Laptops for Learning L4L Program Information

Laptops for Learning Program

We have already had our phase 1 rollout of the wireless infrastructure in several rooms in the School.  The Blocks that were done are B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, the CLS, A4 and A3 and the Art block.  These rooms were not chosen by us.  DET determined the rooms that were to be cabled.  By the end of the year the rest of the School should be done.  The first rollout of Teacher laptops (18 units) is scheduled to happen in June or July this year.  Year 9 laptops are expected to be rolled out in August.
