Future plans for school IT?

Encryption, nice one I hadn't put that down. Now anyone any suggestions how this can be controlled. At the moment our SMT have encrypted usb sticks that are passworded, but are there tools to control all usb sticks out there?

 

I'm up for banning USB and enforcing the use of the VLE and/or Google Docs

I think that would be a bit hard to police, wouldn't it?

Yes and no. Banning USB drives is easy enough, I imagine the challenge lies in ensuring that people start using the VLE rather than just emailing files to and fro.
