15 RISD 2016 BOND PLANNING STRENGTHS Instructional Technology Information Systems Network Services 15 TECHNOLOGY 15

16 PROCESSES: A KEY STRENGTH 16

17 BOND 2011: SUSTAINING A STRONG NETWORK DATA INFRASTRUCTURE The network status today is much faster than the status in LAN Speeds are 100 times faster Wireless Speeds are 28 times faster Internet Bandwidth 667 times faster Access layer switches provide all anticipated needs for the foreseeable future. Gigabit Client speed and 10-Gigabit uplinks 740 Watts per switch of Power over Ethernet Data Classification and Prioritization Current wireless standards comply with existing industry standard deployments. Dense wireless coverage with over 3,600 Lightweight access points district wide n 2.5gHz & 5gHz protocols Wireless networks for Staff, Student, VoIP and BYOD services Metropolitan Area Network connection speeds have increased over 6,000 times from those in Megabit T1 circuits have given way to Ten Gigabit fiber backbone connections as part of the 2011 Bond. 17

18 BOND 2011: SUSTAINING A STRONG NETWORK Server and Telephony Infrastructure The current server infrastructure includes 351 physical and virtual servers. 65% of the 179 Physical servers have been refreshed in the last three years Two SANs provide 260 Terabytes of RAW storage today. The current storage solution is redundant and fault tolerant Existing end user telephony devices meet the current and foreseen needs. Desk phones for every teacher Wireless phones based on 30% of the number of desk phones Jabber soft phone available for Windows, Mac, ipad/iphone, and Android 18

19 ACTIVE LEARNING: A KEY STRENGTH 21 ST Century Learners Active Learning techniques allows students to become involved in their learning, relate the content to their own experience and apply it to their daily lives. 19

20 RISD 2016 BOND PLANNING CHALLENGES Instructional Technology Information Systems Network Services 20 TECHNOLOGY

21 BOND 2016: SUPPORTING DIGITAL LIFE IN 2020 Challenges Develop clear and concise business requirements Develop willingness to objectively review and change business processes Promote active involvement and participation by end users Manage expectations and change Control scope, thorough testing, and training 21

22 BOND 2016: SUPPORTING DIGITAL LIFE IN 2020 Challenges What We Know: 30% of distribution and Core Layer Switches will have provided ten years of service, three years past industry standard recommendations Application modules such as Load Balancers and BYOD wireless controllers are at end of life ac is becoming the new Wi-Fi standard Support structures such as Uninterruptable Power Supply systems require refresh Looking Ahead: In 2016: Telephony Servers reach end of service In 2018: 35% of the Server Infrastructure will have reached ten years of service In 2019: 50% of the storage hardware will have reached ten years of service Trends for additional network and application services are not anticipated to diminish. 22

23 TEACHING CAN NO LONGER BE LOOKED AT AS AN EVENT, IT MUST BECOME AN EXPERIENCE Not only do we need to help our principals and teachers see the power of tech integration, but how can we begin to work with them to embrace new structures/models for learning? -Tabitha Branum, Assistant Superintendent of Secondary Schools 23

24 PROMOTE LEARNING AS AN ACTIVITY It's not enough to take a traditional K-12 classroom and fill it with technology. The flexible classroom design requires an approach that factors in both the teacher's space and the students' independent and collaborative work areas for an active learning experience. Budget and funding must be provided at a level that will ensure the effective implementation of the technology integration in the classroom. 24
