Teachers are now going to get new laptops. Millions of pounds to be spent replacing the old laptops. ?5.4 Million to be exact.

I havent tried it at home stephen, but it worked first time here. we are going to try pushing it out to a few more stations and see how it goes.

Zyber, its a total waste of money, sure the laptops we have already still dont work properly 8 years on. I can just imagine the bloatware that will come on these machines.

Talking about new machines, our prep got 5 new laptops, they are core i3 with 4GB Ram and they still struggle to startup and login in a reasonable time.

I don't like the use of the term 'mobile devices'.

If it is mobile devices then they will be no good to replace teacher machines for the simple reason they need SIMS.

One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.

I noticed last week mobileiron has popped up in the user groups assignment section. Could be windows surface.
