<BR>
I would like that.<BR>
The one to one computer initiative gives us lots of opportunity to use the Ultranet<BR>
By the way – have you used it on your smart phone yet? Have parents used it on their smart phones? Have students? Has it been unblocked in most work places (not schools but parents’ work places)?<BR>

<BR>
Sorry for the off topic question. I have just received word that the CEO have decided to purchase into the Ultranet renaming it to ICON and attempting to force all Catholic Schools into using this product. Just wondering if people could provide information on the Ultranet:<BR>
<BR>
1) Status of the solution? Does it work? Does it still have issues with connectivity?<BR>
2) Is there a student tracking module in operation? (eg. behavioural tracking) Does it work well?????<BR>
3) What do people think of the CMS? Is this worthwhile using?<BR>
4) What is the administration system like? This too will require us to change solutions if implemented.<BR>
<BR>
Any other information would be greatly appreciated. I am not sure whether this is a great idea or whether it is going to be a white elephant, but your responses will help me make an informed opinion. If you like you can email me directly at:<BR>
