<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN lang=EN-AU
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Giving each staff
member a wireless PDA works out at 25 cents per class with the added benefit of
knowing who the missing students are or where they are, 5 min after the start of
each class, not when the PDA’s are returned at the end of a route and not by
using the free labours and distracting efforts of duty students walking about.
You could mark rolls with a wireless laptop but the PDA’s are instantly powered
on, robust and very easy to use. In addition, doing away with Form Assembly gave
us an extra 20 periods of time release for coordination staff. Notices are
instead read out during period 1 from a Moodle rss feed (or web page). I have
been asked to help prepare a media release and launch during term
2.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
