosure – Today we do not sell Apple products

iPads in Education

• iPads where the first tablets and currently dominate the education market in terms of penetration and sheer numbers > 80%

• iPads where the first consumer tablet and many people are now used to them … therefore most teachers and students have iPad experience

• The move to iPads was largely driven by teachers/administrators who pressured IT to deploy them … not a good fit for most IT organizations

• iPad was first to market and as a result, a number of schools have new standardized on this platform

• In February 2013, Apple estimated that it has sold a total of more then 4.5 million iPads to US based educational institutions.

iPads Pros and Cons

Pros ConsLot’s of educational applications Relatively Expensive – compared to other option

Feature rich – WiFi and 4G, 5MP camera Apple Control – iTunes dependant

Great product quality Not compatible with MS Active Directory

10 hour battery (new) No Flash support

Known commodity / field tested – Nobody gets fired for buying

Likely not compatible with current IT infrastructure

Great quality screen No SD card reader

Has management tools for IT to admin No – USB port

Can buy tools to make it work with most devices Does not come with protective case

When are iPads the right choice

• If you are ready heavily invested in iPads – change might not make sense

• If you are using the Apple ecosystem today – iCloud / Apple TV

• If you have the budget – the most expensive total cost of ownership (if you are a Microsoft shop)

• If there are specific apps that are only available for Apple

Android in Education

• Android is now holds the largest market share of the tablet market, although not yet in education.

• It is becoming a more popular choice by educators.

• Google's new education initiative, Google Play for Education, is designed to put more Android based tablets into K-12 classrooms.

• The potential cost advantage and the proliferation of Android tablets in the consumer market, educators are starting to move to Android as a standard.

Android in Education

• Android is now the largest market segment of the tablet market, although not yet in education.

• It is becoming a more popular choice by educators, as well.

• Google's new education initiative, Google Play for Education, is designed to put more Android based tablets into K-12 classrooms.

• The potential cost advantage and the proliferation of Android tablets in the consumer market, educators are starting to move to Android as a standard.

• Google is putting a lot of effort and resources into the education market

• Between Chromebooks and Andorid tablets Google expects to be a dominate player in the education market

• Is not compatible with a MS back office IE: Active Directory – Therefore you need to figure out how you are going to manage these devices

• Android is still the “wild west” new release every few months and no guarantee of backwards compatibility

• Cheapest device – most choice

Android Tablets

Pros ConsLot’s of apps – many free Standards are less defined

Wide selection of devices – price range Not an iPad

PRICE - least tablet expensive platform User interface less intuitive than iPad

Flexibility in features - pay for what you need Management tools still being established

Flash support Quality of apps – not same rigor as others

Multi-tasking – Multi Profile Quality of vendors – all over the map

USB support – SD card support Not compatible with Active Directory

Free O/S Likely a learning curve for staff

Less closed than Apple – But Google controlled

When to Choose Android

• If you are not heavily invested in MS back office or Apple infrastructure

• Smaller deployments

• Willing to accept learning curve and/or you have in-house expertise

• Are heavily invested in the Google Ecosystem today – Gmail, Google docs, Google Apps

• Willing to live with potential of O/S change not being compatible with device

What is a Chromebook?

• A Chromebook as inexpensive Internet-dependent device that allows users to starts up super fast – no overhead.

• They’re relatively lightweight, mobile and powered by Google’s Chrome operating system.

• The only app natively stored that runs on the device is a browser.

• Everything else is composed of Web apps (email, photos, documents), or apps that run while you’re connected to a network.

• Of course, this means there’s very little you can do on the Chromebook without Internet access.

• Everything is saved on the Web – if the Chromebook dies apps and docs live

Chromebooks

• Chromebooks can connect to the Internet via both Wi-Fi and 3G (if device supports it), but until there’s 24/7 worldwide Internet connection with zero downtime, the fact that the Chromebook needs to be connected to fully function remains a real limiting factor

• Many students lack the required internet connection at home to be able to use these devices after hours

• Unlike tablets where applications and work can be stored an operate independent of a network connection – Chromebooks must be connected

Chromebooks Pros and Cons

Pros ConsQuit a few apps – many free Standards are less defined - still maturing

A selection of devices - various features Not an iPad

PRICE - least expensive platform - $220 - $450 Must be on-line to use device - Students homes?

Flash support Not as many apps

Multi-tasking Quality of product can be questionable

USB support – SD card support – HDMI support Not compatible with Active Directory – without CMS

Boot extremely fast – No OS to load Likely a learning curve for staff

Bigger screen than tablets Completely Google controlled

Management tools – Chrome Management Services (CMS) ($30/Device) – Allows you to manage and work with Active DirectoryEasy to deploy and maintain

When to choose Chromebooks?

• When you are using the Google Ecosystem already … Gmail, docs, apps

• When you do not expect the student to take the device home

• You are not using applications that need to be run native on the device

• If your infrastructure can support these devices

Windows 8 Tablets

• The latest platform to launch in the tablet market is the Windows based tablets … and they are still playing catch up

• Very small part of the tablet market (less than 5%) at this point, however, growing quickly and gaining market share

• Microsoft take an aggressive approach – Windows O/S is now very inexpensive for education customer … “Shape the Future” program

• Initial Launch was with Windows RT … not well received

Windows 8 Tablets

• It’s new but, you already know it. You can still work the way you always have, using your familiar desktop and the Start button. But now, you can also experience it with the magic of touch.

• It works with what you have. You’ll be fully connected, because your new tablet or PC will work with most printers, cameras and software you already have.

• It’s easy to get around. With the option of touch or mouse and keyboard you can quickly and easily get work done the way you want.

• It’s flexible. You’ll get the same Windows experience across tablets, and laptops. And with the new 2-in-1s, you can get a tablet and laptop in one.

Windows 8 Tablets

• Microsoft Office Get things done on the go with the power of Office on your Windows tablet, Surface, or PC. Office may be sold separately.

• Active Directory. Using A Windows Tablet means you can authenticate users through MS Active directory.

• Search smarter. Find what you’re looking for quickly with one search across the Web, your tablet or PC, and your apps with the new Bing Smart Search.

• Exclusive apps. Download the apps you want, then use them across your tablet, laptop or PC. Plus, get the built-in Mail, Calendar and Photos, and more.

Windows 8 Tablets

Pros ConsRuns most Windows apps – Windows 8 Store It’s not an iPad – Teachers love iPads

Easy for IT Admin to manage – AD compatible Fewer education apps than iPad and Android

Supports Flash Not all e-textbook vendors on this platform today

Supports USB, HDMI and SD cards Little market presence in this space

Quality of Windows/products Not really a popular consumer product today

Very inexpensive O/S

Window Ecosystem – Support Infrastructure

Total cost to deploy – cost of device

Price of devices has come way down

Lots of free software and tools – Office 365

Works with peripherals – Whiteboards, projectors, printers, clickers

When to choose Windows 8

• If you are heavily invested in MS back office

• Large deployment – need to easily manage large number of devices

• If you have a lot of Windows expertise in-house

• Need to device to work with a number of peripherals
