.... 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 TIME
