Does anybody know if Florida Micro provides Iowa consortium pricing. Their 
sales rep keeps calling me and making threats that I have to buy from him 
because he is part of a state contract. Little does he know that by doing 
this he ensures that I will not buy from him.

I would sure appreciate any responses to the following
questions regarding student passwords when you get a chance


1.
What is your procedure when a student forgets their
logon password? Who handles this request?
THE REQUEST WOULD BE HANDLED BY MYSELF AND THE TECHNOLOGY STAFF.


2.
Do you maintain a list of student passwords, and if so,
who do you share that list with?  YES, STUDENTS ARE ASSIGNED A PASSWORD THAT IS 
RECORDED.  IT IS SELF GENERATED THOUGH OUR SIS SYSTEM.


3.
How often do you change student passwords?  THIS IS DONE BY REQUEST ONLY.



I am just curious what other districts are doing regarding
this problem. It's not a big deal at this point in the game, but it seems
to be an issue during the first few weeks of school and of course that is when
we are bombarded by a million other things.

re: [info-tech] Mini Computer Lab

[Keith Stoeber]

We have been using a portable lab K-5 for the last 5 years.  It really 
works well as we have someone responsible for the lab and makes sure that 
they are taken care of.  We also have portable labs that have been 
dismantled due to lack of supervision.  As for the computers in the room, 
that depends on the teachers.  I found very few used them other than when 
they did centers, so they just sat in the room.  We ended up pulling all of 
them out and now use just the portable lab.  If you have any questions let

I am asking thoughts from our aea and aea8 tech groups.

Would like to know your feelings on switching from a computer lab to mobile 
labs in a K-5 setting.  I really have mixed feelings and wanted to get more 
ideas from the group.  We currently have a lab of 24 desktops, we would 
take and put 3 in each section 3-5 in their classroom from the computer 
lab.  Our lab would be a lab of 24 minis on a cart.  Thanks for the 
feedback.  Have a great day.

- At what grade do you start giving students Internet access?  Our students 
have internet access on there own in 4th grade.  We have students that will use 
the internet at Kindergarden, but that is for our online programs in which we 
have a teacher and an aide in the room to monitor all activity.



2
-  We have accounts created for students in 3rd grade where they have internet 
access with parent permission.

Subject: [info-tech] Same Questions, different year...









Everyone-



I
have a few questions I would like to pose to the group for input.



1
- At what grade do you start giving students Internet access?  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 Town creation.  Give me your
thought, the discussions you have had, and we can kind of go from there.



Thanks
for your time and help.



Jeremy

Re: [info-tech] iPad pro/con

I talked with the Apple rep and he said that at this point they would not 
recommend to use it for a one to one.  It has its benefits and is not built 
for the laptop market.

Just an FYI:

I have moved my Intermapper system to our server room to ensure
continued monitoring in the event of a power outage in Fort Dodge.  With
the move I have also changed the IP address and port number of the
Intermapper Web server.

In an effort to bring all technical resources together to one spot I
have also been working on a new website portal for you to access
Intermapper and other tools.  The Web Portal is still a work in process
but does currently have links to our Trouble Ticket System, as well as
Intermapper.

To access the Technology Web Portal go to the URL www.ia-hsdn.net

We do not allow personal devices.  The reason is security, support, and

No, but we post it on our school website.  We looked into doing it that instead 
of sending it through the mail, but ran into an issue that we are required to 
give it to everyone in the district.  It would have cost us more to mail to 
individuals than our current bulk mailing rate.

I thought the problem with schoolalerts is they don't work with/ 
report to the news media . . .  ?  So you still have to make all  
those calls, too.  (Unless they've changed recently.)  I just looked  
into what Sarah sent out.  Do they then send your info on to the news  
(radio, TV)?  It appears that way on their home page.  Also a free  
server?

Currently we call local radio and TV stations and I put it on the web  
page.  From KCCI and WHO patrons could sign up for e-mail alerts as  
well and get them when we call.  I am hesitant to use JMC and send  
out a mass message . . .  primarily because I would have to get out  
of bed and drive to the closest building to do it. (But we do use it  
for lunch, reminders of early outs and other information). Are most  
moving towards the "alert" system format that does texts and e-mail,  
or still with the radio/TV.

I also sat in on a webinar last year for a school alert service (fee  
based)--I think $1-$2/student.  Not sure if that would be worth the $  
or not . . .  esp. when I think there are other initiatives I would  
like to use any funds that are available for.

We have not done a one to one, but have chosen to use the portable lab

with the network and have a part time aid to help.  I think anyone looking at a

Some of the hoops,

Do the teachers want this? It's like buying a dress for
your wife and she's not with you. We have about 1/3 of our books on the
tablets, but most of the teachers are still using the books.  Some of the ebooks
use an earlier version of Acrobat, which causes problems when we standardized
with version 8. (These publishers -vendors- insist that we use a CD in
every machine. Some vendors will push an web-base textbook, but if the student
lacks connections at home, then there's another problem.

 

Price- it's really not cheaper than books, I don't
have the numbers at hand. Currently software is still off the Silo tax list.

When I shared direction of the 1:1 with the listserv, one of the
questions was, "are you going to buy them a car as well?" 
Looking back, the car idea would have been better.

We have 170 students with
laptops, plus the staff. Teaching Special Education full-time, I try to focus
on Network issues, we have a tech(paid at the level of an aide)  that deal
only with the desktop and repair. Yes, this will be quite an undertaking.

implementation of such a thing with only 1 tech person. The district is also

re: [info-tech] Web page printing

[Keith Stoeber]

When printing in Safari select print and then change the third dropdown 
box(Copies & Pages) to Safari and on that page you have a check box that says 
"Print webpage information in headers and footers"

Subject: [info-tech] Web page printing 

Is is possible to alter or turn off the header and footer that prints when you 
print a web page from the Mac? I've always altered these settings on a PC, but 
I can't find a place to do that on the Mac. Do different browsers help?

Thanks!

Re: [info-tech] Today's tech meeting

[Keith Stoeber]

Murry, 

Here is Lightspeeds Requirements

Single Pentium 4 Processor (2.4 ghz+) for networks running up to 10 Mbps of 
traffic or Dual Pentium 4 processor (2.4ghz+) for networks running over 10 Mbps 
of traffic.
 
4 GB RAM Recommended - 2.0 GB RAM minimum (supported for legacy servers; will 
require SQL Server tuning adjustments - see Q10378) 

8 GB recommended contiguous disk-storage (single disk - available space) - 4 GB 
minimum (will limit report storage and performance)

This is what we are using and it runs well.

Re: [info-tech] power back up

[Keith Stoeber]

Jackie,

I still use battery backups.  We have been looking into a building UPS system, 
but have not found a good solution.  Our solution now is to bring more power 
into the areas that seem to have low voltage.  We still keep backups on all 
critical equiptment.

[info-tech] Assessment Software

[Keith Stoeber]

Does anyone use or know of online software to create and administer tests and 
quizes?  Multiple choice, fill in the blank, and short answer are most of the 
types of questions they would like.

[info-tech] Computer Labs

[Keith Stoeber]

I would like to get some feedback on what schools are doing to monitor computer labs.  
Do you use a person or software?  What procedures do you have in a open lab as 
students leaving a classroom?

Thanks

[info-tech] Questions on staff computers

[Keith Stoeber]

Our school district is installing new computers for the staff.  I would like to know 
how other schools handle this.  We have discussed policies and if we should allow 
teachers to install software.  Give me some input as to what your school district 
does. 

Thanks
