North West - Lysander Community High School in Warrington
Have successfully achieved whole school provision of 1-2-1 technology through the use of netbooks. Following a pilot year which saw staff and pupils experience a learning curve together the technology is now firmly embedded in the school ethos. Set in a deprived area of Warrington, this school has seen a number of feeder primary schools start the mobile technology initiative and wanted to ensure that it could continue to harness and improve the skill level of its pupils. The DMS (e-Learning Foundation donation collection service) has provided the necessary recording facilities for minimal staff interventions.

Set in the heartlands of Hull, close to the docks so internet provision can be difficult to achieve at times (depending on the number of ships in dock). The school has strived very quickly to achieve 1-2-1 technology provision and have taken a whole school approach over the last 12 months. They have consistently rolled out to each year group every few months. Using the e-Learning Foundation DMS service has meant that with such a large scale project they have been able to track and record all donations made.
