Attraction of 1:1 initiative using low cost laptop alternatives like Asus eepc. Cost: $350 per unit, and don't have licensing issues. Does note that more creative uses like arts suffer because of lack of capability and software.

The potential for assessment for learning is great, and already we have teachers gaining instant access to learners' responses through blogging and other miniBook capabilities".
