Google Apps
Google Apps for Education - Many schools are deciding that, with the general improvement in broadband speeds and reliability, and with some investment in an effective WiFi network, the old idea of an in-house server network is out of the (virtual) window.
Cloud storage permutations, the inclusion of ‘learning platform’ apps, and free email and shared calendars, all come with Google Apps for Education. Add in collaborative editing of documents, spreadsheets and presentations and the fact that this is all part of the package is a wonder in itself.
Koala IT can provide advice and set up your school with an account that, as well as the email and storage options, can take the staff and pupils forward into a collaborative relationship based around the included Classroom app.
In addition, choosing Chromebook-type devices for students to use means that expenditure is maximised in terms of pupil devices, and management of these devices is all done centrally via the Google Admin portal.
