So why have a network in school ?

1. Access to work

The facility for both staff and pupils to access their work from any computer - pupils are only allowed to access their own folders irrespective of where they log on, whereas a teacher can access their own work, as well as their pupils. This allows you to keep a record of their work and monitor their progress from any computer in school.

2. Record of a Pupil's Work

You will have a permanent record of a pupil's work from day one until they leave - crucial for demonstrating progression to the pupil, parents and OFSTED. Part of the installation process would be the creation of all your users and their respective privileges, saving you a significant amount of time and effort.

3. Share Curricula Resources

Curricula Resourcescan then be accessed from anywhere within school,whether it be material downloaded from the internet, pictures taken using a digital camera, ...

4. Revitalise Older Technology

Protecting previous investment by revitalising older technology (post- 386 PC, all Acorn and Apple computers) can be connected to the network.
