[info-tech] printers

[Jackie Fonley]

Hi, all!  We are updating some printers . . .  and I now have HP LaserJets 4000 
& 4100 series printers that will no longer be used.  If anyone is interested in 
these, and toner, email me directly.

jfon...@algona.k12.ia.us

Thanks, and enjoy the day!
Jackie

RE: [info-tech] Provisioning wireless

[Pearson, Jeremy]

We have three networks on our official wireless system:

Internal Secure Network - For District equipment only, using WPA
Public Unsecured Network - Filtered currently at our student 
level using OpenDNS, completely wide open
Training Network - Filtered for porn only using OpenDNS, using 
a different WPA key

Techs,

How are other tech coordinator's provisioning their wireless? For example just 
a district radius SSID and a guest SSID or are you providing additional 
specialized SSIDs with more refined access. Just seeking the best course.

Thanks,

[info-tech] google domain question

[Johnson, Vicki]

 

I have a question about the google apps domain.  I have some students
that are grayed out in the groups that I put them in.   How do I get
them to be bold like the others?  I see nothing wrong with their
accounts.  I get the same thing if I delete the student and wait five
days to reenter him.

Re: [info-tech] Ipad storage

[Jackie Fonley]

I purchased the case with them.  Currently we don't have enough for a lab set 
up scenario (15 as of today -- YEAH!) . . .  so they will just be housed in 
classrooms and stored by the teachers.  I think when we purchased the syncing 
stations (suitcase type) there was a more expensive option of a cart. (with the 
syncing ability)

Re: [info-tech] Skype

Using Skype with no issues here.  In fact, the high school just had a conversation with a P.E. teacher over in England on Wed. of this week.  I'm using SonicWall.

Have a good one,

re: [info-tech] Skype

[Tim Limbert]

We use Skype quite a bit here, and have seen no major problems (technical 
ones, anyway).  We've never really had any trouble with Skype traffic 
getting through, and I'm not sure why, really, because I don't feel like 
I've done anything special to make it work.  Our firewall setup is simple, 
and our content filters are fairly open.

Subject: [info-tech] Skype

Quick question:
 
Who uses Skype, and do you have any issues getting the traffic past your 
content filter?  Our content filter stops it as P2P traffic (which it 
really is...).  I could get past that if I could use a specific port, but 
Skype is all over the place on ports, and you can only set a static inbound 
port, not outbound.  I am working with the vendor (Deep Nines), but I am 
curious what others are doing.
 
Google Talk anyone?

RE: [info-tech] Skype

[Pearson, Jeremy]

We have several people using Skype, and have really had no issues, other than a 
dropped call here and there and some bad video once in a while.  In fact, we 
are teaching a class over it to 5 kids somewhere on the east side of the state. 
 No real big problems.  Definitely a program that we could use more of!!!
We are using Lightspeed for content filtering.
Have a great, beautiful weekend!!!

4000 and 4100 printers -- can they be converted to be wireless?  We are 
replacing our printers, but I would like to be able to put some on carts with

Re: [info-tech] Managing iPods/iPads and Magic TV Remote

[Timothy A. Limbert]

We have some 16 GB and some 32 GB.  The 16 holds tons of apps, would only need 
more space if you're going to load it up with video.

Re: [info-tech] Managing iPods/iPads and Magic TV Remote

[Jackie Fonley]

I am getting the 16GB models  iPads (which were the $499 model), which for 
purposes now will suffice memory wise.  This next shipment of Touches we are 
getting will be the 64 GB model, as they will not only be an additional Touch 
for our centers/activity stations . . .  but teachers were also wanting a 
digital camera and video camera for their classrooms . . .  so we "went all 
out" in regard to memory so these Touches can also be used for those various 
uses.  Not sure what the pricing was for that group.

Re: [info-tech] Managing iPods/iPads and Magic TV Remote

[Karl Hehr]

Right now we have the 16gb iPads paid $499 for them, and 32 GB iPods, not sure 
what I paid each for them as it was a bundle of 20 and a case for around $6500

[info-tech] Spam RE: [info-tech] Spam RE: [info-tech] Managing iPods/iPads and Magic TV Remote

Actually I was not meaning to be political with my comment although it
may have sounded that way. Just more or less relieved that I don't have
a ton of iPods to manage at this point.

I have gone through the set up process with staff.  Each elementary
grade level has a set of iPod Touches to use in the classroom, and a
grade level iTunes account.  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.  Just out of coolness the
Star Walk one is neat for the iPad; my daughter made me download it
after watching the commercial several times. :-)  I liked the iScore
Baseball app for keeping softball stats this summer -- coolness for me.

[info-tech] Hosted Web Servers

[Scott Fosseen [Prairie Lakes AEA]]

The web server had a failed drive in the Array.  When replacing the failed 
drive a 2nd drive failed in the array causing loss of service.  I am going 
to run diagnostics on the 2nd failed drive in an attempt to bring the server 
back up in it's latest condition.  If this does not work I will I will 
restore the server from the last backup.  I do anticipate web access will be 
unavailable for the day.

[info-tech] Webster City Nov. 4th Event

[Murphy, Mark]

This is a reminder that Webster City will be hosting a Windows Deployment 
Service workshop on Nov. 4th starting at 9:00am. In the morning we will walk 
you through installing WDS on your server, tweaking settings on the server and 
network, preparing your master image, and actual client deployment. Plus we 
will share the tips and tricks we learned while we used WDS this summer. 
Additional topics for the day will include KMS licensing, VMware, SAN 
infrastructure, and any other interesting side topics that develop.

The workshop will be held at the Webster City High School ICN room. The address 
is 1001 Lynx Ave. Construction on the new high school gym is under way so 
parking is slightly inconvenient. Parking is available in the main student lot, 
on the west side, between the building and the ball fields. Additional parking 
is also available in the teacher lot, on the east side, between the building 
and the tennis courts. There is a temporary gravel parking lot on the south end 
of the building that connects both lots.

The workshop is open to anybody who is interested. So we have an idea of the 
number of people coming please RSVP to 
mark_mur...@webster-city.k12.ia.us 
sometime before 9:00am Nov. 4th. Thank you to all that have already sent in 
your RSVP.

We look forward to seeing many of you on Thursday.

[info-tech] Fw: [Iowalib] Printers for Sale and other government surplus

Subject: [Iowalib] Printers for Sale and other government surplus

The State of Iowa has signed up with a nationwide online auction service, 
GovDeals.com, to sell state surplus equipment and supplies. The State 
Library of Iowa has currently listed several printers, scanners and other 
library related items on the website. The website runs similar to EBay and 
other online auctions and requires a PayPal account or major credit card 
for winning bid payments.


Libraries can pick up some good equipment very cheap! For example, we have 
listed several HP LaserJet 1300 printers at the starting bid price of 
$15.00! To view these printers and other items for sale, from the 
GovDeals.com website home page, select "Search by Zip" in the upper left 
section, then enter your zip code on the next page. This will narrow the 
search down to within 100 miles of your location.Our printers are 
listed under Computers, Parts and Supplies.
This is a national website and most items currently for sale are located 
out of state. As more State of Iowa agencies begin using the site, more 
items will be locally located. Register today as a bidder with the 
following directions:


1.Go to http://www.govdeals.com
2.Select "New Members Register Free"
3.Register as a bidder
4.Registrants are manually verified which may take one to two business 
days. You may expedite your registration by calling the GovDeals.com Help 
Desk at 1-800-613-0156 and choose selection 1
5.Once you receive your temporary password from GovDeals.com and 
successfully log in for the first time, you will be registered

Only 9% of the U.S. population is bilingual, compared with 65% of the world's 
population (U.S. Census). The growth of the 21st century economy demands Iowa's 
students compete with peers from across the globe. How can our students compete 
if they can't communicate? 

Due to the immense popularity of the fall IEC purchase, the IEC has negotiated 
an extension of the special rate for Rosetta Stone® Classroom licenses. This 
special price extension is available until December 15, 2010. Rosetta Stone 
Classroom is an approved software product for Microsoft Settlement Funds and 
available through the Software Voucher opportunity.
 
Rosetta Stone® Classroom enables Iowa schools to bring second language skills 
to every student in the school with existing teacher headcount.
 
A Rosetta Stone expert will attend five Area Education Agency meetings 
scheduled November 15th - 19th, from 1:00 pm - 4:00pm.  The format for these 
events will be presentation, demonstration, Q&A starting at 1:00pm and 2:30pm. 
We recommend you take advantage of this opportunity or schedule a one-on-one 
meeting that week to discuss:

.   Best practices in ESL initiatives  
.   Expanding world language programs with existing headcount  
.   Professional development 
.   Creating scalable solutions to suit diverse student populations 
.   Parent and community outreach  
.   Choosing the right licensing platform 

To Register for Iowa Tour:

Please RSVP to Franklin Moomaw to confirm your seat at one of the events or 
schedule a personalized consultation.

Go to the Promethean Planet website, www.prometheanplanet.com.  Register for a 
user name and password.  Once you are registered you can go to the Support tab 
and under that tab click on ActivInspire.  Once it opens you will have the

Jeremy,


We actually have 3 of the Bretford carts with the cable nightmares and I'm 
wishing to find a better solution for the 125 laptops that will be coming 
my way soon. I'm convinced after lots of searching that I'm just going to 
have to design my own cart. I have yet to see a cart for 14"+ laptops that 
you can easily take out cords if needed to plug in and yet still have a 
place to tuck them away for charging that's not crammed in on top of the 
laptops.


Thanks for the input everyone!

Similar to Tony, I like the HP carts. We have 5 of them at Sheldon, and
my only gripe is the lack of a sturdy shelving system on top for a

[info-tech] Skills Iowa not a lightspeed problem

[Murray Gafkjen]

While working with a teacher, I saw it came back to the way IE 8 handles 
pop-ups. Even though we had them turned off for the site, after we typed in the 
code for taking OCT assessment, it would return to the same page. On one 
machine we had a message about pressing the control key, so after typing the 
code id, pressing the Control key (keeping it down while the next page came), 
it allowed the testing to start. During this we also added the site to the 
"trusted websites", I don't know if this was needed. We did the same on another 
machine, with an earlier version of IE8, it worked as well, but we did not get 
the message about using the control key, even though it needed the control key 
to be pressed.

All for now,

Have a great weekend.

Spirit Lake has had much trouble with Skills Iowa as well. Their tech support 
seems to ALWAYS say it is on our end. Hearing that other districts are having 
the same issue makes me wonder if that is indeed the case. 

Last year at Okoboji we had the same issues and they always said it must be 
something with our system. I come to Spirit Lake this year and it is more of 
the same. Hmm...

re: [info-tech] Skills Iowa & Lightspeed

[Erin Olson]

I had one student not able to take the OCT. reading test. Blockers were 
off-it is still a mystery. Ugh. We have had numerous issues. One we have 
seen in the classroom is the student answers change. They put in one 
answer, and it changes their answer to a wrong answer. I was skeptical, but 
the math teacher also noticed this. We had students write down their 
answers on paper as well as answer on computer to be sure. I have let 
Skills IA know this. 

Keith would know more about the issues in elem. level...

allows me to easily log in as them, and check out their account if I need 
to.  I also make sure that parents have a copy of the username and

Second question:  We do reference email in the student agreement(s).  
School email is for school-related communication only, no harassment,

Subject: [info-tech] Quick Survey - Student Accounts

 

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?
If I don't have the password, I reset one on the server.

2.   Do you maintain a list of student passwords, and if so, who do
you share that list with?
I try to keep a list of password in case they forget, or if I have to go
in under their account.

3.   How often do you change student passwords?
Only change them when they come to the HS or if they forget.

 

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

RE: [info-tech] Quick Survey - Student Accounts

[Mitch Mueller]

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.

It's not a big deal at this point in the game, but it seems to be an issue

1. Reset the password. I do.

2. No, I don't need them.

3.  More for the sake of the staff than the students, the passwords do not 
expire.

[Tim Limbert]

I keep a list (spreadsheet) of all user credentials.  I keep a hard copy filed 
in the office.  If someone forgets their password, they come to me, and I can 
print them off a copy of the login sheet they were given at the beginning of 
the year.  I will generally change their password at this point, just in case.  
We change all staff and student passwords at the beginning of the school year 
(and any time we're concerned that it may have become compromised).

they tell the teacher whose classroom they are in and they pass it on to me.  I 
reset all passwords to a generic pw and they reset it from there.  -- for 
student server accounts . . .  all students use a generic student account for

only when somebody forgets their password . . . which in the scheme of things . 
. . .  and 3 months of summer . . .  not very often.  I would say maybe 1 - 2 
requests per week.

1.   What is your procedure when a student forgets their logon password? 
Who handles this request? - Teacher Librarians and the building secretaries 
have access to an excel spreadsheet with that data in it.


2.   Do you maintain a list of student passwords, and if so, who do you 
share that list with? - See #1.


3.   How often do you change student passwords? - We don't, unless we have 
specific issues.  We just started handing out random passwords to new students 
this year, so we will maintain those throughout their career.

1.   What is your procedure when a student forgets their logon  
password? Who handles this request?
	When A student forgets a password either I or my assistant reset it  
to a default password and require that the password be changed on  
first log in



2.   Do you maintain a list of student passwords, and if so, who  
do you share that list with?
 We do not maintain a list of student passwords. I do for  
teachers and associates, but not students


3.   How often do you change student passwords?
  We reset student passwords to the default every new school  
year. They are then required upon first log in to change to a password  
of their choice.



I am just curious what other districts are doing regarding this

One way to block https sites without having to decrypt/reencrypt the
traffic (which usually causes issues) is to use OpenDNS as your external
DNS provider.  It's free and easy to use in conjunction with any other
internal service.  They also have some nice reporting features for what
it's getting requests for from your site.  Only way around it is a proxy
server.

you also have to have the following checked...
"block non-http traffic to blocked ip addresses"
"block non-http traffic to unknown ip addresses"
"block unknown urls"
"block unknown urls matching proxy patterns"
BUT they will still find a few to proxy throughand these checked can and
will cause probs with the sites you want to get to.
