    In recent years a number of schools have trialled the use of notebook computers for students on a 1-to-1 basis. The intention of this webpage is to provide links to research that investigates the value of notebook computers in education and curriculum strategies that make best use of them in the learning process.

1:1 netbooks

  • At about half the price of laptop computers—most are in the $300 to $400 range—netbooks may be cost-effective, but the savings can be lost in their scaled-down features and limited computing power.
  • Netbooks are defined as laptop computers that are smaller than 10 inches across, have slower and less powerful processors, and limited memory, making them useful for little more than accessing the Internet. They have smaller screens and keyboards, and are not equipped with CD or DVD drives and other features included in most laptops or desktop computers.

      I don't agree with the statement about netbooks not having the power for PPT or spreadsheets. We bumped ours up to 2GB RAM and have had good experiences w/both apps, provided we don't have more than 2-3 apps running simultaneously. This performance is similar to our lab machines.

  • To be used successfully in the classroom, however, Wilson and others say that netbooks must be given the same kind of consideration as other technologies. Technical support, training for teachers and students, network capability, and curriculum are all still necessary investments whether using laptops, netbooks, or smaller, hand-held devices such as cellphones.
  • “With the onset of the netbook and the price-point difference [over laptops] and the movement in open-source courseware and cloud computing, ... they’ve made the distribution of netbooks a very exciting way to solve the problem at a cost less than laptops.”
  • The state is not discouraging districts from buying netbooks, Mao says, but he is advising school leaders to consider all of what they are getting, or not getting, for their money.
  • I guarantee that netbooks are completely sufficient for most internet applications, word-processing, and 99% of the spreadsheet tasks I do on a daily basis at my job! Yes, storage capacity is less in a netbook than in the average laptop, and laptops have optical drives where netbooks don't, and laptops have more powerful processors.
