We have a 50 Mb per week cap for students and 100 Mb for staff, we also charge 5 cents per MB. Heavily subsidized of course but it seems to do the trick to encourage reasonable usage. I can manually reset the cap on request or set higher limits for our principal, media teachers etc. No charge, they just have to make a time to see me when convenient. We also have some guidelines with cues about sensible usage to save money. Librarian can help out with sudden burning, urgent Internet access needs that absolutely must be provided once the cap is reached.

Hi all,<br><br>thanks to everyone who responded to my enquiries about work experience. You are treasures. I am going to ask for your help again.<br><br>Does anyone have a copy of their Student Satisfaction survey that they could send us here so that we can see what other schools are doing and we can use to improve our own?
<br><br>Secondly, at the moment we have an open slather internet policy and some kids are downl;oading excessive amounts. We are currently considering limiting monthly downloads to 40 MB. Is this too much? What are the limits at your school? Do you charge students who exceed their limits?
<br><br>Thanks again for help<br><br>Regards<br><br>JIm<br>_______________________________________________<br><a href="http://www.edulists.com.au">http://www.edulists.com.au</a> - FAQ, resources, subscribe, unsubscribe<br>
