Google Play for Education

Here is an excellent article written by Alison Anderson (@tedrosececi) from the “Getting Smart” blog on the roll out of Google Play for Education:

and a detailed document on the Tablet program from Google:

Interesting reading.  On the surface, it appears the management of the Google Play apps on these tablets is much easier than the Ipad configuration and management of devices.  This is something I am looking to explore further, with the Nexus 7 tablet.  Do not currently have any of these devices at my school, but would like to research these more to see the benefit for student learning at the elementary level.

My question coming out of reading these articles is…what would be the major difference between using a Chromebook and a Nexus 7 tablet with a keyboard attachment?
