Chromebook Tab or Android Tab

[athomashayter]

Good morning Everyone,

 

Our SEN would like to purchase some tablets and have the princely sum of £120 per tab. They would like Tabs over Chromebooks as they want something easily portable and with access to various SEN apps. We are a Google school so ideally we would like to get Chromebook Tabs (yet to find one in that price range however) but my main concern is that staff and/or students wont be able to login to them if they are somewhere out of wifi range. I know that aspects (read apps) can be configured for offline use, but pretty much everything I could find regarding logging in related to a single user rather than a shared device, does any one have any experience in using a shared chromebook device in an area without wifi? Does this work?

Alternatively it would be looking at Android tabs, and a few years ago I remember setting up Samsung Tab (6 I think), assigning a policy via Google and setting teachers up on them, but this was for a single user rather than a shared device...

 

So what are your thoughts and opinions on this?

 

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Kind regards,

Adam
