Good advice on which device

 

Which Windows device is right for your BYOD programme?

Recommending the right device is a balancing act between the cost to families and the functionality you need in the classroom. Here’s a quick comparison to make sure you’re recommending the right level of device.

 

Entry-level devices

These work for students who are mainly doing the following:

  • Web-based enquiry and online learning.
  • Working collaboratively on a variety of documents.
  • Accessing shared files and resources.
  • Needing to use Office365.
  • Using software such as Minecraft for Education.
  • Using applications such as Sketch UP, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Spark.
  • Using YouTube as a learning tool and for research.
  • Requiring a device that can be managed with Group Policies, Kiosk mode, managed and timed updates and apps.
  • Looking for a rugged device that can handle a knock or a drop.
  • Looking for a device that can perform all day, without needing additional charging.

Mid-range devices

If you think all that sounds great but want a bit more flexibility, then you may want to consider a touch screen device. This will do everything above but also support Windows Ink. These devices also tend to fold into tablet mode and have a world-facing camera. Touch screen devices have a glossier screen, so look a little brighter and tend to display colours more vividly.

High-end devices

The next step up is about larger screens and more power. More expensive models have more storage, but you are mainly paying for slimmer, lighter, better-looking devices. So consider whether you need additional storage above your cloud based storage options, and if aesthetics are important to you as well.
