Computer Access .vs.
a Computer for each child

Limitations of desktop computers:
They are expensive.
Used computers have limited warranty.
They are not portable.
They consume lots of power.
Most of the time a computer is used for typing, reading, and editing
and therefore it is underutilized.
Computer labs are open only during school hours.
Computer labs are noisy and busy.
Kids are distracted by other applications on computers
instead of concentrating on their assignment.


With each computer, your school will require:
additional hardware and peripherals;
additional software (or extended licenses);
additional furniture and real-estate;
additional electrical wiring and outlets;
additional staff to maintain the computer lab;
additional time to bring the students to the lab;
additional insurance!

So, why not invest in a mobile lab comprising:
a cart, a computer, a printer and 30 CalcuScribes?

Wheel the mobile lab into the classrooms or
let the students take the laptops home,
to the library, or to field-trips.
