Today our School Wifi is Live!

Today was a memorable day.

At 5:00 p.m. yesterday our IT department flipped the switch and our entire school went live on WiFi.

The waiting started.

Today at about 2:00 p.m. a student asked me what the password was for wifi. He had his own iPod Touch. We have a BYOD agreement in our district. As I walked him through the process for access, a small crowd gathered and I stepped back and just watched and listened.

"Oh, cool". "What, we have wifi?"

The expressions on their faces. Priceless. I was able to snap a photo of the first group of students on. It will go in our year book.

Now the fun and learning begins. I'd really like to know what kinds of experiences you had at your school once they flipped the switch. Hope you'll let me know in the comments.

Can't wait until tomorrow.
