I serve on my local board of education an am an Android enthusiast. I was reading through a journal I get regarding education. In this journal, there was an article highlighting technology in the classroom. The article talked plenty about tablets and smartphones in general but specifically mentioned iPad several times. It made mention of Google Drive and Google Applications, but nothing specifically mentioned about Android.
This, I think, is very sad. I know that Android can be and is being used in the classroom; however, it seems like it takes the back seat to Apple products. I know with the open-source of Android, it makes a great platform for educating future innovators.
So I would like to open up discussion on how Android is being used in education. I would love to hear from teachers, administrators, and education professionals, as well as those with a stake in education.
