- 30 kids taking online classes for credit, while working with a
teacher-coach here at school.
I am trying to budget this program.
Ha!
We currently have a single server, about 5 year sold, running Windows Server
2003; one wireless access point, and a 768 kps asdl line. Ain't gonna cut it
for 25-30 kids all logging on at once every day and accessing multimedia
content over the web.
We have in mind student supplied laptops/netbooks; school supplied OneNote.
So the costs - to me - seem tied up in:
- bandwidth to the server from the ISP
- internal wireless access and bandwidth
- server and server redundancy
- OneNote site license
- teacher trianing!
What am I missing?
Anyone here work with a reliable contractor in the Washington DC/ Silver
Spring MD area that you would recommend for us to speak with? Ideally,
they'd come out and take a look at our situation and give us a ballpark
price for what it would take to design, install and maintain the system we
would need to have this run - successfully.
In the next couple of weeks
Alternatively: anyone with enough recent experience to give me a laundry
list of costs good enough for an initial budget?
Many thanks!
In peace,
