All our staff have laptops. Office based staff have usb c monitors which gives them option for keyboard mouse etc. Class room teachers just use laptops, only had a handful request monitor, keyboard mouse etc.

Sophos was blocking it for us. We had to add it to a https exception.

We’re using SSL redirect to login page. Won’t show whitelisted etc but that’s pretty much bbc etc

Just a bit of an update. Smoothwall taken a look, appears to be an issue with Sophos web control. Turning web control off and chrome works perfectly. Only a handful of clients with this and they are using edge for the time being as I’m not comfortable turning it off.

We’ve seen this pop up on a couple of devices today, suspect it’s to do with ssl intercept on our smoothwall. Got a ticket open with sw see what they can do. Again using edge as a work around.

EduLink One. You can send it directly but we just leave it in linked documents and let parents know.

Once had a policy get to governor level before anyone had noticed I’d forbidden country and western on Thursday afternoon. They agreed but just queried why Thursday afternoons…. Just demonstrates how pointless they are.

Are you using Sophos at all? Sophos has a issue with Speedtests. I’d be tempted to cli version of Speedtest to check results. https://www.speedtest.net/apps/cli

We’re using google translate on an iPad. When I issued and demoed it to the student the reaction was remarkable. Took a picture of some worksheet and translated it. Face was priceless. Guidance I was given was to leave the iPad in English to try and encourage the student to learn the language. Hope that helps.

Not available for Educational use last time I checked but won’t be long, https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/information/pdns#section_3

Can LTSC 2019 be upgraded via WSUS to 2021?

Our Staff/Students use AD credentials, parents use accounts generated in the backend of Edulink. I normally filter the accounts in the backend to parents with email addresses that have never logged in. You can click the mail icon that will send them all logins. You can customise the welcome email, We've added bits in asking to use the update information feature for example. Most of our parents are fairly onboard with us. We get maybe a dozen or so password resets when it comes to parents evenings. Students are instructed how to login as part of the first ICT lesson, for the most part once you've sent them the details thats about it. Rob
