Mobile Curriculum Computer Labs

KraZFoo writes "Apple has come up with an innovative idea: make a computer lab curriculum-specific, and mobile! Each lab comes with iBooks, a printer, and an AirPort base station. Depending on the curriculum, other components like digital cameras, video cameras, science equipment, specific software, etc. ..." There's nothing new about mobile labs, but I've not seen ones tailored to specific curriculums, and besides, this one is really cool.

  1. They are cool by MoneyT · · Score: 4, Informative

    Our local highschool ordered one of these things earlier this summer to experiment with it. It's pretty neat stuff, makes for gettting computers and equipment from one area to another very smooth. It's not much in the way of design, basicaly a file cabinet on wheels with doors on either side. IIRC, it has a single plug on the outside for plugging the whole unit into a wall to powwer the laptops and other equipment, and then outlets laid throughout the inside. All in all a very nifty toy.
