2+Infrastructure

= = TCEO acknowledging the financial and other support received from the Commonwealth. Our secondary schools have been fully funded to achieve 1:1 by Deember 2010 and sustain this ratio until the end of 2013.

=2013 Achievements in "Infrastructure"= Brainstorm Session (9th October 2009. Assume it's 2013. What do we expect to see?)

**Assumptions:** We will have a fiber connection to the WAN; a symmetric Internet service; access to Video Conferencing(VC). **Vision Statement:** By the end of 2013, our vision for 21st Century Learning is.....  Click to see larger view of vision.

We will achieve this vision by implementing the following strategies in the "Infrastructure" domain.

DONE - All secondaries will be completed by June 2010 ||= cabling and switching within the school that can push and pull large amounts of data. DONE - All secondaries have been upgraded ||= a secure model for wireless and network access. || The Google Apps domains have been setup for all secondary colleges. Still in trial ironing out issues and learning platform . ||= a choice of wireless access points that can cope with up to 60 concurrent connections The diocese has settled on a "N" standard solution from HP. The same vendor is supplying the core and edge switches as well as the access points. ||= adequate backup and UPS facilities. DONE ||
 * = high speed, symmetric connection to Internet and centrally hosted services.
 * = a reduced dependency on local server infrastructure as more and more services delivered from the cloud.
 * = <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 10pt;">automated account provisioning where possible.

This has been DONE and implemented in all primary schools. Secondary colleges are slower with takeup. ||= <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; msoansilanguage: EN-AU; msobidilanguage: AR-SA; msofareastfontfamily: 'Times New Roman'; msofareastlanguage: EN-AU;">resource rich classrooms: data projectors; teacher device; devices in student hands; etc

DONE. ||=  ||

Please add to this list but do not delete from it. As schools, each of you have a range of approaches to deal with 1:1 and the variables at your disposal will enable certain strategies and philosophies and make others unmanagable.
