GIGA school How do you deal with a teacher "Teacher! The PC is slow and the investigation is not going on" | ICT Educational News

[PR] In order to realize the GIGA school concept, "one -by -one terminal" was developed at elementary and junior high schools nationwide.However, when the lid is opened, there are many problems that the computer is too slow to use.Why did you fall into such a state? How can you solve it? This time, we talked to Mr. Kurihara, a former teacher and a former Microsoft ICT promoter, and Mr. Hirose, an engineer.。

Mr. Kurihara, "The PC does not move as expected" is happening here and there.On the contrary, even if you search on an ordinary website instead of a video, it will harden for more than 15 seconds or if you try to log in to the system, the screen will be white and stop, so it is usually like a "live ticket competition".It is happening at school.Students say, "It's faster to check with a smartphone," "The net is slow and you can't find half of what you want to find out."

You may not believe that the PC is so slow in the early Heisei period, but if you are in the educational site, you may be able to sympathize with "there".。

I am worried that the motivation of teachers and students for ICT education will be lost due to the not moving the terminal as expected.

Mr. Kurihara: The things have stopped at the front of the ICT education.Originally, you have to find out what ICT education and the conventional education should be mixed one by one, such as "ICT is good here, the previous method is better."However, before experiencing the possibility of ICT, it may be "I do not need ICT education".

Even in an environment where the network is slow and cannot be used as expected, we will hear stories such as "Let's use GIGA devices" and "I use it in other schools".I think that situation has been considerable for teachers.

Mr. Hirose: The word "ticket competition battle" was mentioned earlier, but now the school site has a similar state.Each person's terminal goes to the same place, so the network is extremely crowded.

In many cases, PCs, tablets and apps have the cause.There are times when we consult us, "The tablet doesn't work, but shouldn't it be a computer?"

Mr. Kurihara's school is trying to deal with the idea of "let's use a light app as light as possible" and "buy a new terminal", but this is not possible to change the root of this "GIGA terminal is slow."The problem is not in terminals and software, but in school network environments.

Mr. Hirose is a very useful infrastructure, but there is also the risk of being attacked from the outside or bringing out information from inside.So, in the past, we were trying to protect security with the idea of "boundary defense".This is like a "check" on a road.If you pull only one road going out of the town, set up a checkpoint and monitor it, it was safe.

This was fine if the traffic was small, but now it is the era of "per person".It's like everyone is riding a private car.With only one road, heavy traffic will occur.In such a case, if you make a mini car a Ferrari, traffic jams are inevitable.

Mr. Kurihara One of my surprise when I became a teacher was the Internet line.In many schools, there is only one line as a household contract.Because it is used in the whole area, it is natural that it will be slow.And it costs a huge cost to increase the line.

Conventional security mechanism: There is only one "road" going out of the school and traffic jams

Mr. Hirose: There are measures such as increasing the bandwidth of the network, that is, increasing the width of the road, and building a highway, but as Mr. Kurihara said earlier, this response requires advanced expertise and budget.。Therefore, the means that can be easily incorporated at any school is to make a lot of ways going out of the town.That way, there is no traffic jam and you can run comfortably on the Internet road.Even if each road is narrow, if you have your own road, you will not be congested.Speakingly, this is called "local breakout".

Mr. Hirose used to be.However, in recent years, the great advances in technology have been able to take new security measures.

To put it simply, the security that has been protected on the network has been protected on the cloud side.On the operating company that provides the cloud, you can always check the "ID card" of the user and the "safety certificate" of the personal computer, and if you have them, you can pass the road freely, if there is a defect, the limit.He will watch over.As a result, the load on the network is reduced, and as a result, the situation of "slow network" can be solved.

The technology to confirm the identity on the Internet has developed significantly, and after confirming and verifying that it is the person from all angles, a certified organization that issues "information proof of the person" such as a passport and license has been introduced.Security technology is now available.This enables high -speed networks based on new security methods.

New security mechanism: Create a mechanism that allows you to safely go out from anywhere

Mr. Kurihara: Until now, for example, I had been checking my identity in a large way, such as "when I entered school" and "When I log in to a personal computer", but from now on, one by one, such as "use apps" and "open files".You can also check your identity by specifying the conditions for some detailed work.No matter where you walk, it is like a heavenly path, so you don't have to go through the road with a checkpoint.

Mr. Hirose, as well as confirming and verifying the identity, the quality of the security itself has also improved.For example, for example, in the case of examinations, we have strictly checked only "whether this car is a car that can be passed", but we are investigating the people and cars inside.did not.However, in the future, it is now possible to confirm whether there is no mistake in the person inside and whether it is a safe car that passed the inspection.

For Microsoft, "Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)" is the ID card service, and "Microsoft Intune" is the terminal safety check service.The Microsoft 365 Education A5 plan, which can use these services, has a particularly enriched security function of security, but even in Japan, even in Japan, the introduction of the school network speed is 130 times or more.It has appeared.

An image of a school line test that was actually maintained by the above method.In the past, if you watched the video alone, the Internet of the whole school stopped, and it seems that it did not appear more than 5Mbps even when it was fast.

Mr. Hirose: Windows is used around the world.The number is billions.By knowing what is happening in the world's ICT environment, even if a new attack method appears, the information is shared by a computer around the world in a very short time, making it possible to take measures quickly.It will be.I think that there is no company in the world that has been fighting as much as Microsoft and continuing to fight, so please leave it with confidence.

Mr. Kurihara: The world changes.When I was a teacher, I had a successful experience in introducing ICT at school, but both teachers and students change their eyes.Really alive ... I've seen many of them so far.

Now, it has been blocked by the slowness of the network, but the teachers, the teachers, the students, and the students are "connected", the great thing begins.That should be the philosophy of the original GIGA school concept.

Mr. Hirose's ICT environment is changing significantly due to law amendment and technology.Now, even in situations where GIGA devices are difficult to use, there is a future that can be used comfortably.We will continue to help the future.
