ANDOVER, Mass., Dec. 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Enterasys Networks, a Siemens Enterprise Communications Company, today announced it will participate in an online webinar on Tuesday, December 6 at 2 p.m. EST in conjunction with District Administration magazine.  Enterasys, partnering with its customers Anderson County Schools (KY) and Twin Rivers Unified School District (CA), will cut through the confusion surrounding wireless technology in the classroom and provide examples of technology-rich curriculum supported by robust wireless networks.

The panelist will cover important topics to consider in any wireless deployment:

• Key decisions and requirements for planning for pervasive wireless in schools
• Setting goals and deliverables around educational initiatives like digital curriculum, online testing, 1:1 programs and BYOD initiatives
