Your classrooms sound like luxury to me! I am in a rural area in New Zealand. One of my schools has two interactive whiteboards - 9 classrooms, so that's 7 without. My other two schools have none. A few classrooms have digital projectors. Most classrooms in the schools I work in have 3-5 computers, and teachers all have laptops. Most schools are networked to the office photocopier, and all students print to there. Schools in NZ generally have MS software provided to them. One school I started in 18 months ago had no computers at all at that time for student use and we have built that up to approx 45 since I started, including a mobile unit with 8 laptops. This includes 30 old PC's that were donated by a local secondary school who were upgrading; we threw an extra 500Mb memory in each of them (to give them a Gig) and most of them worked fine.

Yes, in the letters section. Well done!

Hi there Synack, I saw a mention of Edugeek in the latest NZ PC World magazine while I was browsing through it at the supermarket - quickly jotted down the URL on the bottom of my shopping list. :-)

Hi, I'm new here... I have a mainframe background (was an assembler programmer back in the 80's) and then an ICT teacher for various polytechs here and in the UK. Now living in the Coromandel I've somehow become the network/IT support person for 3+ schools. Mostly we are using SmartNet and Musac software. I am also in my third year of teacher training so I like to think I have an educationalist's view of IT! I teach IT to children two days a week too....
