[info-tech] Inspiration and inspire data software
I have recently become aware of the incredible uses for this software in the classroom, especially as more and more teachers are using projectors and smartboards. Are there others out there using Inspiration and Inspire data? How are they using it and what kind of curriculum goals are they meeting with this technology? Here's a link to some quick overviews of their software Inspire data: http://www.inspiration.com/quicktours/index.cfm?fuseaction=inspiredata_Q T Inspiration: http://www.inspiration.com/quicktours/index.cfm?fuseaction=Insp_Quicktou r_QT Also, are there any members of this list service who have a blog or website about technology integration curriculum that they publish too or even read on a regular basis? Thanks for your feedback. Layne Henn Technology Integration Sioux City Schools
[info-tech] Jump Drives
All, I am curious as to what other school districts policies are concerning the use of Jump / Flash drives on school computers. Is this allowed by students / staff? Do you have specific polices in place for their use? How are executables installed on these devices handled so they are not run on school computers? I have staff asking about the use of these and I am reluctant to allow them so far. Thank you Dan Davis Network Administrator Spirit Lake Comm.

If you do not allow this how are your students taking things like Powerpoints etc. home to work on them?

RE: [info-tech] Jump Drives
Hi Layne, How is your Group Policy configured to disallow executables. What items in Group Policy do you configure to do this this?

We also have a student file system (internal only) where students can log in and have access to 100mb of storage on a server. The system is home-grown with linux os. It links to our sis, so every student has an account. As far as executables, we use group policy from our windows servers to disallow student logins the ability to run executables or access to any system files.

RE: [info-tech] Jump Drives
Tony- I think with group policy you can turn on a setting that will only allow you to run executables that you physically put in the list. So, once you turn it on, nothing works until you start populating the allow list in group policy.

We don't block executables, we just block access to files for user logins that are not administrators. We are deploying lightspeed in our district as well which will give more control. I can find out more about what items in Group Policy we do configure.
