Louise-Schroeder-Gymnasium - ICT

ICT

The Louise-Schroeder-Gymnasium was one of the first schools in Munich to grant students access to the internet via Broadband. At about the same time, the school also installed its own server where students, teachers, parents and anyone interested can access various information about the school. Various servers were also added later.

In Autumn 2003 the school network was completely changed, with the rest of Munich following suit. In the course of this conversion all computers (among other things) were replaced by new devices from T-Systems, as well as configuring the network so that maintenance by "PIK" (Projekt Information Kommunikation) technicians could be completed remotely. Despite this conversion, it has multiple servers alongside Munich's main server due to the high technical demands and requirements of the school.

The following servers currently exist at the Louise-Schroeder-Gymnasium:

• Web Server with Microsoft Windows 2000 Server and IIS software with Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions.
• Terminal Server with Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, that also acts as a time server.
• Linux server with Debian 3.1 ("sarge") and the Apache HTTP Server 1.3, PHP, MySQL and WebDAV
• Linux server with SuSE Linux, the Apache HTTP Server, the Proxy server Squid, the Mail Transfer Agent Postfix, POP3 - and IMAP-Server Courier and a Samba Domain controller. This server is responsible for the educational network, which is administrated by Munich.

On the server that is administered by the school’s own group of administrators (which consists of pupils from almost every year group), every student and teacher has their own space on it, which can be used to their disposal. However for safety reasons, these spaces can only be seen by fellow students of the school.

For students interested in ICT there is the option of having an account on the Linux server. This server is publicly accessible, and as well as web space, offers PHP and MySQL support.

There are currently four computer rooms with 26, 16, 15 and 10 student work stations respectively. In addition, every class room is equipped with provisions to access the school network. Video projectors are installed in many classrooms, which can be used by teachers to give presentations; for the remaining classrooms there are portable projectors available.
