The need to prepare children for 21st century lifestyles, combined with hundreds of new educational tools that can be found online, and a growing emphasis on student centred learning are three of the biggest contributing factors to the rising use of Net book technology in schools.

Net books offer several distinct advantages in educational settings. First, their compact size and weight make for an easy fit in student work areas. Similarly, the small size makes Net books easier to transport than heavier, larger sized traditional laptops. In addition, prices ranging from $200-$600 dollars mean the affordability of Net books can be a relief to school budget makers.

Despite the small size and price, Net books are fully capable of accomplishing most school-related tasks, including word processing, power point presentations, access to the Internet, multimedia playback, and photo management.

Net books come with their share of costs and management issues. Most schools invest in some type of security cart, where the computers can be securely stored when not in use, and plugged into to recharge all at once.

Recharging 30 or more computers at one time have the potential to overload electrical circuits, especially in older buildings. Having an electrician inspect the building's electrical infrastructure is advisable. The wireless capability of Net books is one of its most attractive features, but only if the school has a bandwidth connection capable of supporting 30 wireless Internet connections.

With the limited storage capabilities of Net books, an investment in a server or external database with a greater capacity for storing information may be needed. If printing is a necessity, look for one that connects with Net books either wirelessly, or via USB cable.

To maintain all this equipment, a successful Net book program needs to have a highly trained and proficient IT service professional. Being familiar with the network, building infrastructure, and operating system of the computers are all absolutely necessary.
