<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">We are planning a new wing at St Joseph's Geelong. It will include some classrooms, an IT Admin Centre, Science labs and IT labs.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Our ICT Planning Committee is wanting to garner ideas for a technical setup that models best design and provides smart, efficient and effective integration of technology throughout the building.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">We are unlikely, in the next 5 years, to ask students to provide their own laptops but I am looking for a design that provides immediate computer access within classrooms in unobtrusive, secure and tamper-resistant ways. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I do not want the technology to be in the way when not required but it should be rapidly deployed to all students within a minute of being required.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I am keen to hear suggestions (websites, printed material, personal ideas and experiences) and even keener to view any recently developed buildings, desktop designs, wireless solutions, integrated classrooms, etc.</FONT></P>
