Events Calendar - Ossett School ~ Effective ICT in Education

 

The author of the study Dr. John Spencer said: “Becta-approved ICT suppliers are selling equipment that they can’t afford to support. It’s like buying a car and then having to employ your own full-time mechanic to keep it on the road. www.publictechnology.net

Unable to pay commercial rates for support and burdened with over-complex ICT Systems, most schools are forced to employ more technical support staff and as a result spend over half their ICT budgets on salaries. The report concludes the way forward is Open Source thin-client networks, “they don’t get Windows viruses and can be managed by one person from the server room.”

Ossett School are inviting local key decision makers within education to see and hear first hand how computer technology can and will in the future, be effectively and economically employed in an educational environment.
