  1. How much is the directprint ? Their website says £8840.00 /year for 2000 users.
  2. Prowise Touchscreen Ten. We previously used BenQ and iiyama, nothing wrong with them but Prowise just offers more features. Here are some highlights: - 2.1 speakers (2 speakers + 1 subwoofer) - USB-C with 100W power delivery and DP 1.2, audio, touch, support (no need for docking station, just USB-C to laptop connection) - 40 touchpoints - HDMI 2.1 (CEC, ARC, HDCP 2.3) - easy large buttons at the front of the TV for teachers to use - built in Wifi 6 and screen casting (Miracast, AirPlay and Chromecast) - 7-year free warranty What I like the most is easy management with their web based screen control website, where you can configure settings for all the TVs. They also update their firmware quite regularly - https://www.prowise.com/en/news-events/new-prowise-central-6-1/
  3. Since you are working with Google why not to use this: https://remotedesktop.google.com/access/
  4. We previously utilized BenQ and Iiyama displays, we recently transitioned to Prowise Touch Screens, which have significantly exceeded our expectations.The Prowise TVs offer a lot of features: 100W USB-C port with display support located at the back of the TV (our last BENQ model had this at the front which was useless), integrated Wi-Fi, Apple, Chromecast and Miracast screen casting, as well as a built-in subwoofer. The TV feels faster, offers a lot of apps (we don't use them) and frequent system updates. They also come with free web based management where you can lock and control all the TVs options or update the TVs. The cost is similar to other brands, the only downside is expensive pallet delivery.
  5. We used ChromeFlexOS at many schools mainly to extend the lifetime of older Windows laptops. The system just works, it's quick to install and it's easy to manage. As someone already mentioned, check if the device is on the list, but the list is also out of date so it's worth testing one device if the sound, touchpad , wifi and other obvious things work. This approach is good if budget is tight.
  6. What's the schema version? Here is how to check: Get-ADObject (Get-ADRootDSE).schemaNamingContext -Property objectVersion If lower than 88 Run Adprep /ForestPrep More here: https://www.prajwaldesai.com/upgrade-domain-controller-server-2019-2022/
  7. Hej Gemini summarise this message for me: The email is a personal reflection by a long-time IT professional in the education sector. The author shares their experience of a near-fatal heart attack, highlighting the importance of work-life balance and self-care. They emphasize the interconnectedness of the education tech community and the need to support each other, even in difficult times. The email concludes with a message of hope and recovery, encouraging others to prioritize their well-being.
  8. +1 Unifi Enterprise
  9. I just want to say thank you. The Flir C5 arrived today and it just works on Windows and Chromebooks. No driver needed.
  10. Thanks. Will go with this one as it comes with a screen. Thanks for testing this.
  11. If you open a camera app on the laptop and plugin this device can you see the video there ? There should be a toggle camera option to toggle between webcam and Flir
  12. Amazing, thank you. Will order one camera from InfiRay.
  13. We are looking for a thermal imaging camera that can be just plugged in to Windows or Chromebook and will work as a webcam without the need to install drivers. Our science bought TOPDON TC004 but this required drivers and they just don't work. I've bought FLIR TG275 assuming that the premium brand will just work, but this one just charges up when connected to a laptop. Our budget is up to £1k. Our science department just needs something that can be viewed on Windows / Chromebook Camera app so it them can be displayed on the TV.
  14. With the Adobe user license you get a shared storage that can be assigned to users. All the work is saved in Adobe cloud and you can create storage quota for your users. As for the loss functionality - this is what I don't know. One of our teachers claims that the web product is not good enough, but doesn't want to say what exactly is missing, or what part of the lessons plan can't be delivered.
  15. My suggestion is to also go with the framework. How is the reliability and support for RISO devices?
  16. Thanks for this I've checked this page earlier. There is not much info there or a table comparison between the desktop and the web Photoshop version. They just keep repeating "Photoshop on the web has a streamlined online interface with an updated user interface, features and tools grouped in a condensed way to aid you find them faster."
  17. We received a quotation from Academia for around 1000 users and the license also includes Photoshop for the web. I've trialled Photoshop on web for 3 months and this just worked fine. A few filters were missing, the interface was different. Is there a specific curriculum guidance that IT / Photography teachers needs to follow in secondary school that would exclude using Photoshop on the web ?
  18. Our school is planning to order Photoshop for web. The idea is simple - we would like our pupils to access Photoshop at home on any device. This is a question for educators. Can Photoshop for web deliver all curriculum planning / lessons or the web functionality is too limited and Photoshop for desktop is required. I'm aware that with Photoshop license you get both web an desktop platforms, but the interface looks completely different in Photoshop for web and we are not sure about functionality
  19. Option 1 Central: 1 x IT Director 1 x Deputy IT Director (to cover IT Director absence) 1 x Senior IT Technician 2 x IT Technicians (to cover primary) Secondary Schools 2 x IT Technicians per secondary school Option 2 Central: 1 x IT Director 1 x Senior IT Technician 2 x IT Technicians (to cover primary) Secondary Schools 1 x IT Manager per school 1 x IT Technician per school
  20. LOL £1000 - One off payment Make it £1000 per school that will benefit with this solution.
  21. Thanks for the help.
  22. Does anyone know how to implement MFA on Google so it only asks for two steps if the user is outside of the UK ?
  23. "Additionally there is a specific exception in the legislation which enables schools to charge for materials where the pupil’s parent wishes them to own the materials" The same link: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5af99c8ae5274a25e78bbe30/Charging_for_school_activities.pdf If parents don't want to contribute the school needs to issue a device for them to use during the school hours. This applies to hardware, not license so in this case it's not legal to charge parents the license fee as they can't "take the license with them"
  24. Most of the 1:1 schools I've talked to are either: Asking parents to order their own Chromebooks and ask them to cover the management costs - like in this threat. Asking parents to pay for everything - usually a one-off payment between £250 - £375 Paying for everything just to find out that few years later they can't afford it. No. 1 creates an equality problem (pupils using different devices). Parents still need to pay for devices and management. There is an issue that parents' own device is managed by the school so Timmy can't watch Netflix at home on the device that parents paid for. No. 2 is just wrong. No. 3 - Most of the schools don't take the damages into consideration and they struggle to repair the Chromebooks damages. I've seen so many Chromebooks graveyards where the screen replacement screen cost almost as much as a new device.
