April 2018 – ICT Moray

Tablet devices used to be issued to pupils on a 1:1 basis because there were logistical issues authenticating internet usage.

However due to recent improvements, all internet browsing from tablets now passes through the same Proxy server as normal internet usage for pupils. This means that all pupils are now required to provide personal login credentials when browsing the internet.

Schools can now freely use tablet devices with multiple pupils with only one proviso. The tablets must be completely shut down between users. This ensures that the next user does not inherit the previous users access to internet browsing.

Should you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact ICT.

Your school should have, or will soon receive, the documentation detailing the new equipment you will receive this year as part of the Core ICT Equipment refresh programs. This includes PCs (Can be changed to laptops as required by the school) and Interactive Panels.

The documentation contains full details on the equipment available and a list of upgrades that the school can purchase if they so wish. The pack also contains details on what your school should do to schedule the replacements and installations.

Please remember that the sooner the paperwork is returned to ICT the more likely you are to receive your preferred time slots.
