RE: [info-tech] Quick Survey - Student Accounts
1. What is your procedure when a student forgets their logon password? Who handles this request? I handle the password resets. If a student forgets they come see me in my office. Or leave me a note. 2. Do you maintain a list of student passwords, and if so, who do you share that list with? Just with a list of passwords is all. 3. How often do you change student passwords? Once a year.

Subject: [info-tech] May Info-Tech Meeting
Our May meeting is this Thursday 5/6/2010 at Fort Dodge. At this time I
have no vendors scheduled so the agenda will be
10am - ?? Open discussion time. I would like to use this time for
discussions on what your district did this year, and is planning on doing
next year. I will give an update on Interop, and share the Swag I picked
up from the show. This will also be a good time to discuss where everyone
is at on the MS settlement application. We can define other subject areas
at the meeting.
Please RSVP if you are attending or not. Weather permitting we will try to
Grill, but I would like a count so I know how much food to have.
Thanks.

RE: [info-tech] MS Settlement
Well this was my first MS Settlement meeting and from what I have learned from attending and what our tech director has told me, it seems like they wants us to jump through rings of fire and run through a cage of lions, and we just might get that money.

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.

RE: [info-tech] iPad pro/con
Now that I have finally read about this iPad, I'm going to put in the my two cents. I don't think it would be the greatest thing to replace 1:1 laptops because like Tim said, it just won't do all the big things like editing videos or doing CAD. I do think that it would make a great tool for putting all the text books on and stuff like that but it won't do everything that a laptop will. Also we have found a piece of equipment similar to the iPad with a detachable keyboard, it's the Touch Book from Always Innovating. I'm sure you have seen it but it looks much more intriguing to me.

I do think in concept the iPad is a potential Tool that could be used in a 1-to-1. Would it replace a 1-to-1 Laptop project? If you are going to be having students doing things like video editing I don't see it. But thinking Outside the box in concept I see that it could be a lower cost alternative to a laptop project. Used in conjunction to Moodle, or similar web based solution the Pad could be used to work in the class electronically. The pad could be used in a Moodle course to view/review content, take quiz/tests, and participate in Chat/Forums. This would become more of a pen/paper replacement than a Computer for the class. With electronic rights to Textbooks the students would only have to take home 1 device weighing less than 2 pounds instead of a backpack full of textbooks. But it does not have., Is it that big of a deal, Just don't think of it as a Computer or Laptop, but a whole new class of device. As a Palm Owner since the original units were released I saw it as a great technology. A device to supplement the computer, allowing me to take the computer data I use the most with me on a small handheld. It was never designed to Replace the computer, and I think that was the secret to its success. Although the Palm is on the verge of extinction I still see the concept as a good one. The Pad type of device I see as a similar technology. Not a computer replacement, but a supplement. With technology moving to The Cloud I guess I don't see a big deal with the lack of USB/SD/Firewire or other jacks, plugs, or holes in the device. I would think with no moving parts, maintenance should be minimal compared to a laptop. The cost also would/could allow you to purchase 2-3 Pads to one Laptop. Of course the bad news is that a district would probably still have to maintain traditional computers for higher end processing such as Video/Photo editing, CAD, and such. I guess what I am saying is don't look at this as a traditional computer, but as a new different kind of tool, then think about the problems it could solve. From: Timothy A.

I feel the same way about netbooks. They have a place, and are useful for certain things, but if I'm going to base a full-time take-home 1:1 program around a device, it would be a real fully-functional laptop. I can see some educational uses of the iPad (or a netbook, or an iPod touch, or...), but I'm thinking of certain specific applications, not as general purpose machines. My feeling is that its main benefit is to push technology in a certain direction that might really develop into something. I mean, remember the Apple Newton? It didn't amount to much on its own

This is really school or education related, but I'm looking for an old computer that will run Windows XP, that someone is willing to donate to our Church.

I have some spare memory modules that I can stick in it but just something that has a 20 or so Gb hard-drive. I have all the window xp disc i need but we could use a little help.

[info-tech] Dual Link SonicWall
For those of you who have two internet links coming to your district using the sonicwall, could you give me some help. We have a connection coming from the ICN(AEA) and also one coming from our local provider, Iowa Telecom. But when I enable the Iowa Telecom link, the community users with Iowa Telecom as their provider can no long get to our school site. We think it maybe a mis-configured sonicwall but I do not know where to start looking. Any help would be great.

What do mean by that. On the sonic wall itself. In Nat policies. --Original Message-- From: Lance Lennon Sender: Info-Tech To: info-tech@aea8.k12.ia.us ReplyTo: info-tech@aea8.k12.ia.us Subject: Re: [info-tech] Dual Link SonicWall Sent: Nov 25, 2009 15:15 Had the same issue at EG. All the local users of Iowa Telcom are on the same subnet. Your Sonicwall is receiving web traffic on your ICN port and the Sonicwall is seeing all of the Iowa Telcom users as local addresses trying to access through the wrong port. This is a classic IP Spoof and you can create NO rules to circumvent it. Solution, put a NAT device between your Iowa Telcom router/modem and your sonicwall. Make sure to restart the Sonicwall after making the change so that it can make the correct adjustments also. That was my fix.

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.

XP came out back in 2001, before SATA and solid state drives. Maybe you just need mass storage drivers for your netbook and press F6 on boot from the CD. If the CD worked even a little bit, it sounds like you have a work ext. CD-ROM that you can boot from. If you get a screen where it finds no hard drive, it is a driver issue. --Jason -Original Message- From: info-tech-ow...@aea8.k12.ia.us [mailto:info-tech-ow...@aea8.k12.ia.us] On Behalf Of Mitch Mueller Sent: Monday, October 12, 2009 8:00 AM To: info-tech@aea8.k12.ia.us Subject: RE: [info-tech] XP on USB Drive On to a netbook.
