Hi Dave
I was advised by my predecessor to get GCSEPod when he moved onto his headship at a UTC, he was leading on IT/New Technologies and I took on this part of his role. I got it within 2 weeks of researching it and students and staff loved it! They give you a project manager who leads you through and ensures that you are totally supported, it was a pleasure to lead it and absolute minimum work involved for me as everything has been done for you (resources/training vids/reporting stats). It was such good value for money I bought it again in my next post and by then (2013) every student had a phone/access to wi fi so it was a great success! I'd say def needs to be lead by SLT though to get the best impact across the school as it is a whole school system!We were a google apps school and the sso etc has all been addressed so there are no issues with that now.
