8 CAMPUS NETWORK CHALLENGES

9 KEY TRENDS Trend Solvable Difficult Wicked Short-Term Mid-Term
Creating Authentic Learning Opportunities Integrating Technology in Teacher Education Difficult Personalizing Learning Rethinking the Roles of Teachers Wicked Scaling Teaching Innovations Teaching Complex Thinking Short-Term BYOD Marker Spaces Mid-Term 3D Printing Adaptive Learning Technologies Long-Term Digital Badges Wearable Technology Source: Horizon Report.

10 Campus Network Challenges & Solutions
BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) / 1:1 Initiatives Security - How do they allow BYOD devices to connect securely and keep students from accessing things on the school’s internal servers? Device Density Policy Enforcement Solutions Mobile Device Management – Client fingerprinting Client Device MAC address filter Site Limitation / Wall-Garden Network Access Control

11 Campus Network Challenges & Solutions
Bandwidth Performance Increased # of client devices. 1 to 2 devices per student Amount of time on client devices Demanding content – video, music Solutions Add more access points to increase coverage via manageable WLAN – auto provisioning makes this easier 802.11AC – Quality of Service

12 Campus Network Challenges & Solutions
Affordability Initial Cost of WLAN equipment (access points, switches, controller) Cost to maintain WLAN equipment – licensing fees, subscription fees Still need to deliver performance & reliability Solutions Careful, comprehensive WLAN campus design – get the best coverage with high performing devices Shop around and get the best solution to maximize your budget Take advantage of Federal E-Rate Program Pick hardware with no licensing or subscription fees

13 E-RATE

14 E-Rate Goals Education Reform Expand Broadband Services
5 Year Federal Program K-12 Schools (public & private) Libraries Funding Category 1 – Broadband ($2 billion) Category 2 – Internet & WiFi & Management ($3.2 billion) Internet for All School Affordable Access to High Speed Broadband Digitized Content Demand with multi-media, interactive, mobile & virtual elements Standardized Assessments Online testing for the Common Core State Standards

15 Case Assumption – 500 Student with 60% E-Rate Discount
How to Calculate E-Rate Discount & Budget Caps Discount Based on National School Launch Program Budget Caps Funding Per Student - $150 Case Assumption – 500 Student with 60% E-Rate Discount Total Budget = $150 x 500 = $75000 (to be used over a 5-year period) E-Rate = $75000 x 60% = $45000 School = $ $ = $30000 Source:

16 How to Apply Review Schools and Library program to see your E-Rate %
Create an Internet Security Plan Contact SLD to get EPC Log-In Choose a vendor / Create RFP File the Application Forms 470 (Service Request) 470 Receipt Notification Letter Enter Allowable Contract Date File the Application Forms 471 (Funding Request) Enter Item 21 to break down relevant services Implementation – Install Equipment File FCC Form 486 to notify FCC that service have started Wait for Funding (Form 498 or BEAR Payment)

17 E-Rate Must Know & Resources
Application Time Frame Starting in January 2016 Closing in March / April 2016 What is New for 2016 Form 470 & 471 New EPC (E-Rate Productivity Portal) BEAR payment goes directly to school account. Not vendor! Might take up to 12 months for approval so start early! Resources USAC Schools and Libraries: Modernization Order - Apply Online -

18 TAKE ADVANTAGE OF E-RATE
E-Rate Best Practices Protect against audits with thorough record-keeping and ongoing monitoring USAC Training and Services Talk with your peers or E-Rate consultants TAKE ADVANTAGE OF E-RATE Vendors and Service Provider are not allow to fill out forms Look out for rule changes
