Add a short presentation at the bottom of your "My Page" and perhaps also as a blog post. If somebody could come up with a logo or "Badge" for this network and ning, please post it here and we'll decide on the best suggestion.

How wide spread are the use of netbooks...

Are your schools ready for the shift or will they feel forced to follow the "trend"?
