I'd love to have kept our suites, but the decision wasn't mine.

We decommissioned ours, moved the pc's into classrooms. DCF is taught but I see no real ICT teaching happening. Seems space is a premium and the room was better utilised as a classroom.

Currently watching the Goosebumps series on Disney+ with my daughter(11). It's kept us both entertained tbf.

Ah that's interesting. Our LA had gone quiet and not got me to remove the current install and I hadn't pushed the issue by installing new cameras. Now you've posted this I'll get the HT on it.

Just finished the Red Rising trilogy by Pierce Brown, a good read, somonewhat predictable at times but nothing that deters from the enjoyment.

Just to weigh in, I've a few Ryobi items, drills, a strimmer, hedgecutter. All from the Ryobi one+ range. You will need 5ah batteries for the gardening kit. Although I have bought some 3rd party batteries from ebay and they work just fine.

As per title. We are going over to Sims Connected after Christmas, our LA currently host Sims but are pushing everyone over to Connected. We have a number of 3rd party links, some via Wonde and some via software running on a Sims server as a connector. Does sims connected support 3rd party integrations? Any caveat? Thanks Si

Am I correct in assuming this is for England based schools only?

Dahua are a Chinese based company.

To try and answer some qestions. Our LA provide our network/VOIP/internet infrastrucure, therefore can dictate at a security level what devices are and aren't allowed. I have officially been told via phone call that as UK Gov are removing anf banning hikvision from gov buildings, the decision has been made at LA level to follow suit and as there is a security risk devices will not be allowed to connect to LA provided networks. We currently VLAN our cctv but even this isn't enough. Moving to a dedicated ISP would put the rist firmly at the HT door and he would be asked to take on the possible security risk. I'll look into the suggestions for other kit, thanks.

Yeah banned * Edited origianl post for spelling

Just been informed by our LA team that hikvision devices will be banned from LA networks including schools. They gave us 2 options, Get a seperate network/isp installed just for cctv or replace the 12 cameras and an NVR. Can't find anything around the £100 a camera price for the same model/quality hikvision kit. Anyone using good cctv kit that doesn't cost the earth? Cheers Si

We've signed up directly with Mosyle, why do you need a reseller ?

I run long, it's the only time I have to myself and the only thing i'm 100% selfish about.

Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves - I have no idea how rotten tomatoes has given it 91%, it was OK.

It's just the path that Apple seems to send you down, Reboot idevice, log of and into problem app, reinstall app if possible and or reset netork settings.

Tried resetting network settings?

Enjoying "The Rabbit Hole" on Paramount+

We use it soley with parents, works well here for comms. The parents evening booking is good too. Great value for money compared to other services. As has been mentioned, a bit of housekeeping in Sims and it just works!

120yr old 3bed end terrace, cosing me £500pm in dual fuel currently.

Done, thanks.

“ May The Schwartz Be With You.”

Now that's an oldie!! "They Live"

Long story short, Welsh Government provide intune FOC to schools to manage devices, until this last batch of ipads I've always used Mosyle Manager. But with cost saving in mind I thought I'd just use the free option provided to us, WHAT A MISTAKE! Intune is probably the worse software I've ever come across to manage iPads, my own fault assuming someone with some sense would have tested the suitability of intune as a mdm for schools. Anyway, can I remove the ipads from intune and add them to Mosyle ? Anyone tried, any caveats ? Cheers Si
