Also an assessment of whether the students have access difficulties when it comes to broadband, was asked. The headmaster suggests that 37 percent of students have to wait for a long time to Download the worksheets. 40 percent are likely to have medium, and 23 percent of low difficulty.

Thus, Laptop, printer and digital panels can be networked, are also investing in appropriate devices, such as servers and routers, as well as the Software needed. The third focus is the “presentation technology”, so what was once a chalk Board. The circle has made in the past years, very different experiences with ease of use and the vulnerability of the “whiteboard” and “Active Panels”, such as the electronic billboards hot. The steering group strongly recommends a unified System.
