Hi thought I would seek GZ members thoughts on this subject as it now seems to have raised its head in mainstream media.
Our kids attend a high school where netbooks (not ipads) are required and is part of the stationary list, and has been for year 9/10s for 2yrs already. They are used extensively in class, all school activities are based around Google Docs with Google apps supplying pretty much all the cloud service for the school and it seems to work very well.
In our case the school prefer XP/Win7 netbooks, our kids just have cheap and chearfull Acer/emachines naturally the school prefer machines with 6cell batteries to keep them going for the school day.
Anyway thoughts on this matter?
