"Mobile Computing?"

Our urban, private school (PK-12 -- 640 students) recently spent a day
discussing our technology vision amongst the technology department
members. The result is moving in the direction of netbooks as the
primary device for students. Our goal would be to have enough netbooks
to support at least one third (1/3) of the student body at any given
moment. We would move away from traditional desktop equipped labs in
favor of using the "tool" (netbook) wherever it is needed.

1. Anyone using this model and what are the successes and
challenges?

2. Anyone seriously considering this direction?

Would love to open up a dialog with someone in either of the above
situations.
