Broadband =collaboration

Future proofing needs to happen - at the moment the foundations we are building on are
not stable, broadband should be something that is expected to work like
electricity in the morning time, otherwise things fail and it leaves a bad
taste in people's mouths (which they blame on the technology).

Wifi that actually works in all rooms and not just in certain areas.

Equality in what schools have

Budgets

Is 100mbs enough? Unlikely in a bigger school and possibly too much for a 2 teacher school

Proper plan for strategy, nothing vague, timelines that are actually followed and plans that are is tulle done.

CPD to schools on devices, des needs to offer training, research Into IT providers rathe then best price based

Price isn't the main factor, who buys the cheapest oven? Quality over quantity

Avoiding wasting money, make the most of it by researching properly. Aim higher

Are we better off all having the same equipment? Unlikely as we all learn differently...#HowILearn

Funding for specific requirements, eg Macs for media
