Shortly after the Wall Street Journal published the article "Chromebooks were once good for schools now there becoming e-waste," TCAPS' Executive Director of Technology and todays co-host Evan O'Branovic had a conversation with the Ticker’s Craig Manning for his article “The Chromebook Question: Do School Laptops Cost Too Much For What They Offer?" On today's podcast we dive a bit deeper into that question and recommend some criteria to consider before making your next edtech investment.
