The self-titled "Engineer" walks very aterafado to inaugurate the "School 2.0" and shouting to the seven winds which have the best equipped schools in the world thanks to its Technology Plan. Imagine that was until this week to inaugurate the Port schools (schools open for decades, some almost centenary, but still were opened).
But the most important message that the prime minister wants to convey is that within a few months we will have 0.5 youth, young people and a few privileged young 1.0 2.0, ie we have:
As noted that the elections are close by.
is a pity that only the pseudo-engineer should with his presence for the openings (and pseudo-openings) and always miss the funerals of dozens of schools that are closing by the parents.
Also it must be remembered that at the moment, we are talking about the inauguration of a half dozen schools that must represent less than 0.05% of Portuguese schools.

But the most important message that the prime minister wants to convey is that within a few months we will have 0.5 youth, young people and a few privileged young 1.0 2.0, ie we have:
- 0.5 Young people who mostly reside in the countryside, which not even have schools (one I saw today on TV at inscribed primary chick in Spain). Then complain about the desertification of the country.
- 1.0 Young, who are the majority and that schools have always (ill-equipped, degraded, insecure and lacking in staff and equipment)
- Young 2.0, the privileges that have access to technological equipment and Internet will be a minority for the first time will probably be in much smaller number than 0.5.
What was the criteria used to define these citizens first, second and third class?! Who decided?
Some of these issues are understandable and may even be accepted, because this technological upgrade can not be done from one day to another and some time is necessary to equip all schools. But it is unacceptable to close schools and discrimination to some Portuguese, denying he's the universal right to education and constitutional.
refrained me a little thing I wanted to and that resulted in the name of this post, back to the Technology Plan and see some interesting details of it.
According to the Government, within a few months we have thousands of technological devices scattered throughout the schools, so far so well.
What the Government has not explained is how we will support and maintain thousands of these devices.
already been started to install some equipment in some schools (PC's, electronic tables, Internet, wireless networks, video surveillance, servers, etc. ...), but the equipment in use, quantities and spoken in the hands of teachers and students, will soon start giving problems.
When you begin to give problems, which you do?! Who connects? Who will do the support equipment? Manufacturer is that? What is the serial number? What firmware is installed? ..... But someone
minimally serious, plan a party to this size without first mounting a platform to ensure the registration of installed equipment and enable the automation of registration and support!? Well, it seems that our Technology Plan started that way.
Consider this: The various competitions
supply networks, frames, PCs, etc ... already been launched and mostly awarded and ongoing (but could not do without these openings be due to some favors certain companies, which would raise suspicions of favoritism, right?).

However, the competition to provide the Plan Tecnológico de a platform support has not yet been released. At this point, I draw attention to the fact that a support platform have to take:
- a software design tool for recording all property and occurrences (Asset and Service Management),
- a communications platform (call-center )
- trained and skilled operators,
- a lot of information about the products to maintain,
- a technology infrastructure to support all this,
- accommodation
- legal agreements 2nd line support,
- etc ...
As you can see a platform to support thousands of devices, with thousands of users, we put around a thousand locations, is very much far from being a simple thing to build and operate.
For it does not exist yet and have only begun to think about it.
Moreover, these devices are already being placed in schools. Who is to undertake an inventory of equipment and all its features.
Who is making that equipment is installed where? Serial number that had the equipment? What are their technical characteristics? That Manufacturer Model? What firmware? What configuration? That configuration was?
who hosted and gave the OK to install? etc, etc, etc. ....
Where you are registering this information will be made? On paper? In excel sheet? In Access databases or SQL?
For the love of god, then how and who retrieves this information?
also have not heard in the training plans for users! So if we take cars to people we should not teach driving first?
Such equipment in the hands of untrained personnel will not be too much use, because without proper training can not take full advantage of its potential. Is this the concept of the Government to increase productivity?!
Then we must bear in mind that equipment placed in the hands of people ill-prepared are much more exposed to impact because it increases the risk of breakdowns and desconfigurações (not to mention theft, vandalism, etc. ...).

Anyway, could extend me a little more, but the points made are enough to understand that we got the house through the roof.
The Government's Technological Plan began as a bad idea, since the favoring of certain technologies to the detriment of other agreements promiscuous that favor some technology companies, it now seems that is being poorly executed, beginning with the draft without answering the most basic needs.
It was born that is born crooked and twisted ....
Just pray that everything will compose and that in Portugal a few months is not the world leader in the statistics of schools full of electronic equipment damaged.
