NETBOOK PROVIDER 2010

AIM FOR PROJECT

We are seeking to extend our one to one netbook provision for a further 140 students
in 2009.
This is an expansion of an existing pilot that has taken place in 2008.
The netbook partnership chosen will provide students a personal netbook for their
final two
years at our school. It is likely that each senior year group will have such a netbook in
the future, ie.
140 per annum at this stage. Considering other unit purchases for school outside of
the 1:1 programme total netbooks for
2010 may have an additional 50 units, therefore a total of 190 netbooks
