Laptops

All laptops in our school run on the SSOE 2 environment. All the laptops that have been deployed to the teachers, staff and in labs are all SSOE 2 laptops. Apart from these, we have a few laptops which is school owned.

So what is the difference between a SSOE 2 and a school owned laptop?

  • With an SSOE laptop,
  1. Internet Connection in automatic admin@SSOE / acad@SSOE
  2. you are given access to sharing folders
  3. you can access the network printers around the school
  4. you require an IAMS account to log-in, same goes for students
  5. Installing a new software isn't immediate. Requests have to be made and the software has to be white-listed before being used.


  • With a School owned laptop,
  1. Internet Connection is either through SWN or Internet@SSOEx
  2. you can try out new software
  3. network printers are not available

So which one is suitable for me?

It is advisable to use the laptops in the labs and those deployed to you.

IF,

  • these laptops prevent you from carrying out your idea due to security issues,
  • you want to try out a new application,
  • loan out a laptop out of school,
