 There are many obvious emergency situations that PI 2 was designed to handle. However, the ability of PI 2 help you to be on top of things in the most unforeseen situations is what makes it the most valuable tool.
During the last three years of PI marketing, GICSOFT was confronted with the following common situations where our portable solution made a difference for school and district users. We would like to give you some vivid examples of how School and District users utilize mobile functionality.
School Users:
 |
Let's begin by stating that various school personnel can have access to school information if there is no computer access in the room. PI 2 puts the power of a pc running an SIS onto your mobile device, in your hand, wherever you go. |
|
Teachers and administrators can have access to emergency contacts and medical alerts while going on a field trip, in the gym, recess, during outdoor events, after school events, and more. This simply can mean life or death in certain situations and also helps school personnel to be more responsive. For example, if an accident happened on the football field, then the principal or even coach carrying emergency data on their handheld device could notify parents or guardians of an accident, pull up the information as to what hospital should be contacted to handle the situation and tell medical staff of immunization and medical alerts for the student to avoid potential disasters.
|
|
Mobility gives school officials like administrators, resource officers, and school monitors the ability to be more efficient by having access to student schedules, photos, and discipline records at their finger tips while walking around school hallways. For example, an administrator walking around the hallway notices that a student does not belong. The administrator can therefore immediately pull up the picture of the student to identify who it is and find the corresponding class schedule so that appropriate action can be taken. Or if someone parked in the wrong place such as the fire lane or principal's space, a school resource officer can then search for a car tag or parking permit and find the violator.
|
|
Bus drivers and administrators can now have access to transportation data that can be useful in the following situations: prevent children boarding the incorrect bus, attendance record notifies bus driver that the child is out of school for the week or is being picked up by family members, medical alerts in case of seizures, allergies and other urgent health emergencies.
|
|
Administrators can rapidly identify transportation information at the point of action. For example, principal is attending the bus boarding area and finds a child who is distraught and lost. The principal can solve this situation by pulling up the transportation schedule for the student and escort the student to the correct bus or car without leaving the rest of the students unattended, therefore increasing his involvement and safety.
|
|
Special Ed coordinators can have access to basic diagnostics history, schedule, and teacher information while working in the field.
|
|
In detention where computers are rarely available, teachers can see detention and suspension schedules.
|
|
If school electricity has ceased working, school professionals can still gain access to the needed SIS data (like schedules, class rosters, and other data) while continuing to operate uninterrupted.
|
|
Teachers can track attendance and grading on handheld devices without the need to write down grades and reenter them if a computer is not available in the classroom or on the field trip.
|
|
Administrators and homeroom teachers can have access to student locker codes.
|
|
During parent-teacher conferences, student attendance/discipline records can be quickly retrieved so that the subject can be addressed accordingly.
|
|
Media Center and Support Staff can have all inventory information at their hand when conducting inventory counts. |
District Users:
 |
During after-hours events, district administrator can have emergency contacts, medical alerts and other student information at hand to quickly respond to emergencies.
|
|
School District Nurses can access medical information and schedule of students to have all needed information when traveling between schools.
|
|
District attendance coordinators can have addresses and phone numbers of all district parents when visiting absentees at their homes.
|
|
Facility administrators that are rarely working at their desk now can access information regarding absent teachers and school personnel without the need to receive multiple e-mails or phone calls from schools.
|
|
IT staff has full control over deployment of mobile applications. Using our simple web-based interface, IT users can create mobile applications and share them with any district employee or instantly revoke the rights to access any data on handhelds.
|
|
District Administrators can have all reports from SIS available in their hands during staff meetings or when working from remote locations. For example, an administrator went out of town to a conference but still can conduct a conference call with the staff to discuss important topics with subordinates by having access to the critical data from anywhere.
|
|
IT and support staff can have teacher related information while working on maintenance and support projects to find out the schedule of various classrooms.
|
|
IT and support staff can have all computer inventory including: serial numbers, list of software installed on computers, and others at their fingertips while working on various maintenance projects.
|
|
In case of emergency, district staff can have employee emergency contacts at hand to quickly respond to the situation.
|
Many other situations often require instant access to various school data, and having real-time or offline mobile access would mean quicker response in emergency situations resulting in time and perhaps even lives saved.
