<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Jeez I laugh when I hear a tech say something is “mandated” by the DEECD. Look at the “ultranet” fiasco – some schools didn’t touch it with a barge
pole (the sensible ones), other fell in line, yet the “ultranet” was ‘mandated’. Lol<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Reality is: schools decide for themselves: the tech savvy ones are well on the way to setting up their own SOEs and other needs; the bogan schools
follow a tech line for “mandated” use. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

A few of us will be trialling the new OS on our laptops over the holidays with a view to changing all staff laptops over during next year.
