<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Paul, my school went 1-1 laptops back in the Rudd era <span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">
…</span> we had no choice about the labs going, but we<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">’</span>ve kept most of the infrastructure (power points, network outlets, etc.
<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">–</span> I can<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">’</span>t stress the value of having a room with 50 power points when you<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">’</span>re dealing with
laptop batteries). We lease our student machines rather than BYOD … having a better quality laptop has helped, though the business manager of course looks to cut the cost of leasing every rollout wherever possible. We still have our techs for any laptop or
network issues <span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">–</span> I<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">’</span>d say you actually need more techs as you<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">’</span>re running more machines.
Good luck convincing your business manager to spend the cash that was in the machines on a technician.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In terms of Software Development and the Year 11 unit, I haven<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">’</span>t had many problems with compatibility
<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">–</span> we<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">’</span>re not doing any heavy PhotoShop or video editing, but I found it easier to use older versions of VB (2010) for the programming side (less
demanding on the machine but not legacy software yet). We don<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">’</span>t run Informatics so I can<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">’</span>t comment there.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For authentication, I found it easier to run smaller tasks during Unit 3 Outcome 1
<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">–</span> if some of your tasks are in a double period for example, everyone has the same time. My students have to send work in progress regularly during a SAC
<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">–</span> this also acts as an extra backup in case their laptop gets stolen, wiped or other disaster (our students are meant to backup regularly, but we all know how often this actually happens). Most authentications
for the SAT include handing up a copy of what they<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">’</span>ve done for checking and backup purposes. You might also set up a network drive or LMS for storage of SAC and SAT materials; whatever your network techs
will allow (we have had disasters in the past where the kids have copied the contents of the share drive into a teacher<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">’</span>s drop folder).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="color:#212121"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="color:#212121">My school is looking at getting rid of our computer labs entirely in favour of a school wide student laptop program. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="color:#212121"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="color:#212121">I was wondering if anyone else has any experience in this, especially in terms of software compatibility issues and authentication of student SAC tasks. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="color:#212121"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="color:#212121">What should we be looking out for? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="color:#212121"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="color:#212121">and finally if anyone has any compelling arguments for not having any computer labs at all in a school, other than to save the school operating expenses money. Eg. Is there anything "Beyond the Balance Sheet"
to be gained by getting rid of all of the labs? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
