Save money. ICT provision. 2
Description
Bridgid Nzekwu and DCSF procurement expert Claire Dicks visit John Kelly Girls Technology College in London to see if it's possible for the school to update its ICT provision and save money. The school is about to become an Academy and assistant principal Ross McGill is determined to take the school into the 21st century. But half the desktop computers need replacing and the server is so old that pupils spend valuable lesson time trying to log on to it. The server lease is expiring in a few months so now's the time to replace it. Ross visits Thomas Deacon Academy in Peterborough which has won several awards for its ICT provision. It has a 'thin client' system in which most of the computing power is in the server, doing away with the need for individual desktop computers. Might a system like this be suitable for Ross's school? It would be a big upfront cost but are there ongoing savings to be made? Bridgid and Claire do the research and the sums and return to the college to report back.
