One of the topics in every plan is the budget. In my budget for next school year I have to consider a mobile lab for Middle School. I'm looking for small, childproof options. If there is someone who has used ITP-c option or others I would like to hear comments.
What software is installed?
How are those being used at your school?
How many do you have?
Advantages and disadvantages.
