Umlazi District Vodacom Connectivity Project: 2014

District ICT Update  New District website  District eCommunication Platform:  New approach to District ICT support (Circular No. 3 of 2014)  ICT Integration Guideline Document (Draft)  School ICT Strategy (ICT Champion, ICT Circuit Activities, Challenges)  eWaste and Donations  ICT Audit (District/Head Office)  Important Documents (SAConnect, White Paper 7, Action Plan 2014)  Feedback on school related ICT issues by Principals

The aim of the Project is to provide connectivity to schools… Hardware:  26x Tablets  1x Laptop  1x Data Projector  1x IWB  2x Printers  1x Mobile Trolley  1x WAP unit  1x Server Connectivity:  It must cover a 200 meter radius  Access is eRated  USAASA will pay for internet connection for a year Support:  3 months support will be provided by Vodacom after installation.  First line of support will be the District and if there is a need, Vodacom will be contacted to attend to the problem.  After 3 months, support will be provided by the District alone. Challenges:  Signal Strength and range boosters are a must during installation  SIM Card utilized during the installation should be the SIM card that will be left at the school.  Clarification on how and when Data bundles/internet cap will be controlled.  Direct Contact Numbers with responsible parties regarding internet connection (e.g.: SIM Card, Data Bundles management)  Type of internet connection (Capped or uncapped)

Tips during installation  Identify a secure room to store tablets and other mobile equipment.  After installation, test all tablets to see it they are able to connect to the Wi- Fi Network or not.  Ensure that all passwords for devices are provided.  Confirm training will be provided before signing off.  Do not sign anything until all work is complete and you are satisfied that devices are able to access the network within a 200 meter radius from the point of installation.  If it is possible, identify a room that is situated in a central location in the school to ensure maximized connectivity.

Integration Issues  The Mobile Lab is meant to be utilized by all subjects  The tablets are meant to be utilized by learners  The school needs to update its ICT strategy to accommodate the utilization of tablets in the classroom  Teachers need to take note of the following:  How is the teacher going to stop learners from playing games during the lesson?  How is the teacher going to control unauthorized access to the internet?  Lesson planning and assessment need to be adapted to the current environment.  Filtering of websites with explicit content can be regulated through certain tablet applications available on Google Play Store.  The firewall is managed by Vodacom  School must book with Curriculum Support Services (CSS) for ICT Support

MST/ICT (Head Office)  Project Background  Project Implementation/Rollout  Project Highlights/Challenges  Provincial ICT Update  Message of support
