Using small electronic devices is becoming common in many schools. I teach an online professional development course through the University of Wisconsin-Stout <a href="http://www.uwstout.edu/soe/profdev/handhelds/">"Learning Applications for the iPod and Handheld Computers"</a>. There have been a great many early elementary teachers take the course and have developed extremely creative class projects. Their ideas of incorporating smaller devices into the curriculum seems to be unlimited.<br />

I agree that the keyboard is small for an adult. I found myself repeatedly typing the wrong keys and finally starting typing with two fingers to overcome my frustration with having to constantly make corrections. Since I'm not targeting it at adults, I'm not going to let this adversely affect my opinion of this product. I hope to test it out with some students soon.

I purchased an Asus eee PC. At a monthly meeting of a tech group my school district has joined, someone passed around a Classmate PC notebook from Intel. With its built in handle, it reminded me of Apple's ClamShell which is what we are currently still using in most of our elementary schools. It looked much more rugged than the Asus. They mentioned that it cost around $500 which was around $150 more than what we paid for the Asus Surf model. I did have a problem getting WPA wireless to work,…

I teach fourth grade and received a Jennings Grant to purchase new laptops for my class next year to implement several 2.0 applications in class.<br />
<br />
Many people I talk to are raving about the Asus EEE Pc 4G. With my grant I should be able to purchase about 6-7 of these machines for my room.<br />
<br />
I have played with one once. The keyboard is a bit smaller, but for what we are going to use them for, I think they are wise and economical.

I have two XO's from OLPC- the kids love them- If only I could get flash to work. The lower price does men putting more laptops in the hands of kids
