I would get an Asus Eee PC. From what I've heard it's a great netbook.

fair enough. what's the price range you're working with? If there were a laptop available in your price range, would you jump on it?
I'll look around for you, but a number to start out with would help too.
There are surely power outlets available somewhere in your classrooms... I went to HS in the middle of nowhere NC and we had power. Running water and sewage systems is a different story altogether.
...and if you have the VP permission, I'd think you'd be able to plug in wherever/whenever.

picky much? dude, we're planning on helping you pick something out... how often have you seen folks on here just toss out random brand names. If you're gonna ask for help on here, take the recommendations and roll with 'em. Don't turn around and scold those that may not give you the exact information that you want, in the format that you want it, when you want it.
Now that you've finally given us a range, give us OCN'rs a minute or two to look around for deals that fit your criteria.
by the way, saying "cheap" didn't help us out either.

I bought myself the basest of base model Acer Aspire One (1.6 Atom, 512RAM, 8Gig SSD..).. And out of the box it was fine, if a little limited.
The keyboard is great, springy and non-mushy.. Size is bearable, double row enter key on mine too which is a plus. Not sure if that's on the US version though.
Screen is bright and crisp. Battery when on the original Linpus OS was a good 3/3.5 hours. I've since been through a few OS's though, and have come to like eeebuntu on it the best, far and away better than Linpus. Easy enough to do, even for a total know-nothing. Battery time drops with the new OS though, i'm down to 2 and a bit hours with everything on.. wireless, bright screen, bit of music etc..
Anyways, AAO's are great, if you ask me. AND, they're soon to release the new 10" model, so you may be able to pick up an 8.9" version for a bit cheaper than usual.
