1:1 Implementation - Additional costs

All,

We are looking at implementing a 1:1 tablet for roll-out in 2009-2010. We
are being asked by our head of school for the total cost of implementation
for the program.

We can easily calculate the costs of the systems and increased need for
printing, etc. Could those of you who have rolled out such a program include
an approximate cost for the following supplementary items:

- additional software licensing
- Cost of electronic textbooks
- Additional network support
- Additional professional development support for both faculty and
students
- Costs of spares (tablets and batteries)

Please feel free to add anything else to the list that we are missing.
