This is pretty big news. Google Classroom has often been requested by both business and NFP users. Today it's been announced that it's available for all. More here. https://www.haptic-networks.com/google-classroom-now-available-g-suite-customers/

Derail away! This has been the brainchild of one of our hardware recycling partners and Google themselves. It works thus: You tell us which Ipads you have on site, and what grade they are in (we help with the clarification of these terms) then we tell you how much they're worth. You say "Wow, that's a lot for me ole fondleslabs me ole china plate!" (cockney accent isn't mandatory) then we offer you that as a credit to spend on shiny new chromebooks. It's about as simple as that really, it's a beauty of an initiative and I wish we'd come up with the idea. Any questions, drop us a PM Joe

Hi All As you'll all know (and perhaps even be bored of hearing by now) we've been G Suite Partners for quite some time now. Instead of keeping a focus on the tech/chromebook side of things we've always been more honed on the services side. From our ongoing Ipad buyback, to our parental contribution scheme all the way through to our raft of G Suite project and support offerings. We've recently refreshed them, cutting them from 6 down to 3. We felt the need to simplify and bring more of them together, here's how we did it

I feel the answer to this may be that as Neverware is installed, it requires a new license. I may be incorrect, it's not something we've encountered.

Really looking forward to this session today, we've been really impressed with Neverware.

The main issues around Chromecast connection is in relation to WPA2 Enterprise setups which are not supported.

Hi All (mods please feel free to move this if it's situated incorrectly) We're hosting a Tech roadshow on Friday 6th October at the Imperial War Museum, London. Pulling together presentations from iXSystems, Veeam, Smoothwall and Avocor as well as 'hands on' displays of Chromebooks, VR, Storage solutions amongst others. We currently have 20 seats left, it would be great to have some of the Edugeek community join us. Fear ye not, we're not pinning name badges on anyone.....it's not that type of affair. More of a smaller informal and interactive session to showcase some of the solutions we're working with. The event is entirely free, with lunch included. We're also giving away one of the brand new Lego UCS Millenium Falcon sets to a lucky attendee. Further details and instructions to register are on the link below, it would be good to see you there.
