Re: [info-tech] Snowcap
YES, same problem. The schoolalerts.iowa.gov alerts worked as advertised, though. Jim Frerichs, Chad cfreri...@okoboji.k12.ia.us 1/25/2010 12:33 PM We experienced yet more Snowcap issues today even after they promised it was fixed. I am wondering if others experienced the same issues. I am also wondering what service the AEA uses because that seems to work. Thanks, Chad Frerichs Director of Technology Okoboji Community Schools

Re: [info-tech] Snowcap
We are doing our alerts in-house. I did not have much to do with the setup, but it does seem to work well. Our site is http://resources.aea8.k12.ia.us/alerts What I know is that it is Wordpress with an add-on to Subscribe by SMS. The benefit is that when alerts are triggered the server only processes the subscribers to our alerts. The bad news is that if the server goes down, or we loose Internet connectivity alerts will not go out. Although our server is on backup generator and linked to two separate ISPs. If you want more details let me know and I will see if I can get them on the list.
