Moscow authorities promise to deploy free WiFi in 300 schools by the end of the year,
Vedomosti writes. On the one hand, the idea is good - Wi-Fi is now built into anything and deploying it is
relatively cheap . But will it not be a distraction for schoolchildren to get on the Internet right in the classroom (at a good speed, for free - they will surely come in, this is not 3G, for which you have to pay). And instead of the benefit and simplification of learning, will students be distracted from this knowledge? In England, for example, on the contrary, Wi-Fi is removed from schools (albeit
because of a rather contrived preposition ).
How to be - to implement Wi-Fi in schools or not? Immediately register access restrictions so that only learning resources are available? Is the Internet only during change?
But in hospitals Wi-Fi may well be useful. But - only after they introduce electronic medical records and equip staff with Wi-Fi tablets. Or do our officials want to deploy Wi-Fi so that it is not boring to pass the time in the queue to the doctor?
It would be great to hear from a respected audience.
