Number of Ubermix computers

<< < (2/2)

Cytochromec:
To reply to myself, we now have 400 Acer Aspire One 722 running Ubermix (as well as 90 eeePC). We are expected to order another 100-200 for this summer. Our current deployment scheme is 3rd grade 1:3 ratio, 4th and 5th 1:1, 6-12 all English classes

Penn Manor School District in Lancaster PA is planning a January 2014 1:1 high school deployment with 1700 Ubermix laptops. They will augment our existing base of 1600+ student laptops running standard Ubuntu 12.04. :)

Juan Pucheu:
Azul, Argentina
We deployed 30 netbooks in 2010. 20 Intel 1gen schoolmates (Atom, 512 Mb RAM, 8 Gb SSD) and 10 local clones (1 Gb RAM, and 160 gb HDD, same processor.)
72 children, aged 12-17. Most from rural communities around our city (Azul).
Our school is a private-public "experiment". Local county administration pays the bills, and a local NGO runs the school.
Private schools in Argentina are a little bit different than in the US. Argentina public education system was the envy of latin america, but years of social and economic decline resulted in a massive turnover of alumni from public to private institutions. My school tuition is less than 25 dollars, and average salary is 700 dollars.

Marker:
At Crossett Brook Middle School in Waterbury/Duxbury, Vermont, we have about 260 student computers, all but 6 (legacy XP for DragonDictate) using UberMix. We have added a lot of programs, including the Lock-Down Browser for the upcoming Smarter Balanced Assessment. (I don't think that many of the programs other than Firefox and Chrome have had much use yet).

There are:
  50 Asus netbooks
  25 HP netbooks
  65 HP notebooks (6465b, 6735b, nx6125)
  120 HP desktops (5100, 5850)
Students have been using Ubuntu for a couple of years. This is the first year in which we are using UberMix and have been doing so for only a month. However, it seems to be going fine.

We also use Ubuntu 12.04 on all content teacher notebooks, but are presently using gnome desktop 2, not UberMix.

We have deployed approximately 450, with another 750 this summer.
