Editor's Notes
- #9: Who are we?Kingsbridge – rural Devon1350 studentsHistorically low access. 5 google earth machines entire bandwidthNetwork:Massive infrastructure improvements over the last 5 years.Whole site was re-cabled with 10GB fibreVirtualised servers all internal split between 2 sites1 wireless access point per classroomMobile Devices:Laptop trolleys then move to netbooksiPad trial 30 ipads – not for usWeren’t able to have a one size fits all solutionBUT – firm belief in the power of ICT to enhance T&L so went for a custom approach
- #10: Each department bid for these. In addition have 4 x33 PC desktops in suitesNo desktops in classrooms, 1 laptop per teacherCustom approach takes account of willingness of staff, skill and ability. Not going down the 1-2-1 approach
