Feedback
Mr Turnbull is pleased that there were no hitches with the hardware and that the pupils behaved well and enjoyed the lesson. The only problem was that a few pupils had to share because there were not quite enough iBooks to go round. These pupils will have to do this exercise another time.
He says that if the computers are only used for word processing the batteries will last all day. The huge advantage of a wireless network for a school is its versatility. There is no need for a dedicated computer room: a teacher can, for example, book out six computers to use with a small group, print from anywhere in the school, or take any computer home to write reports (staff have their own folders, which are password protected for security). What’s more, everyone likes using them.
Pupils’ comments
The children say they enjoy using the iBooks because correcting text is easy and their work always looks neat.
