Jay Atwood Welcome to the new school year. We've just finished our third week of the school year with full 9-12 implementation of a BYO program. Within the first week we configured 1500 laptops and other wireless devices for our 1150 students. So far it's going well. Lots of learning and experimenting going on. I'd love to hear how everyone else is going.
