There's a lot of buzz these days about netbooks. They enable connectivity and collaboration. They are less controversial than smartphones. They can come pre-loaded with digital textbooks and other content. Small, lightweight, and "cool;" they might eliminate the 80 lb backpack. (There's nothing sadder than a first grader with a bad back!)

But how are they different from the thin client of yore? What role can they play in distance learning programs or emergency / learning continuity? Are they really as "green" as people say? What are the options in terms of equipment and applications? Will they save schools money? And why now?
