Why Chrome book or Macbook?Understanding the PMA Limited Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Program. |
We have received several emails asking - why the Chrome book or Macbook? After a year of researching what devices were best for our scholars and consulting with teachers on what devices would best work for the classroom, we agreed - a laptop was needed. Chrome books and Macbooks provide a range of apps and opportunities for students to learn about technology and through technology. The PMA Tech Team has received requests for debilitating viruses to be removed. Each PC has had over a thousand viruses. Chromebooks and Macbooks are less susceptible to viruses. They are actually the most proactive and secure devices for learning.
Chrome books range from $149-$999 depending on features. The Macbooks range from $999-$3,200 depending on features. Both can do essentially the same things we want kids to do in class. However, they give a choice to students Please see the PMA website for more information |
