- W201201596 abstract "The most important consideration for a school district technology coordinator is the issue of accommodating growth of the computer network over time. In order for growth to be accomplished in an orderly fashion, coordinators need a cost-effective scheme by which networks can grow in an incremental fashion, acquiring new technology when it becomes affordable. That scheme is called scalability. Scalability refers to network growth both in terms of the number of users as well as new applications in need of more bandwidth. K-12 education is one of the great users of bandwidth. Throughout the brief history of educational computing, teachers and students have seen and used the potential of graphics, video, the Internet, homepage development and conferencing in the learning process. In many districts, teachers somehow manage to utilize all the bandwidth available to them -- and then look for more. Network-based learning technologies have been slow to evolve due to the unusual nature of developing infrastructure services, wrote Professor R. William Maule, of the University of San Francisco. However, advanced communications technologies can greatly enhance instructional programs and are necessary to support future workers in a highly competitive global economy. A scalable network brings the learning resources of the world into the workstations of individual students almost instantaneously, in accordance with the latest technology. If the district network designers have incorporated scalability in their thinking, they can deploy new bandwidth technology at the point at which it becomes affordable. They do not have to re-do or re-install that which they have already done. They do not have to retrain staff. Existing management systems can be maintained. The designers build incrementally and thus cost-effectively, because they know that they are on a coherent migration path. Scalability is an issue that should be discussed in as much detail as possible in a district's technology plan. This alerts the administration and board to budget resources for the future, and indicates to all teachers how and when they will receive the new allocations of technology. Switching Switching is key to scalability because it represents a dramatic upgrade from shared technology that relies on hubs and routers, to switched technology. In shared technology all end users share 10 Mbps of bandwidth. Shared technology is often a source of frustration for teachers: it may take minutes for students to get on the Net and/or to reach their assignments. In a K-12 setting, students often use the same programs at the same time, and this severely challenges a shared technology network. In switched technology, every end user receives dedicated 10 Mbps, or even 100 Mbps access. The difference between shared and switched networks for the end user is dramatic. Tasks can be accomplished much faster because of the increased dedicated bandwidth to the workstation. …" @default.
