iPad v android tablet

Hi all
In my institution, PC labs are being phased out (gulp!) and tablets/iPads are coming in (but they haven�t decided which, yet).
What do you use in your classroom? iPads or Tablets?
Personally, I prefer android tablets over iPads. I think androids are more flexible in terms of Bluetooth sharing and downloading free apps without needing to log in to the store. And 80% of my students use an android phone (so they are familiar with how android works). However, everyone in management seems to say iPad iPad iPad (and they don�t actually teach!)
I�m keen to hear your personal opinion on what does/doesn�t work for you in your classroom.
Cheers
Jayho

I do not think that either android or iOS will fully replace the windows-based PCs and laptops. Since windows 10 am looking forward to more tablets based on the good, old windows. In the meantime, I will use my android tab for browsing and media playback, which they are good at :) |

I would say android tablets especially your students are familiar with androids. If I were you, I would choose android to save time not teaching them new instructions, |

Thank you Gi2Gi and Pretty 3
It�s a bit scary knowing that PC labs will be phased out at a time when iPads and tablets don�t have the same functionality as PCs, yet.
Cheers
