摘要:This paper briefly describes the growth of computer virtualization and some of the reasons for that growth. The paper takes a quick look at Microsoft Virtual PC as one example of virtualization software and then examines how the benefits of virtualization apply to the classroom and computer lab. The paper describes how virtualization can help reduce the cost of classroom computing while offering students and staff a wider range of options than may currently be possible. The paper also describes how virtualization can help with classroom support functions, compatibility issues and safe and secure computing.
