How do I set up a network to a large group of students suing Android phones? I have a laptop - what else would I need?

Why? To distribute teaching materials. A need to put text, pictures or webpages in the hands of students

Who? 60 students. 60 android phones. Me. 6 different sets of students a week - roughly 300 students

What? A laptop. Some knowledge. Prepared to spend money on additional resources - a router or more software.

No current network in class. No IT support. Can not troubleshoot Android phones connection problems as too many students. Different flavours of Android on phones.

When? Set up at home, walk into classroom, fire it up.

Where ? Single room holding 60 students.

Enough information for you? Suggest a solution. Or tell me it is impossible.

"what else would I need?". A statement of what the requirement is. If you have not written down, all of who, what, why, when, where, YOU WILL FAIL.

Update: Perfectly possible, even easy. Well, OK, not easy your first time (smile).

1. Install SLAMPP for dual boot on your laptop http://slampp.abangadek.com/info/

2. Insert webpages/files to be served into /var/www/htdocs

3. Carry a wifi router to the class, set it up so your laptop gets a fixed IP address. Boot to SLAMPP.

4. Tell students the SSID and pswd of the wifi. Leave their connecting problems to them to fix - you should only take responsibility for a standard setup. Anything non-standard is Their Problem.

5. Tell students your IP address (the one your laptop has on the wifi router). When they go to it, they will get served your home page from /var/www/htdocs

6. This setup does not provide internet access - tell students not to expect that.

For me, setting this up is less than two hours work, and uses only the laptop and the router, needs no support or permission from anyone else.
