I'm curious to see if MS can continue to get schools to switch. So far, each quarter, they are growing, and it's bc of one word: ecosystem. Chromebooks are just hardware, but MS is selling it all: PCs, Teams, Office, Skype, Inking, AI, support, and partnerships - a better sell.https://twitter.com/DWTrump/status/1141759478439845888 …

I'm not completely ignorant here as my best friend is head of IT for a private HS in the area and I know the head of IT for Marlborough school's; yes, G Suite has similar features, but Microsoft seems to be doing more around accessibility, inking, gaming-as-learning, etc.

My twin is a teacher. She was a pilot classroom for Chromebooks for her school before the district converted to them (and I think the school she was hired at for next year uses Chromebooks, too). She's pretty happy with them. G Suite for Education is awesome, too.

Yeah, talking to teachers is first. Talking to IT admins is second. Unless the teacher is also the IT admin (as I saw during my practicum for my Master's in Education). I now work in software, FYI. Google's ecosystem is crushing it for good reason.

Disagree. You talk to both. Teachers can be just as dumb as anyone on tech e.g. at this school, one teacher wanted an iPad *and* MBP. School offered a Surface Pro instead, teacher liked it (No teacher wanted a ChromeOS device, btw - this school is more Apple or MS than Google).
