Let the thoughts flow…..

It has been a while…. There have been many reasons for my lack of writing, both personal and professional, but that yearning is returning.

We are in the process of completing our Round 2 application for the National Secondary School Computer Fund. We’ve crunched the numbers and have calculated that we will be offered 41 Computers. Now all we need to do is work out where they will all go, and how to connect them in to our existing network, and the list goes on.

So do we:

• Laptops or Desktops?
• Build new Labs (a 20 & 21, 2x 15’s and an 11 etc.) in our existing 4 GLA classrooms?
• Wireless of Copper LAN?
• How does our existing Infrastructure fit?
• Professional Development, how do we squeeze this in?

Add to this our plans for going full steam ahead in our 1:1 rollout for Stage 3 in Middle School for 2009.

It becomes very obvious that we’ve got a lot to think through.
