In the post-PC era, schools are striving to build collaborative learning environments supplemented by BYOT programs, using online tools such as Google Apps for Education, Weebly, YouTube and a myriad of other ‘cloud’ options.
There is one component common to all these tools that is vital to the success of the technology supporting the curriculum – reliable high speed Internet access.
The governing Council of schools in Monmouthshire (Wales) has recognised this basic need, and has allocated a budget to significantly improve Internet access in their schools.
The new funding will boost schools’ broadband Internet connections to 100MB for primary schools and 1GB for secondary schools.
