A further idea you could do is get the pupils to recreate the school in Minecraft - been done before

I am using MinecraftEdu as well within school - we don't use any specific maps yet as I generally expect pupils to build up from within a new map.

any teachers evaluate it?

Hi, Im researching physical security options for nettops as we are evaluating them as a potential upgrade path for some of our desktops. However due to the size of the things both myself and our bursar are obviously very concerned about a pupil being able to rapidly disconnect one and stick it in their bags. We will be looking at nettops which could be attached to the back of a monitor although depending on the connection method to the monitor this still could remain unsafe. If we go with nettops which are standalone then our security issues mount up. A couple of questions to anyone who could help has anyone had any experience of securing nettops would laptop style security be adaptable to use with nettops? are there any vendors out there who sell nettop security systems and can do them in bulk? thanks Brian

It may very well be helpful as these are issues which may pop up in the interview I sense though a slight bit of controversy on this topic !

I have noted the existence of a CC4 network. Clearly this school may have room to 'upgrade' many thanks!

Norphy - fantastic - thank you very much I wont be managing it directly but the position may involve oversight of network operations Will be interesting to see what it is actually like in practice

I am an ICT teacher going for a job at a school where the network is an RM CC3 network. As I have successfully managed to avoid working at an RM school so far in my career I have no prior experience of this type of network. RM itself have next to no information on it on their site and all I can glean from Google is that it is a style of network which is implemented where there isnt a dedicated network technician. Would appreciate any assistance on this!

Im interested in rolling this out at my school but first will need to convince SMT. Therefore would like to see if any other schools are using it and if you have any comments on its usage? thanks brian Education 2.0 - Edmodo - Free Private Social Platform For Education

to be honest i think this is a case for the men in white coats - either that or there really are james bond villians

if you are looking for quick and easy ones to setup (but with some limitations due to being free services) i would recommend either http://www.surveymonkey.com or http://www.formsite.com neither are useful for longterm solutions really (probably surveymonkey would do if you pony up for a paid membership) but they do in a pinch

i know im coming to this thread a little late but i am interested in what has been the reaction of the staff at school to moving to services like live@edu or google apps. has the end result justified the move?

whereas google goes for the perky yet rather dry american accents on theirs *snore*

ive heard rumours of schools buying them for things like PE lessons. Not sure why you would use them - and a good quality netbook would probably do the same job if not better (and have more software available for it)
