The media is awash with details of the Conficker (aka Downadup) superworm that has infected around 9 million computers at the last count. This worm is already causing havoc across schools and this is despite the fact that whilst the virus is infecting systems it has not been activated. In other words it has not started to execute its real purpose. It is absolutely essential that schools are vigilant at the moment. Do not allow USB sticks from pupils or from any user that uses another system to be used in school. All laptops going home should be checked to ensure they are fully updated and protected. If you are unsure DO NOT allow them to connect to your network at school or plug a USB stick into them. All our customers can contact us on 0845 052 1066 or

for advice. For a more detailed overview of the worm see: http://www.theregister.co.uk/

Computeam has been monitoring new technologies in the handheld and mobile learning sphere for more than 18 months. Many schools will now be familiar with a variety of access devices, from ultra-portable laptops like the Asus EeePC to games platforms like the Sony PSP and some of you may even have started trialling the devices in your school. One key limitation cited by our customers is the difficulty of integrating these devices into classroom sessions with the minimum of effort for teachers. A potential solution for integrated mobile learning has recently come to our attention in the form of Study Mobile software by Sanako, running on the innovative Nokia N810 mobile internet device (MID). We'll soon be releasing a full evaluation of the solution, so watch this space. In the meantime, have a look at the below case study from a UK primary school, or see the Sanako website here.
