I expect the real financial impact will be seen in next years budgets once the government realises it has to pay for the furlough scheme and that financial cost echos its way down to councils and then schools.

I'm having a moment I can't for the life of see HyperV on my VLSC can anyone point me in the right direction please

Finished Picard last night and I totally agree with @ICTDirect_Dave, well worth the watch

I'm looking to take advantage of the current situation and migrate a lot of our fileshares into google whilst all the bandwidth is mine alone. Can anyone recommend me a product that will allow me to be selective when choosing what to upload, or alternatively mass copy certain network shares up. I looked at filezilla pro but our LA have got all the ports locked down.

@ICTDirect_Dave I think you may have a mistake on your webpage, you are of course welcome to sell it me at that price

Glad they clarified that as that same page didn't have that on earlier it just mentioned teaching staff

Is doing this type of thing not just replacing your pupils with your staffs children, in a way defeating the object of closing in the first place ?

During the current madness we are about to enable Meet for our pupils. Could anyone advise me how I make it so pupils cannot initiate group meets and only join ones created by staff Thanks in advance

So out of curiosity what kind of cost does VMware run a school, I can see general pricing but do they offer edu discounts?

I've been asked to source 10 ipads for our SEN pupils, this will be our first foray into the apple world. Can anyone recommend me a supplier in the North West that can both provide the devices and set them up? My time at this school is limited and I'd like a fire and forget solution. Thanks

My plan is similar to @AButters - what size school / how many devices are you using that floods a 100MB pipe ? As this is my worry as well

speak to @ICTDirect_Dave He'll sort you a refurb with a warranty and a smile

@ICTDirect_Dave What sort of storage? at that price I'm guessing its not SSD

I've binged Startup over the last few days https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5028002/ If you ignore some of the technical stuff its well worth a watch. IT meets gangsta, with some good plot twists.

Those of you using PDQ - is it the free or paid version ?

I've been asked by our SEN department to look for some educational APPS - be they app store or play store that would be useful for KS1 / KS2 SEN pupils, Maths Spelling and anything inbetweeen. Can anyone - especially if your SEN based recommend some early years stuff please

Voice for me. Used for a restructure process and was very happy with the support. Worth noting, make sure your LA recognises whoever you choose

Sorry about the thread resurrection, but looks like this is the best place to ask this. Can the collective share any Play Store APPS that are good for education. We just purchased a set of chromebooks and are looking for some maths / english game type APPS for primary pupils along with anything else you all find works well.

Just been given 45 SSD and 46 Old WIN7 Pro laptops and been asked to upgrade then. However when I swap the drive out and boot via DVD I dont see the SSD to install windows to. I'm sure its something to do with AHCI / IDE, if I switch to IDE I can install no problem. Is this the way I should be doing it or Should I be looking to use AHCI mode with additional drivers to enable me to see the SSD ?

Anyone know how I can print off / export the summary results from a google form without having to copy each chart individually into another document ? Seems like it should be a straightforward thing to do but for the life of me I can't figure it out

A simple google form ?

This is something I'm looking to complete over the summer, we currently use GDrive for all our pictures and videos. WHat I could do with is a reliable tool to copy over all the staff drivesinitally

I wouldn't mind this information also, seems like a good deal if the connectivity is competitively priced

My search foo is broken today, I'm sure somewhere on here I've download printable signs for when computers are broken / being repaired to warn people not to use them. I can't for the life of me find them. Can anyone point me in the right direction or supply me with a link to download signs that say 'Under maintenance' 'Broken do not use' etc Ta
