Joe,
Ballard is setting up individual student accounts. There are a number of
issues that require a lot of planning before implementation.
I'm not sure exactly what you're doing from your post.
Do students need to have an Internet form to get these folders?
Can they access programs other than Internet Explorer without a logon?
Who is establishing these accounts?
Who is the building sysop who will maintain the accounts? Do you need more
than one? What will they be paid for this extra workload? What equipment
will they need? Is the sysop program compatible with an existing computer?
Who is the best person to add new accounts?
What is your policy for restricting access to an account?
What is the best way to implement this new procedure? Informing students,
teachers, & parents.
Is this system only for the computer lab or for all computers in the school?
If it is for all computers in the school, how will guests log on? Lots of
outside groups want to use the computers.
In the library will students have access to the library catalog if they
don't have a logon?
You really need to talk through all aspects of individual accounts.
