RPi Education Version

[vinntec]

I have come across the mention of an education version of the RPi coming in the new year in several places in the RPi forums. Does anyone have any information about it? Is it just a standard RPi Model B with a case, or it is a Model A with a case? Or a Model C?
I am finalising the planning for my computer club and need to be sure I know what is coming up.

Model A [possibly]
in a case
there is no model c

The best bet is probably a Model A with a case.

Jamesh said elsewhere to a question I asked about this today

Fixes for polyfuse issue would be the main HW thing, then improved drivers for USB, plus any HW improvements highlighted on the forums - nothing that changes the functionality/capability.

- plus a case of course. I intend to run all mine headless via SSH and VNC (to save time setting up and taking down!) so a model A would not be an attractive proposition for me.

Educators would not be limited to Educator models there's nothing to stop them (if they can get funding and supply) buying model "B" RPi's and cases and running with those.

Hi Jim - yes I understand that and my current plan is to go with model B as I have been using at home for my experiments.

Keep us in the loop it's going to be good to hear how things go.
