Remember when we told you about the repackaged Dell Latitude 2100 which was slated to be released just in time for the opening of the new school year in the U.S.? Well, it looks like this Dell netbook has found its true calling and has gained significant ground in the U.S. Education Sector.
According to official Dell Press Release:
  • More than 500 U.S. School Districts Sign Up Fast for Latitude 2100
  • Schools districts across the U.S. investing in classroom technology like Latitude 2100; American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds being leveraged
  • Schools provide students with 21st century skills and a window to the world of knowledge beyond the classroom
  • Dell to showcase K12 education portfolio at the National Educational Computing Conference this week in Washington, DC

And here are some quotes from U.S. Educators regarding Dell Latitude 2100’s entry into their educational programs:


“We think classroom technology is key to students achievement and a wise use of ARRA funds intended to develop “connected classrooms” that can help children with a variety of educational needs. Technology like the Latitude 2100, with its small form factor, powerful performance, yet low cost, makes it particularly effective for classroom implementations. This laptop is a critical element in assuring that our students are provided a meaningful engaged learning environment.” – Dr. Sheryl Abshire, Chief Technology Officer, Calcasieu Parish, Lousiana, Lake Charles, LA.

“We were looking for a system that is robust enough to survive the K12 environment yet affordable and practical enough to rollout in large numbers. I also liked knowing that we had Dell’s engineering team behind us for support.” – Jerry Pile, Chief Information Officer, Meade County Schools, Brandenburg, KY
