[Yr11 Information Technology] 1:1 Ipads and Netbooks

[Roland Gesthuizen]

Yes, the LMS in Compass is rather primitive, kind of why I am sticking with Edmodo, others with Moodle. Anybody using Schoology or GoogleClassroom? I’m just curious.

We use Compass as our school platform and iPADs only allow the upload of image and video files to Compass. We are two years in on the new device program and very happy with it. The tablets take the eduSTAR image and we are finding an ever growing number of Microsoft apps being developed as well.

We are considering moving to Ipads for BYOD from next year. This would mean that we have a combination of IPads and Netbooks.  Can I ask others that may have the same set up, how well it runs from a network set up point of view?
