Embracing BYOD and Wireless Networking in Education

1. Connectivity Matters Embracing BYOD and wireless networking in Education 14 May 2013 Tris Simmons, Sr Product Marketing Manager, EMEA

2. BYOD Trends Fad or Future? BYOD Challenges Overcoming concerns to adoption BYOD IT network implications BYOD = Just add wireless, right? The Digital Class Empowering potential Steps to success Supporting your journey with the right IT network choices Connectivity Matters Agenda

3. Fad or Future? ‘Can BYOD make a difference to teaching and learning?’

4. Tablet Computing Revolution ‘Unit sales of Consumer PC’s through Western Europe remain weak in Q113, while Slate Tablets more than tripled year on year’ 19 April 2013 4

5. Mix of technologies at play Chalkboard Projector Smartboard Laptop Tablet A clear shift from left to right is taking shape in Education establishments, but getting there means making the right choices 5

6. Connectivity Matters World Stage • Scotland: £60m government spend on tablets for universities, colleges and schools • South Korea: pledged to move to an all tablet curriculum by 2015 • Thailand: 800,000 tablets issued to first graders in 2012. • England: ESSA Academy – 800 tablet roll out to all students and staff • USA: In McAllen, Texas, public school officials opt for tablets over PC’s….plan to distribute 25,000 in years ahead 6

7. Netherlands • Virtually all vocational schools and 66% of secondary schools have wireless Internet Wireless • Internet is less common in primary education. • 75% of teachers use computers during lessons • Spend ~8 hours a week using computers in their lessons • 66% of teachers feel that they are sufficiently or more than sufficiently familiar with the various options that ICT can offer them in their teaching 7

8. The Growth of Wireless 3 x wired growth rate $4bn 10% CAGR 10% CAGR $3bn 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 Infonetics, Q4 2012 8

9. The future ‘With mobile-device based learning, it’s not just about replacing text books, pens or paper. It is about inventing new ways of learning and teaching, both individually and collaboratively’

10. From Writing Pad to iPad NETG Tablet and mobile device computing is strictly for the fortunate few that can afford the expense! Budget or budget constrained? Consider a ‘Paper to Digital’ Cost Benefit Analysis If you could save 50% of your paper cost…. 10

11. Savings potential illustration • Tablets vs the library • Consider 1,000 kindle books = ~1GB • e-textbooks cost considerably less • Initial expense and re-use; less wear and tear • Less paper printed / Reduce CO2 footprint • Digital lessons / assignments only • Tablets interactive, unlike text books • e-textbooks updates: Instant • 1-2-1 customised learning and content • Content shared collaboratively across multiple devices via the cloud Consider also…..2 or 3 tablets for the same price of 1 PC! 11

12. Transformational Change Potential Why should IT should be a stage in the Education learning process? It should be the way of the Education process IT IT 12

13. Research “It appears that 1-2-1 tablets offer a sense of inclusion that allow children, irrespective of socio-economic status or level of attainment, an opportunity to thrive through a new pedagogical model of pupil-led learning.” Tablets for Schools programme 2012 – UK 13

14. Changing Perceptions: 1-2-1 tablets Children’s perceptions Parents perceptions • Teachers’ perceptions • Greater motivation to learn and be creative • Collaborative nature of the tablet • Disruptive behaviour distracted • Greater motivation and engagement with school work • More aligned to schoolwork than before • Concerns over device costs, breakages and theft do continue • Concerns about excessive use • Parents own lack of confidence in technology • Can offer more independence and choice; they can facilitate rather than instruct • Easier to monitor and track progress • Technology confidence varies; training is key • Lack of curriculum based content, but creative and innovative ways are used 14

15. Applications and AppsTransforming Learning ‘Apps are the driver for new learning styles, techniques, discovery, personal development and interaction with content, fellow learners and educators’ • iTunes U • Content downloads topped 1BN in Feb 2013 • 75,000 education related apps in the App Store • Raspberry Pi • Teaching learners to code at minimal cost 15

16. Raspberry Pi The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card-sized single-board computer developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation with the intention of promoting the teaching of basic computer science in schools • Type A: $25 • Just add: • Keyboard • Power • Monitor • Mouse • Storage (SD) • Network adapter • Or a laptop! 16

17. The concerns ‘Is the effort worth the gain?’

18. Managing concerns 18

19. Is it right for us? BYOD is a security risk! Managing the IT behind mobile learning involves more IT skills, experience and cost! It’s too complicated and complex to support and implement mobile device based learning Tablet Computing is expensive! • Embracing mobility depends on who is on board with you! 19

20. It’s right for us! What happens when every student has his or her own connected mobile device for learning? Are mobile devices appropriate replacements for writing pads? How does teaching and learning change when everyone is connected using a personal device? Are Android devices a better, cheaper alternative to more premium branded devices? • Embracing mobility requires a collaborative approach with learners, educators, parents and support staff 20

21. IT on the Move Are you ready and able to support BYOD? Off-Site 500 On-Site 21

22. Piecemeal or Wholemeal adoption? ? (BYOD) Bring Your Own Device Standard Issue Only Device ‘A Hybrid approach allows trial, evaluation, re-alignment, progression’ 22

23. The approach ‘Supporting mobile-devices just means adding wireless networking, right?’

24. Customer challenges we’ve seen….. Cheap laptops vs premium brand Scalability Tablets with no RJ45 Firewall capacity Guest Access Laptop Specifications Single Band or Dual Band Access Point Environment interference Load Balancing Broadband connection speed Learner to Device ratios Staff / Teacher Training Access Point Placement PoE switching needs Peak traffic periods Laptop profiles 24

25. Top Tips for Wireless Deployments 25

26. NETGEAR wireless service advice A host of options exist to manage user access and traffic • Limit # of devices allowed to connect • MAC authentication • SSID • Guest authentication / Captive portals • Regulate type of devicesallowed to connect • Tablets, but not smart phones • Smart phones ok, but bandwidth limited • Utilise Dual Band Access Points • Place heavy or priority users on 5GHz (less busy and less interference) • Place lighter or less important users on 2.4GHz 26
