Goliad, TX ISD Case Study WLAN
Situation: Anytime, Anywhere Learning
With a county population of 6,000, Goliad ISD is a pre-k through 12 school district serving 1,325 students. Goliad, the only town in the County, has a population of 2,000. The residents inside the city limits can receive DSL. "Residents outside of the city limits have a choice of dish, satellite, or dial-up. Internet capability is minimal outside of the city limits due to the slow speed or the high cost," says Anna White, Technology Director, Goliad ISD.
Seeing an opportunity to improve education and help teachers work more productively, the school board approved a four-year lease/purchase agreement to obtain laptops: one for every faculty/staff member and one for every student in grades 7-12. Linking the computers would require a wireless network. But not just any network. It would require seamless coverage across multiple buildings and throughout the campus, both indoors and outside. The district considered other vendors, but those contacted could not offer outdoor coverage, or others costs quoted costs well beyond Goliad's budget.
Solution: Motorola Wireless LAN Solution and Local Support
Goliad turned to a trusted partner the school had worked with before: Victoria Communication Services (VCS). VCS, through a relationship with Motorola, submitted a quote to Goliad. VCS made the extra effort to meet Goliad's aggressive installation timetable to reduce disruption at the school, and the offer was approved.
Result: Improved Productivity, Student Excitement
The WLAN provides staff and students the opportunities to extend their learning in more ways than ever before. The laptops are taken home by students and used to complete and review assignments as well as explore other areas of interest. Teachers are able to access information in order to complete their work from alternate locations and to support learning in a variety of situations
The experience of using computers and the internet is affecting students, and they carry that enthusiasm home. "More high schools students want internet in their homes," says David Luna, Assistant Technical Director, Goliad, ISD. "Fifty-plus percent of students now have Internet access (in their homes), Where before only twenty percent had connectivity. Because of the laptop program, county residents who have children in the school district now want to subscribe to a service for home," says White
