Each elementary building also has one of the syncing cases to use to sync apps to their iPod Touches. I also have purchased iTunes gift cards for each grade level so they can purchase apps. With the home sharing feature in iTunes they can purchase apps and share them with one another across grade levels. (I also receive the receipt each time they purchase something -- a must) Basically, each grade level is responsible for managing their classroom set of iPod Touches. Currently we have around 70 Touches with another 20 + some iPads on the way. Below are the apps I have purchased/downloaded to use for demos with staff. Some of my favorites as well as staff favorites are the ABA apps, Alien Math, Learn Sight Words (dolche word list practice-- it's awesome), Spelldown, iWriteWords, US States.

[info-tech] ITEC 2 Weeks Away
TEC 2010 is less than two weeks away! ITEC 2010 (October 10-12 in Coralville) is almost here! We have over 100 sessions to attend, and more than 80 vendors who will be set up in the exhibit hall on Monday and Tuesday of the conference to show off their new products and, in many cases, give away a lot of cool stuff! ITEC is pleased to feature seven conference sponsors, including Bradfields, Bytespeed, Communication Innovators, Mindwrap, Microsoft, MNJ Technologies, and Mediacom. A variety of hardware, software, productivity and engaging products will be showcased, as well as universities highlighting their educational technology programs. Video archives Can you be in two places at once? Did you get a phone call during a workshop and miss a point or question? Were you harvesting wheat in Farmville instead of paying attention to the keynote speaker? ITEC has a great solution to these common problems: video archives of breakouts and keynotes. Through the help of the Webster City Student TV producers, ITEC is able to offer video archives of passed ITEC conference workshops. Selected breakout sessions and keynotes from the 2009 ITEC conference can be found at ITEC's Blip.tv site: http://itec-iowa.blip.tv/posts?view=archivensfw=dc. Starting this year, through the partnership with WCTV, ITEC conference breakout sessions and keynotes will be available through the iTunes music store! As the workshops are processed, they will be posted to http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/iowa-technology-education/id394734751 and can be subscribed to so the updates are brought directly to your computer. (Note: some keynotes may be left off due to copyright conflicts, and all sessions will take a few days to process, but will be posted in a timely fashion.) Group registration discounts are available More information about the conference is available at http://www.itec-ia.org/, and you can register online at http://www.itec-ia.org/en/conference/registration/. For group discounts, contact Jeff Sypersma (jsyper...@nwaea.org). Workshops Over 300 seats have been filled at the ITEC workshops, but there are still some available! If you have a particular workshop you have been considering, get registered today as some workshops have just a few seats left. On the other hand, enrollment is critical to meet minimum required attendance for a couple of workshops--don't let the workshop relative to your assignment slip through your hands! Registration for workshops (on Sunday only) is available at: http://www.itec-ia.org/en/conference/registration_and_schedule/ Notification of workshop status (full or cancelled) will continue to be updated at that same site.

[info-tech] Point2Point Wireless
I need to get a Wi-fi signal to the bus barn. It is about 150 yards from the elementary to the Bus barn. We have been using an old Linksys Wap11 Wireless hub to send the signal through a window and then connects to a Wireless to Wired bridge with an antenna that is poking through the wall of the buss barn. So I need to be able to send a RELIABLE signal to the bus barn for the transportation director. The computer in the barn has a wi-fi card so we could skip the bridge, but the barn is made of metal.

Re: [info-tech] Intangible Asset Policy
So the big question is, is the threshold the TOTAL or is it PER title.

Once I got the findings from USAC, (fall of 2009) at the next board meeting I did the public hearing. They want to know what day the public notice was put out (which we don't have that date, just according to law it must be 24 hours prior to meeting) and then minutes from the meeting. I did ask if I was suppose to do this every year and the guy didn't think so, but you need to keep the record of when you did it so if they ask, you have that. So long story short - if you have not had a public meeting and it needs to specifically state in the minutes that you talked about internet safety and CIPA compliance, then you better do it at the next board meeting.

Re: [info-tech] First 18 hours with an IPad...
Congratulations, you have poked me with a stick enough times to illicit a response. This review had no purpose and was unsolicited. This list exists to answer questions, support and learn, not o offer opinions on products unless asked for. http://www.pcworld.com/article/195320/is_hps_slate_dead.html Your precious Slate might be DBA (Dead Before Arrival). In your review of this product did you download and use the Pages, Keynote, or Numbers, all productivity tools? Also, it is no big secret that you are an unabashed Apple hater so how may I ask were you objective? Is the iPad (or any other product) perfect, heck no. Comparing a product IN YOUR HAND to a product THAT DOES NOT EXIST is a pointless argument. Can you do that same things on an iPad you can do on a laptop, no. The iPad is a MOBILE device and NOT a computer. Can your Blackberry edit videos, upload to google docs, read books to you, edit pictures in photshop, or run Windows 7 NO it is a freakin mobile device. Next issue, did you even look at the tools available to deploy and control the administrative side of an iPad? The Wifi iPad goes through the same filters as all my computers when it is here on campus. Why is it so bad that a kid might spend some time looking at YouTube videos? (Different Diatribe for a different day) Now on to the next issue. It is not our job to decide what should and shouldn't be used in education, it is our job to listen to what is needed and make it happen. Even if the request is technically difficult or even requires a change in firewall policies. We are here to support education and the staff that has been hired to educate. We are not the gate keepers saying what can or will be done. I suggest, discuss, and implore but ultimately it is not my say. I want to unblock Facebook but my board says no, so I have to listen. Last bit, this is an archived and posted on the internet listserv so your comment about the retarded kids will now go down in all Internet history, which as an educator first I am embarrassed for you.

Before we get into this, understand this is an honest no holds barred review. I will use some rough and possibly insulting language, but if you read it with an open mind, I think there is some valuable information, even if it is presented rather vividly. I will likely be submitting this same review word for word to Amazon and some other sites. A few years back, there was a kid who was about 14 who had an IQ of about 40, but he could listen to a piece of music once and be able to play it on a piano note for note. This ability really made him kind of cool, but at the end of the day, you just can't escape that he's still retarded. That's the Ipad in a nutshell. Despite that, I am giving this a solid buy recommendation for schools. If that makes no sense, read on, and it will. If I try to compare this to windows 7, and I will, it's kinda worthless. The HP Slate is coming out in a couple months, and it will do everything that an IPad does, and everything that a windows 7 laptop does, and costs less, or about the same actually. If you are a computer geek, like me, then the slate is a much better product. But we use the Kindle here a lot. Mainly the kindle is used is

I think HP and Dell will likely be forced by their MS relationships to abandon Linux OS choices (Android, WebOS, ChromeOS), and instead try to shove 7 on these tablets. Every one of these will fail because none of them have whipped Linux completely into shape, whereas Apple has had sufficient time to get BSD Unix (Mac OS X, iPhone OS) to be friendly enough for my 2 year old to use it. I also believe Apple will have the entire education industry eating out of their hands once again if/when they produce a centralized management solution for iPad distribution and control, as well as curriculum and all educational textbooks. This may well be on its' way, and if it isn't, the guy that builds it will be stinking rich. -Original Message- From: McKenney, Kurt [mailto:kmcken...@schaller-crest.k12.ia.us] Sent: Friday, April 30, 2010 11:17 AM To: info-tech@aea8.k12.ia.us Subject: RE: [info-tech] First 18 hours with an IPad... I would disagree. First of all, Palm can't compete for a lot of reasons, their OS is one of them. But they do have manufacturing and distribution channels for cell phone type devices and quick start technology for use in the same. If HP uses an OS other than windows 7 I would expect chrome or another linux based system. As for battery life, I'm actually not seeing that as an issue. Apple solved it by taking an Ipod touch, expanding the size of the device, and using a bigger battery. As for the Current Ipad, it does in fact offer some benefits. Such as easy access admin rights limited to the machine without a full login, that is possible under windows, but it is actually more cumbersome. It does beat he Kindle hands down on everything but battery life. Now, as for people upset that I am giving an unsolicited review, get over it. It's tnot he first time that someone has submitted an unsolicited review, and for that matter it is not the first time the Ipad has been discussed by the people here. It is not the last time we will discuss it either I suspect, and the ability to have someone who has one in hand actually talk about it, give impressions about it, and answer questions seems like a good idea. -Original Message- From: info-tech-ow...@aea8.k12.ia.us [mailto:info-tech-ow...@aea8.k12.ia.us] On Behalf Of Brendan Porter Sent: Friday, April 30, 2010 10:55 AM To: info-tech@aea8.k12.ia.us Subject: RE: [info-tech] First 18 hours with an IPad... On top of that, with HP's purchase of Palm, you can bet the WebOS will be what they put on any mobile devices so they can compete with Apple's battery life of 10+ hours. Windows 7 hasn't got a chance. So if you don't get an iPad with all of the developer and community support behind it, you can choose Android, WebOS, or poor battery life.

Every one of these will fail because none of them have whipped Linux completely into shape, whereas Apple has had sufficient time to get BSD Unix (Mac OS X, iPhone OS) to be friendly enough for my 2 year old to use it. I also believe Apple will have the entire education industry eating out of their hands once again if/when they produce a centralized management solution for iPad distribution and control, as well as curriculum and all educational textbooks.

I would disagree. First of all, Palm can't compete for a lot of reasons, their OS is one of them. But they do have manufacturing and distribution channels for cell phone type devices and quick start technology for use in the same. If HP uses an OS other than windows 7 I would expect chrome or another linux based system. As for battery life, I'm actually not seeing that as an issue. Apple solved it by taking an Ipod touch, expanding the size of the device, and using a bigger battery. As for the Current Ipad, it does in fact offer some benefits. Such as easy access admin rights limited to the machine without a full login, that is possible under windows, but it is actually more cumbersome. It does beat he Kindle hands down on everything but battery life. Now, as for people upset that I am giving an unsolicited review, get over it. It's tnot he first time that someone has submitted an unsolicited review, and for that matter it is not the first time the Ipad has been discussed by the people here. It is not the last time we will discuss it either I suspect, and the ability to have someone who has one in hand actually talk about it, give impressions about it, and answer questions seems like a good idea. -Original Message- From: info-tech-ow...@aea8.k12.ia.us [mailto:info-tech-ow...@aea8.k12.ia.us] On Behalf Of Brendan Porter Sent: Friday, April 30, 2010 10:55 AM To: info-tech@aea8.k12.ia.us Subject: RE: [info-tech] First 18 hours with an IPad...

Re: [info-tech] Electronic Devices
I didn't intend for that to sound a snarky as it did, so let me rephrase it... If we spent half the time educating teachers/students/parents as we did plugging holes our jobs would be a lot less hectic. I have gotten to the point now, if someone points out a proxy site that is unblocked, I just tell the staff to have the kid get off the site and watch them, end of story. If I wanted to I could spend my day tracking down proxies and blocking sites, but that would suck so I choose not too. Karl H.

Our elementaries would like to not have to log in to computers as “special” internet accounts, they just want the Internet to work for them. Our current practice would require someone to log the computer in with an account that would have Internet access. I assume that whatever your situation is, you expect the teacher to still supervise their use. 2 – At what grade do you start giving kids their own personal login, with a home directory and internet access. We are doing home directories at 5th grade, and Internet access at 7th grade. 3 – Facebook. We have 3 interested groups ready and wanting to create a Facebook group or a Facebook Page for their specific group. We have talked about privacy, and what kids post about themselves there and how we as District employees are mandatory reporters. From my limited playing of Facebook, I cannot limit access to specific facebook site, it is either give them (staff only, not students) access to Facebook or not. All or none. Their thinking in wanting to create a Facebook page is because that is what the kids are doing, when they aren’t at school. My concern is the privacy and lost work time with people maintaining their personal Facebook, Mafia War or Farm Towncreation. Give me your thought, the discussions you have had, and we can kind of go from there. Thanks for your time and help.

Re: [info-tech] 1:1
Going to agree with TIm on this. 1) We did a survey of our students before the roll out and found out that 96% of our students had internet at home, now some of those are just dial-up but not many. 2) Also we spoke with the public libraries in the communities that make up our district and made sure they had wireless there (all did , but we planned on putting a wireless router into the buildings if they did not). 3) At the roll outs we also had a variety of local ISPs here to meet with families in case they wanted to upgrade or change their current internet status at home. 4) Lastly we made sure that the wireless was powerful enough to work in the student parking lot.

One of the reasons for a 1:1 is to take learning outside the classroom and outside the school day, and that can’t happen if lots of your students can’t access the internet at home. Second, if you find that a good portion of your students’ homes don’t have internet access, the school may want to partner with a local internet provider to help remedy that situation. At our rollout, representatives from our local ISP set up a booth and offered a deal on high speed internet for new customers. Many people took advantage of that deal.

As a classroom teacher, I would have loved to use the immediate feed-back and evaluation that is possible with 1:1. There are many other positives. But I see one possible negative. From the comments that I have heard during the last couple of days, it sounds like most let the kids take the units home. How about the kids with no internet access at home? At first blush, it looks like this creates an even larger uneven playing field for the disadvantaged. Is this a problem and if so, how has it been addressed by those already involved with 1:1?
