102. 1) 1:1 Wifi Connectivity in the Classroom
Outcomes / Lessons Learnt
1.Simple / Performing Technology Costs
2.As device count increased so must your investment in wireless
3.It won’t all work 100% day one - perseverance
4.When things go wrong the impact is larger – have the right support
5.Everyone blames the wireless first (go POE)

103. 2) Linking Schools
Outcomes / Lessons Learnt
1.Sharing resources is easy if you link schools
2.Standardise on providers to reduce complexity and cost
3.Clustered schools need less internet connections
4.Clustered schools can share support

104. 3) Connect From Home
Outcomes / Lessons Learnt
1.Performance and simplicity will cost
2.RF Planning is not an exact science
3.Plan security carefully
4.Management and Monitoring is important
5.Don’t install on houses
