Are you concerned about the value of your district website for communicating with key stakeholders in your community? Technology leaders will better understand the potential websites hold for improving education and communication. Using the K-12 Website Maturity Model as a framework for the conversation, attendees will benefit from the theoretical and practical implications of the model as they work to empower others to understand an institution?s current level of maturation.

Within the next 5 years, the majority of traffic across the enterprise and the cloud will traverse Wi-Fi networks driven by a greater number of networked devices than ever before. Students and Faculty will demand the same wireless connectivity for their personal and business devices whether at home or in the office. Wi-Fi is fast approaching wired-like speeds over the air and has achieved a greater level of operational security than wired. Moving forward, the challenge for Wi-Fi to replace wired networks will be to move the intelligence to the edge and achieve the 99.999% reliability commonly enjoyed by wired networks today. Learn how 802.11n technology can achieve reliability commonly enjoyed by wired networks, while meeting the demands of mobile connections in an increasingly ?cloud centric? environment.

| We?ve made some progress along the way. But whatever we?ve accomplished, we recognize the wisdom in Alexander Pope?s observation. We can?t stop at a little; there is so much more to do. Tens of millions of students still don?t even have the chance to go to school. Many more fall behind or drop out of education completely, as adults languish without the skills to realize their dreams. Our goal is to reach these people, and to help them reach their potential . . . to make more of their lives through learning. We are as interested in helping people learn outside school as inside; from basic education to workable skills. And like our customers, we?ve found that the learning itself can be as valuable and enjoyable as the knowledge it gives us. So wherever we see Pearson, that?s why we remind ourselves that we are ? and we hope to help others to be ? always learning. Learn more about us at www.pearson.com |
