Testing Our New Wireless Laptops...
Area 11, Year 4 have been testing our new wireless laptops this afternoon to check they are all working correctly. We had some issues with two of the twelve machines, but we are hoping to have these quickly sorted and back in regular use soon. The children share laptops and remaining students access the classroom desktop machines. The wireless access allows the students to use the computers within 40 or 50 metres of the base station access point, plugged into our network on the laptop trolley. A class could even go out and sit under the trees to do their computing activites. All classes can access these laptops for 2 one hour blocks a week as well as their 2 blocks in the computer lab. There are a huge number of things students can do across all learning areas on the laptops, so these machines will be well used...
