Our school was chosen to pilot a project using 20 Netbooks (cost less $400 each). A netbook cart and wireless (wireless works off the cart).
Students will be using Google Apps (cloud computing), which we implemented in Feb. 2008 ( read more) . Google Apps will allow students to save all their documents in the "cloud".
So now instead of teachers booking a computer lab - the computer lab can be moved into their classroom. This is also a much cheaper solution than traditional computer labs.
The netbook (like a mini laptop) we choose is the Acer One 10 inch with 6 cell battery. It has a 7 hour battery life so the netbooks only half to be charged once a day.
I will be giving feedback on this project on this blog as it gets going.
Does anyone else have similar experiences with portable computer labs ???? I like to here about it.
