Re: [info-tech] MAP test ?

Jackie,
The reports site from nwea should keep the old data. After the map tests 
end and I have uploaded all the data I archive the data by copying it 
into another folder so that the NTE folder is empty and ready for the 
downloads the next time we test.

Good morning!  Quick MAP test question for those who use this test:

We took our first year of testing this year.  In looking at testing for

schedule/advisors . . .  and because this is our first year -- I'm not 
sure of how it would look for next year.  I know that data will follow

Hope this makes sense.

the number of arrays they said we needed. Turns out that we need

All this talk about Joomla got me wondering.

 

We have a separate INTRANET for staff we use webGUI.  What are others 
doing for intranet?  Joomla?


 

We’d like to  create a repository for classroom content and resources.  
Here’s what I envision happening.


A teacher puts together a lesson or group of resources for a lesson and 
saves it (any type of file – including Interactive whiteboard, html, 
responders, anything)


They go to a website that allows them to answer a few simple questions 
(via dropdown) like grade, subject and type (resource, lesson plan, 
notebook file, etc.)


Then a browse button that allows them to upload the file from their 
desktop to a server.


 

The files that are on this server then populate a separate website that 
is categorized by grade, subject and type so teachers can lookup what 
other teachers around our district are doing. (no sense in recreating 
the wheel)


We could also used this repository as a way to publish common 
assessments.  Would this be a sharepoint thing?  Is anyone doing 
anything like this?

Jeremy,

Sounds awesome! The Sonicwall we own   is rated for home and small business and 
is beginning to show its age and is   bottle necking our internet at different 
time of the day when the firewall CPU   maxes out at 100%. Our need for more 
internet increases yearly as more of the   educational process moves to the 
internet. We are finally moving toward   providing remote access to teachers 
and are looking at ways to extend the   campus for students.

Add to that ICN internet outages and the whole   mess begins to hamper the 
educational process.

make sure you are connecting your JMC office mac's to the server using

We still sometimes have a problem and need to shut down one of the mac's 
but it only happens a few times a year.

Happy Friday All. Ok, so I have a student that has created a "Roller

site here at school.  I have tried getting to it from a computer that 
sits outside of our firewall with no success.  We use a SonicWall and I 
have freerider in the allowed domains, and I have checked to see that 
the IP is not being blocked by the firewall. I used NSlookup to find the 
IP for the site (75.127.118.212) and cross-checked with the blocked Ip 
ranges and still no luck.  The site doesn't show up as blocked (No 
blocked message it just does't load) What I need to know is can you get 
to the site, and any ideas on how I can get this site open.

Re: [info-tech] Best Buy Return Policy

[Bill Day]

I have had similar problems with Best Buy. They even tried to tell me 
that unless I purchased the extended warranty they would not take the 
item back under any circumstances.

   Passing this on

   Snopes said this is true.

 

   BEST BUYS BAD RETURN POLICY (THIS IS TRUE, READ BACK OF 
RECEIPT)


 

 

 


Best Buy has some bad policies

Normally, I would not share this with others, However, since this could 
happen to you or your friends , I decided to share it. If you purchase 
something from, Wal-Mart, Sam's Club, JC Penny, Sears etc., and you 
return the item with the receipt, they will give you your money back if 
you paid cash, or credit your account if paid by plastic.


Well, I purchased a GPS for my car, a Tom Tom XLS from "Best Buy". They 
have a policy that it must be returned within 14 days for a refund.  So, 
after 4 days I returned it in the original box with all the items in the 
box, with paper work and cords all wrapped in the plastic just as I 
received it, including the receipt.  I explained to the lady at the 
return desk I didn't like the way it could not find store names. The 
lady at the refund desk said there is a 15% restock fee for items 
returned. I sa id no one told me that and I asked how much would that 
be. She said it goes by the price of the item and it will be $45.00 for 
you. I said, all you're going to do is walk over and place it back on 
the shelf then charge me $45.00 of my money for restocking!! She said 
that's the store policy.


 

I said if more people were aware of this policy they would not buy 
anything here! If I bought a $2000.00 computer or TV and returned it, I 
would be charged $300.00 for a restock fee!! She said yes, 15%.  I said 
OK, just give me my money minus the restock fee. She said that since the 
item is over $200.00 she can't give me my money back!!!   Corporate has 
to and they will mail you a check in 7 to ten days.!!   I said "WHAT?!" 
It's my money!! I paid in cash! I want to buy a different brand and now 
I have to wait 7 to 10 days. She said well, our policy is on the back of 
your receipt.  I said, do you read the front or back of your receipt? 
She said well, the front! I said so do I and I want to talk to the Manager!



So the manager came over and I explained everything to him. He said, 
well sir, they should have told you about the policy when you got the 
item. I said, no one has ever told me about the check refund or restock 
fee whenever I bought items, from computers to TVs, from Best Buy. The 
only thing they ever discussed was the worthless extended warranty 
program. He said, well, I can give you the corporate phone number.


I called corporate. The guy said, well, I'm not supposed to do this, but 
I can give you a $45.00 gift card and you can use it at Best Buy.  I 
told him if I bought something and returned it, you would charge me a 
restock fee on the item and then send me a check for the remaining $38. 
You can keep your gift card, I'm never shopping in Best Buy ever again 
and, if I would have been smart, I w ould have charged the whole thing 
on my credit card! Then I would have canceled the transaction.


I would have gotten all my money back including your stupid fees! He 
didn't say a word!


I informed him that I was going to e-mail my friends and give them a 
heads up on this store's policy as they don't tell you about all their 
little caveats. So please pass this on. It may save you or your friends 
from having a bad experience shopping at Best Buy.


From the Best Buy web page:

"Restocking Fee:  A 15% restocking fee will be charged on opened 
notebook computers, projectors, camcorders, digital cameras, radar 
detectors, GPS/navigation and in-car video systems. A 25% restocking fee 
will be charged on special order products, including appliances. These 
fees apply unless the item is defective or damaged, you receive the 
wrong item, or the fee is prohibited by law."

others in the community to use our computer labs.

Hi,

Would like your help with these questions:

Does your school allow a group of adults to use the School Computer Labs?

If this is allowed, are there any guidelines, supervision, AUPs, etc?

Does anyone have a policy concerning the use of the School Computer Labs

We need to clarify this situation for our district.

unplug extension. This will allow you to save the flv file. Then either 
play it with wimpy player


http://www.wimpyplayer.com/products/wimpy_standalone_flv_player.html

or use isquint

http://www.isquint.org/

to convert it to an mp4 and play with quicktime or itunes.

Re: [info-tech] Configuring Ubuntu to connect to Windows 2003 domain

[Bill Day]

Mark,
I have also been trying out Ubuntu and have the same problem. The only 
way I have found to logon to our fileserver is to tunnel down using :


Places
network
windows network
(domain name)
(server name)
then a box pops up
put in username and password (do not change what is in the domain box)
then you can access your folder on the file server

I would like to just logon to the domain the same way the windows 
machines do when they boot but so far haven't found a way to do that as 
I know almost nothing about linux.

sorry I couldn't be of more help,
Bill Day

Have a Great Thanksgiving.

Re: [info-tech] You Tube wacker

[Bill Day]

firefox has a web browser add on called unplug that lets you save 
youtube video as an flv file (firefox and the unplug add on work on 
mac's pc's and linux. vlc is a flv video player that is free and will 
work with mac's pc's and linux. So use firefox to go to youtube click on 
the unplug icon to download the file and then use vlc to play it.


or if you are using a mac you can download a free program called tubetv 
that will search youtube for the video you want save the youtube video 
and convert it for ipod and transfer it into your itunes all in one program.

[Bill Day]

Chad,
We use ours for file storage of large video files. It does have two usb 
ports to attach drives you could use for backup.

Guys and Gals,

I have also been looking into such solutions and I am wondering if you
use these things for file storage do you back them up, and if so how?
Or, do you use them as your backups?

We use a Buffalo Terastation which we purchased from CDWG.com.
It comes in several sizes and meets all your specs plus it was cheap --

Subject: [info-tech] Meeting Tomorow @ Pocahontas

Just a reminder that our Info-Tech meeting will be Thursday May 17th at
the Prairie Lakes Pocahontas office.

Our agenda will be a little more flexible than usual, but here is what I
have so far

9-10am - Open Discussion Time.
10-11:30 - Trouble Ticket Discussion.  I will talk about the benefits
for all schools to use some sort of trouble ticket system.  We will also
review ticket systems districts are currently using.  District
presentations encouraged.

11:30 - Lunch - Open discussion on district summer plans.  Lets talk
about what projects you will be working on this summer.

1-2 - Prairie Lakes updates on "Longhorn Roadshow" and Interop.  We can
also use this time to discuss Web CMS systems.

2-3 - SquidNT - Web reporting, content filtering.  Jason will talk about
how he has implemented SquidNT at districts to track user web history
and how to implement free content filtering for districts.  Jason will
also cover how to install and configure on your network.

I do plan on having this available via Polycom and Video stream as well

Re: [info-tech] history--Safari

[Bill Day]

Jackie,
I have a way but it is not easy. first open history.plist
(When I click on it - it opens with omnioutliner)
look in the key, web history dates, lastvisited date.
it will show a number such as 200844812,9
you will need an app to convert this to a date that makes sense to us 
poor mortals. you can get it from the website below. it is called 
CFAbsoluteTimeConverter



http://www.hsoi.com/hsoishop/software/

run the converter and then put in the number from the history.plist 
click on the convert button and you will see the date and time.


I hope someone out there has an easier way.

in my sonicwall under security services, content filtering is a restrict

Unfortunately, I do not see a way to avoid the subscription based
services here.  Our filter list has grown from 250 MB 2 years ago to
almost 750 MB this year, and still growing.  We do not use all of
the filters, but it just shows how much garbage has been added to
the net in the last couple of years.  These remote proxies have been
a real pain.  Even if you block the popular ones like the ones you
mentioned, myspaceproxy1.com, etc., we have had at least
one student figure out how to set up a remote proxy on his home
computer.  Try as we may, they will find ways around it

I've been updating the firewall of late, adding a few more urls, and
perhaps in futile attempts.

 


Take a look at atunnel.com.

Hopefully your filters block this one without any effort on your
part, but there seems to be a entire industry of webpages designed
to punch holes through most filters. I also did a search and found
out that a-ztunnel.com (all 26 of them created holes to use, as well
as 1-9tunnel.com). Did a search on similar site as atunnel.com and
found another 50 or so listed, some were blocked by the filter,
others needed to be added manually... I see a vision of the little
Dutch boy not knowing which hole to plug.. And I'm not even dutch.

 


Hopefully your appliance/software is a little smarter than mine.

 


All for now,

Re: [info-tech] Bios Password

[Bill Day]

In the good old days when I sold sanyo computers there were 3 ways to 
reset the bios password. You could put a jumper cable around the bios 
battery to drain it(very hard on the battery), some models had a jumper 
on the motherboard near the battery that did the same thing, and all 
models had a backdoor password that only the manufacturer was supposed 
to know that they eventually gave me.

When I tried to instal JMC on Rick's computer, I was able to set
everything up.  When I went to send a grade to the office, I got an
input/output error of 48.

Thanks,
Liz

Hello everyone,

Realm Systems is close to rolling out their "Pocket Server" product.  I have
been talking about the Realm solution since Interop 2004 where I first saw
the product.  Basically the "Pocket Server" is a computer about the size of
an IPod that utilizes the monitor, keyboard, and mouse on a host computer.
The Host computer can be Windows, Mac, or Linux.

If you are interested in learning more Realm would like to host a web
meeting sometime the week of April 3rd.  During the meeting Realm will demo
the product and discuss the options to pilot the product in a K12
environment.  I have been told that a Pilot project could start as early as
April 2006.  Let me know if you want to participate and I will set up the
meeting.

Thanks.
