laptop batteries vs plugging into power outlets

Power and laptops are a big concern. And the state of our wireless network makes us a little nervous too though we are told it has been upgraded this summer.

With concrete floors, our option is drilling trenches and putting in the wireing OR installing a raised floor. We've seen one which is 2.5" high. We could have plugs and internet connections wherever we wanted them. [no cost info for either yet]

What do you think about the battery life problem?

Any experience successfully supplying power or plugin network access in an existing teaching space?

thanks, Anne
