Greater Protection Needed For Laptop Initiatives in Education
More and more schools are turning to laptops as an everyday learning tool. Laptop learning not only helps students quickly develop computer, writing and interpersonal skills, it also helps teachers create and deliver more innovative lessons. Many schools are also promoting distance-learning education to accommodate remote students and are encouraging mobile computing in order to create stronger teamwork environments.
A Lost or Stolen Computer Means A Child Gets Left Behind
Student computer initiatives are successful only when computers remain in students’ hands. With the ever-growing reliance on remote and mobile computers in education, educators are faced with the challenge of how to keep those assets secure and monitored.
Because student records, private information, and confidential research data are no longer kept solely in one secure location, this critical data and the systems they reside on must be kept secure.
Eight Laptops Recovered at Once for Texas School
When an entire laptop cart containing eight computers was stolen from Mesquite High School (Texas) last year, Computrace was instrumental in getting them back. "That laptop cart represented one-third of the high school's entire career and technology laptop fleet," said Judy Rollins, Director of Career & Technology at Mesquite ISD. "A theft like that can affect students, teachers and learning outcomes." But in less than a month, the Mesquite PD had recovered all eight computers, thanks to Computrace anti-theft tracking software.Read the case study
