6 teachers including the Head teacher and my line manager

re-imaging two banks of laptops for sci and english, and other little bits of jobs that i never have time for during term time.

clean-shaven, if it gets to long my 3 year old daugther tells me i need to shave my moustache!!!!

we did this at my pervious school, it a was monthly ICT bulletin that went out with the normal staff briefing and it went down really well with staff who could see what we were doing, developments, info and that sort of thing. I would like to start it here but with only two of us haven’t enough time.

Cheese and Ham toasty done in one of them toasty bags you just pop in the toaster, amazing.

Bar for ICT dept and Heads of Year, depts have to pay for their own cartridges and paper, and even if they want a new printer they have to pay but it still doesn't stop them. Considering in a 12 month period we spent nearly 14k on cartridges across the whole school.

That’s what it mainly comes down to lack of planning one of the teachers that i car share with admitted this and also because of the convenience of having a printer right next to them. I have just introduced some print management software to manage and control printing and as you say to get people thinking about printing but it’s caused a really issue with staff.

In the school i work at the majority of staff are using their printers as glorified photocopiers, in part because they believe the photocopying charges for B&W and Colour are more than putting it through their department printers, i would like to know if fellow edugeeks are willing to share what their schools charge per A4 page for both B&W and Colour ours are currently 2p for B&W and 20p for Colour.

Godskitchen Trance Anthems at the mo, needed something a bit more upbeat. it was Phil Collins & Genesis this morning

Does anybody have experience of setting up VLANs on Dell power connect 5224 switchers which are used for directing network traffic for the virtual servers, its a long story but we are getting lots of issues with VLANs not being set up and me and my colleague don’t have both the experience and confidence to start playing and setting up the VLANs. Any help on this matter would be great.

Any Luck Vicki

Ok cheers for trying, wasn't sure if you had tried to ring as we've been off for the last two days. What about the camera quote any luck with that?

Haven't heard back from you.

Ok cheers, also i never heard back from you about the digital camera quote i sent you before xmas.

I need 2 16H Lapcabby in Orange and Lime Green i need a price ASAP as the original supplier came back with a 40 quid increase on each unit.

We've just had alto digital in looking at where they can save us money on printing, and i can only say that the account manager was great, done the survey come back in this week and give me the various options availble and the best thing i like wasn't pushy about making a decision.

is a form being sent out via email or do we contact TWC to put names down

its also because Serco doesn't go through LEAs, where as SIMS usual does and the buying power of a LEA is strong than an individual school.

NEC NP 305 EDU or NEC NP 310 EDU just the one at the mo.

The laptops with the issue were in the Science dept but nothing indicated any interference, its very handy having the Zone Director to monitor what is happening, and narrowing down potenial issues with W/L.

We have three sets of W/L laptops in school two are Dell and the thrid is HP of which i had nothing but problems connecting to the Ruckus W/L using experience gained in another school with the joys of W/L networks i put on all the lastest Windows updates, the lastest W/L drivers for the laptops and finally static IP addressed all the HP laptops as well as updating the Ruckus W/L to the lastest firmware. This now seems to have addressed the issue and i have had no problems since.

Anyone else having an issue with email today, certain users are having issues with it crashing out or just freezing. Checked everthing at our end and all seem fine.
