Mitch,
Questions for you to consider are: Who will really be using the
mobile lab in the high school? What laptops will you put in the
mobile lab? How will the mobile lab be scheduled?
As I shared in my previous response, we have two mobile labs in the
elementary with ibooks. These were from grants that I received.
They are primarily in the second grade classrooms as those teachers
have shown their use of them.
We have had a mobile lab in the junior high with ibooks but they did
not hold up well with the student use. This also was from a grant.
They were used for keyboarding because of a lack of regular lab
time. That has been changed.
Just need to consider where, why and how a mobile lab is used before
moving in that direction.
Hope this helps. Can't say what you should do, each situation can be
different.

Who out there has laptop carts, or mobile labs. We are looking at
getting one of them. Our high school principal is wanting one but
we have a lot of problems with our wireless network working so I
want to stay away from them. I would rather have a couple new labs
of terminal services like we have now but using terminal clients
and not old computers. Could you guys please give me input of what
you think. Any questions just ask and I'll respond asap.
Thanks
