There are many ways to implement a successful 1:1 laptop scheme, below is a list of areas to consider. Each school, college, educational establishment will have its own factors, special areas to consider, below is my list of things to consider.
After the list below, I have included a paragraph of information related to my own specific experience of implementing a very successful Apple Macbook Pro 1:1 scheme. It should also be noted that my school charges a
Holidays for IT support in education are usually full of server and system upgrades as the staff and students are not in and this enables us to take the system down. However at Christmas we get one or two days at the most. This is due to the bank holidays and IT support staff, heaven forbid, wanting to spend time with their families.
Take these few days to do the few little jobs that you have been meaning to get sorted. Below are some suggestions to help you on your way (of course I would n
First off, I want to say I have NO affiliation with Tapatalk, I am just a happy user of the service, and would like to notify the admins of this site (assuming this is a start, or someone can point them to this thread perhaps?).
I personally use this as an admin on a local VB forum, and as a user on another forum. When I signed up here, and saw it was a VB site, I looked to add it to my device, and it wasn't there. So I figured I'd make a post, and thought this would be the best place.

OK, so I heard a great quote on twitter a while back:
"In 5 years time, running an exchange server will be like running your own nuclear power plant to heat your home"
This sounds like a sensible statement to me and since we have an aging Exchange 2003 server I thought I would look into being an early adopter of their "Live@EDU" cloud based email system.
The benefits are clear:
- Virtually unlimited email storage (10gb or someth
We've had a XenServer running since last year, and have been impressed so much that we introduced another one this year and both hosts have some eight Windows based servers sitting on them.
I've got a small Linux server running on an old workstation that hosts the Xibo Signage System and also looks after LimeSurveys as well running on Ubuntu. My plan was to move this to another VM on the newer host as it has more than enough capacity.
It would seem that only certain distros of Linux are s

Well into controlled assessments now and gotta say my bespoke system detailed in this thread:

For the record it requires only ONE active directory account to function.
In practice, the whole thing is foolproof! and the only bother we get is teachers asking what the password is. When the
Last week I was doing my usual sift through recent Facebook status updates on a mobile app, in an effort to avoid X-Factor. After ignoring not only every group or fan page update (Please support this charity, dates for my next tour, etc) but also the mounting afore mentioned X-Factor posts of disgust at one Wagner, I realised that the only things most of my 273 ‘friends’ would post about were about their child’s latest toilet escapades, how great life was being to them, or self-demoting posts ai

I've just been browsign teh forumsand noticed a member from Canada with over 200 posts and another US user with 300+. I mean it's great that we have such global coverage and membership, but I'm a bit ashamed to admit that I've never noticed these people before, and they've been posting for ages!!
Mind you, if more of you North American members want to say hi at the ISTE 2011 show in Philly in June plese do. It's nice to put names to faces.

Been tasked with looking into implementing an internal VOIP phone system to link up some buildings that don't have phone lines installed.
Have been looking at things like 3CX and AsteriskNow (with Freepbx).
Have to say that I really do like the look of 3CX; windows based, really easy to setup and configure but its going to cost if we want to have more than 4 people talking at one. Also been told there is no money.
So, looking at AsteriskNOW, and its stretching my Linux knowledge abit b

Using Windows in Note Pad I typed out Java Script instructions for showing an alert box in a browser. It works. But when I copied the exact instructions and placed it in the Text Editor on my Mac Book Pro I cannot get Fire Fox to show the alert box, instead it opens the file. Here is the Java Script script:

<script type="text/javascript">
function show_alert()
{
alert("Hello! I am an alert box!");

I recently had a problem where we were running low on IP addresses. I looked in DHCP and had about 655 active leases over the last 7 days. Now I'm pretty sure I don't have that many devices in the entire school! It turns out that there were a large amount of IPhones and other unauthorized mobile devices attached to our wireless. I guess the kids managed to find out the wireless key again!
There are a number of solutions to this problem, the most obvious is to change our wireless key regu

There is a good analogy with vaccination programmes and also condom use vs abstinence around this topic.
Decent AV blocks generic attacks. I've seen a piece of malware slip though LGfL mail filter, past Symantec MSMSE into my mail store and onto my unpatched (we always run a few days behind the releases) clients, where it was identified by Sophos EndPoint Security as suspicious and blocked.

As some of you know, my profession as an IT Trainer currently tasks me with working with young people looking to start their IT career, from 16 at Foundation Learning level (the new government name for Entry to Employment, E2E) moving through modern apprenticeships in ICT. I thoroughly enjoy working with these individuals because it gives me not only the opportunity to impart my experience of the working world and ICT knowledge, but also gives me insight into just how much the world has moved on
In the days of Windows XP we used Impero V2 to monitor our network and ensure students were behaving appropriately in lessons. The console could be a hit or miss sometimes but it was quick and we could monitor workstations without a decrease in performance.
Fast forward to Windows 7 and Impero V3:
Ever since Impero V3 (Currently at version 3.0.53) has been running, we have noticed websites "sticking" when loading and our Frog VLE performing slowly. Infact it happens so consistantly that wh

Community enhance members to keep up to date on the latest with their business straight from the community, and pass that information along to other members. Communities have already started to use communities for self-learning.
Now Communities move to the next level. They are to become online colaboration-based coaching portals. People don’t just share information, they train each other.
