[Year 12 IT Apps] RE: Google docs issue

[Robert]

Thanks Ros.

The curriculum, the education and needs of the students are paramount.

There may well be some things we "cannot do" on a school network. But the whole technical "tail" needs to put its best efforts into supporting the curriculum and make sure that the dog wags the tail.

  Once again a case of the tail (ie the techs) wagging the dog (ie the curriculum)!!

  There is NO sound reason why you can't have firefox and google images, sometimes I wonder if it is just plain laziness, lack of ability or just a hunger for power on the part of techs.

We have some issues with google docs as well. Google images are blocked at our school so this presents problems with the appearance of google 
docs. I also want firefox on our computer network but was told we cant have it. We are supposed to be a leading 21st century school!!! I love using 
google docs and use them extensively both with staff and schools in other countries etc. Means it is difficult to use them with my students. It is most 
annoying.
