I still remember those young days when being able to imagine the possibility of taking our computer to class was a utopia. Much has happened since enchants and schools and educational centers have been modernized in this regard, and at least in the United States, it is common to find in almost all classes, computers or tablets to help students on a day-to-day basis. But that is not its exclusive function, but also It is ideal for all teachers to have exercises and exams controlled at all times that they send to their students, reducing the time taken to correct them.
In recent years, practically since the arrival of the iPad on the market, many students and educational organizations have welcomed it with open arms. But it was not the only device, since the Mac had become one of the most used tools in combination with the iPad thanks to the Apple platform available to teachers and students, in combination with the great discounts it makes in this sector when renewing or buying a new device.
But it seems that both the Mac and the iPad are beginning to give way to both Windows, but especially to ChromeOS, the desktop operating system for very basic devices, which perfectly supplies the functions of the Mac and also has platforms for that teachers and students are in immediate contact. As we can see in the graph, in the United States The use of Macs in schools has been decreasing in recent years, from 8% in 2014 to 5% in 2016. The iPad has also seen its share fall from 26% in 2014 to 14% in 2016. For its part, ChromeOS has seen how it has gone from 38% in 2014 to 58% in 2016.
In the rest of the world we can see that the Mac has also seen its share fall from 2% in 2014 to 1% in 2016. The iPad, for its part, has maintained its share of 9% that it obtained in 2014, although in 2015 it fell to 8% to recover again. ChromeOS is not so widespread around the world, so the market share of Google's operating system for basic laptops has gone from 2% in 2014 to 6% in 2016. What if it has benefited outside the United States United is Windows, which has gone from 47% in 2014 to 64% in 2016.
