Hardware Planning For School Computer Hardware

Hardware Planning is a major necessity for evaluating your educational computer hardware. It is important to keep your hardware in top condition because the equipment will be retained for years and needs careful evaluation.

You should take an inventory of the computer hardware in the school to differ equipment used for administrative versus instructional applications. Review the policies for hardware acquisition in a school district as well.

When you are acquiring computer hardware you need to focus on the following factors:

-Performance

-Compatibility

-Modularity/Expandability

-Ergonomics

-Software Availability

- Vendor for support, maintenance, and industry position.

- Cost

None of these factors should be ignored while acquiring hardware equipment.

Professional Hardware Planning administrators will evaluate your hardware by look at the different needs of administrative and instructional applications.

Administrative applications are controlled mainly at the district level to ensure compatibility and easy flow of information across your administrative structure.

Instructional applications have more diversity of equipment, for different subject and grade-level needs.
