FROM THE CEO

Greg Strachan Chief Executive Officer

Welcome to the latest edition of our bi-annual publication, where we delve into the latest topics and trends in education technology. This Total Solutions newsletter features a variety of themes, including a case study on Westlake Boy’s E-sports computer lab, a deep dive into ChatGPT and its implications for education, the reasons why education is a top target for hackers, and the top things to consider when it comes to technology in schools this year.

You will see in this edition that technology continues to expand and diversify in unpredictable and exciting ways. From the Westlake Boy’s E-sports computer lab, providing an in-depth case study on how the school has leveraged technology to create a thriving E-sports program, to a closer look at ChatGPT, a large language model and the impacts this may have on how we look at assessments.

We also continue our theme over the past year or so on looking at security. We explore why education is a top target for hackers and what schools can do to protect themselves, the most common types of attacks, the potential impact of a breach, and the key steps that schools can take to safeguard their data and systems.

Finally, we round out the update with a look at the top things to consider when it comes to technology in schools this year. From infrastructure and hardware to software and policies, we provide a comprehensive overview of the key factors that schools need to consider to ensure that their technology initiatives are successful.

We hope that you enjoy this Total Solutions update and that it provides you with valuable insights into the latest trends and themes in education technology. As always, please feel free to get in touch with any feedback or suggestions for future topics.
