Common Issues
Slow Laptops and PC's
Due to the pressure of running a classroom, teachers laptops/desktop PC's can become painfully slow affecting the teacher's ability to run their class effectively.
Class Room Projectors
Many interactive whiteboards operate with the use of a projector. If this projector fails the class can be left without a working smartboard for an extended period of time. Projector cleaning and maintenance is essential if you want to get the longest life out of your equipment. Dust covered projectors will overheat causing bulbs to blow or motherboard damage, leaving a costly fix.
Wifi and Network Management
The classroom landscape is forever changing and adapting with more and more technology. With this, school's must have a network that is strong enough to handle the ever-increasing loads placed upon it. Whether students have access to classroom laptops / PC's or tablets, the school must have a network capable of allowing this technology function to the best of its ability.

Smart Budget Solutions
Understanding your technology is key to saving money down the road. We take note of the expected hour's life left in the projector's bulbs and filters. Tracking and keeping logs of when projector filters and bulbs need to be cleaned and replaced allows us automatically order and install spares before disaster strikes. Did you know that it is recommended to replace projectors with bulbs capable of less than 3000 lumens as they will struggle to illuminate the class board sufficiently during daylight hours, and children will find it challenging to read the board?
