Netbooks, a new concept in computing, are designed for 21st century learners. Some
companies are designing netbooks especially for education either to complement the
larger, full-function notebook PCs, or as entry-level notebooks that allow teachers and
students to perform basic computing functions and online activities. They can utilize
applications, storage, and any necessary functions through the web. For example,
students can search with Google, write blogs with WordPress, join wikis on wikispaces,
and perform other tasks with the countless applications available online on their
netbooks.
