We are a K-8 school. We moved to all laptops this year. We have a laptop
cart for K-1, 2-3, 4, 5, and three in our middle school. I would be glad to
give you any insights into using laptops in the K-5 classroom.

Subject: lower school laptops

Good morning everyone,

Next year, we are eliminating our lower school computer lab and are moving
toward a laptop cart for each grade (1-5). We currently are in the process
of getting hardware and software quotes as well as working with our teachers
to get lessons mapped out that tie into our curriculum.

To help answer some questions that we have, we're looking for any schools
which already use laptops in their lower school who would be willing to talk
to me and our lower school computer teacher/integrator about what works and
what doesn't work in this environment. I know that all schools are different
and what works in one might not work in another, but I'm trying to get our
LS comp teacher as much information as possible to help easy any worries
and/or concerns.

Thanks for your time

Phil
