What are your current infrastructure
priorities,
and how well will they scale?
Step 16: Create a 21st Century Learning Environment
Intent of this slide: Introduce Step 16.
Summary: Create physical and virtual learning spaces that support the 1:1 vision and goals.
Core Concepts
Research confirms students conform to physical spaces. Effective 21st Century learning spaces are not limited to the traditional teacher-centered model that many schools are limited to. In a 1:1 ‘anywhere, anytime’ learning model, learning spaces are:
Transformed to enable a new, more complete learning experience.
Flexible, interesting, inspirational.
Shaped to cater to a range of learning styles and modalities.
Reflections of the school’s vision and beliefs about learning.
Not only physical spaces, but also includes virtual learning spaces and the tools to access them.

9. What kind of Wireless Access Points are required?

10. Is a Wireless Access Point controller required?
WLAN controllers optimize traffic across wireless access points and client devices to deliver high performance and predictability while addressing mission- critical school demands for wireless connectivity.
Access points with extremely high density and data throughput capacity
Configure the WLAN from the controller, not each individual Access Point
Zero handoff between Access Points
Manage wireless bandwidth and Access Point saturation automatically
