Infrastructure

Facilities and Equipment
Our current technology infrastructure systems will;
 * Providing ubiquitous wireless access to all students and staff campus wide.
 * Upgrade the school’s wireless infrastructure to the most recent speed standards therefore providing increased bandwidth for such things as unlimited audio and video streaming.
 * Moodle 2.0: Our online virtual school environment.
 * Individual school portals: To showcase school products and communicate with community.
 * Read/Write Tools: For student and staff educational use (blogs and wikis).
 * A student e‐poriolio system.
 * Provide students grades 6‐12 with a personal portable computing device that permits students the opportunity to access information and communicate with peers and experts in the context of learning in the classroom.
 * Online printing for staff and students
 * Re-imaging of portable computing device

The Standard Classroom
In order to promote equality, a standard set of tools for each classroom is being proposed. Those tools should include:
 * One school owed computer supplied to the teacher.
 * Software for word processing, graphic editing, communication, multi‐media (both audio and video) creating and browsing the Internet.
 * An LCD projector or smartboard
 * A set of classroom speakers.
 * Document Camera in the Lower School classrooms

Security
ISH appreciates issues related to security for the campus and the networked communication system. The IT Manager will endeavor to maintain the security of its networked system through periodic reviews of the security protocols in use and outlined in a site security plan. Numerous threats exist including viruses, spyware, worms, phishing email fraud, network sniffing and denial of service attacks. There will be ongoing research into new network security threats as they arise. The primary protection employed will remain a hardware firewall configured with strict access rules.
 * ISH Security Software:**
 * **F-Secure**-Every workstation at ISH runs the F-Secure anti-virus & computer software running.

Networking
Ideally, implementation of this technology plan would create a community‐wide network to allow each member of the ISH community to share information anytime, anywhere on an equitable basis. To that end, the school would need to further develop its communication infrastructure by providing students with school assigned email accounts on a school based email system. This would facilitate and promote communication not only with ISH students but also the entire ISH community.
