Re: ipad cases

And I'll vouch for them as well. I've beaten mine up over the last
three months and it is still sturdy and working even if a bit of
cosmetic wear is visible.

Re: ipad cases

I would second the apple case recomendation. I had initially been concerned by
the apparent lack of padding but the way the edges are sewn together leaves a
pucker in the rubbery fabric that is a very effective cushion. It is also
pretty easy to get the iPad in and out of the case if needed. It seems to be
comparatively inexpensive and anything cheaper is just a sleeve rather than the
always-one case.

Re: Interesting new free online LMS and possible replacement for Ning?

Ning - or really, any external service - requires a level of trust that they
will actually keep the lights on for you.

Ning isn't giving away free accounts - these entry level accounts (capped at 150
people, with a stripped down featureset) are sponsored by Pearson:
http://about.ning.com/pearsonsponsorship/ This sponsorship is currently set for
"up to three years" (from the FAQs on the above link).

So, if you are concerned about the longevity of your network, or having a
network free from branding/scrutiny from the largest textbook manufacturer in
the world, or want to ensure the privacy of the people joining your network,
replacing Ning would be a good move.

For content that can be ephemeral, or for very simple, short-term needs, Ning
can be an excellent choice. As with any work, it depends on making sure the
technology aligns with your strategic goals.

Cheers,

Bill

Why do we need to replace Nings? They are giving free school basic accounts.
If Ning is working, I would say stay with it.

Hi everyone,
I just came across Schoology (schoology.com) a very interesting
service that's designed as a combination LMS and social networking
site. From the demo, it seems to have great functionality and could
serve as a possible replacement for Ning.
Anyone using this or know anything more about it? Looks pretty cool.

Re: Wireless Options

Renee,

Cannot say enough about Ruckus. We have been running it for a couple of
years now and been very happy. We have mostly 2.4 ghz APs but a few dual
5/2.4 ghz.

We have multiple wlans that map to vlans across campus. We do mac-auth with
radius to Open Directory for one of our wlans in addition to WPA2 and also
have a couple of areas on campus where we need to do some meshing. We have
many of the Aps on POE and have been happy with coverage as well as the
'self-healing' and background scanning the system does to change radio
channels due to interference (which in a San Francisco neighborhood near the
freeway and a busy BART station is a great tool to have.)

Re: Wireless Options

Renee,

This is our 3rd year with Xirrus. We have been extremely pleased with
them. Xirrus allowed us to evaluate their equipment for a few weeks
before making a decision to purchase. They did the site survey and put
up the arrays. I am pretty sure this is still part of their standard
service. We are upgrading to wireless N at the end of this week and
they will do a new site survey and the installation at no additional
charge.

Management has been very easy and support has been great the couple of
times that I had to call them. There is a full 5 year hardware warranty
on the array that comes as part of the basic purchase.

If you want more info feel free to contact me.

Re: SPAM-LOW: Re: digital portfolios

Hello Gail, Jon, et all:

GCE Chicago <http://www.gcechicago.com> is a new independent school that
uses digital portfolios. We ran a pilot program last year. We begin a
month of staff pd on Tuesday, and will officially open our doors on Sept 7.
I'm happy to be a guinea pig for our group.

If you visit our website and scroll over "GCE Chicago High
School<http://www.globalcitizenshipexperience.com/index.php/school-year/gce-school-year-learning-institute/>"
you will see a menu bar that includes "student
portfolios<http://www.gceportfolios.com>".
These were beta-portfolios which students worked on ONLY during the final
quarter of the school-year, and they didn't include the audio or video
components that are in place for this year. This fall we will have 10+
student portfolios being developed in concert with our staff portfolios.
Our full barrage of social networking strategies will be intertwined during
the coming month of staff pd and we'll invite you all to participate as
actively or passively as is appropriate for you.

I am open to any questions and would happily host several webinars
throughout the school-year in order to discuss the successes, short-falls,
and refinements.

Many thanks and best of luck,
eric

Re: Interesting new free online LMS and possible replacement for Ning?

In cases such as my ning, http:///globaleducation.ning.com, I have 3800
members which is well over the limit of 150 people for the Ning minis that
are being underwritten by the Pearson Foundation. So people who have nings
catering to large groups of people can't use that option. Secondly, there is
no guarantee that Pearson will keep up this sponsorship indefinitely, so
people may choose to move to a service that they have more control over.

I love Ning's features and ease of use, and I am very fortunate that the
good people at Think Global School have stepped up to sponsor my ning.
Otherwise, I'd seriously be looking at other options such as the ones listed
on this Google Doc: http://tinyurl.com/2cy6hjf. I've heard of Schoology,
but haven't looked at it closely.

Re: Digital Portfolios

.

While learning a list of schools "leading" in digital portfolios may be of
value, it may also be of value to read research articles about or
discussing digital portfolios and the links below should serve as one
starting point if this method of learning about them is desired.

Google Apps Admin Tools Update - Bulk Delete User Page Added

This is just a quick update to let you know that I've added a page to
the Google
Apps Admin Tools <https://webapps.peddie.org/GoogleAppsAdmin> site which
allows you to delete Google Apps users in bulk by simply pasting usernames
into a text box and/or selecting a group of users (e.g. your Class of 2010
group). If you are a Google Apps school and would like access to the site
just send me an email (tphelan@peddie.org) with your Google Apps domain.

*About The Google Apps Admin Tools Page*

URL: https://webapps.peddie.org/GoogleAppsAdmin

We created the Google Apps Admin Tools site to supplement the standard
Google Apps administrator control panel and have opened the site for use by
any Google Apps school or non-profit upon request. The site does not
interfere in any way with the standard administrator control panel. It was
created to add functionality that is not offered in the standard control
panel and to streamline other tasks which are tedious to do when using the
standard control panel. The site currently does the following:

- Allows you to delete users in bulk by pasting usernames in a text box
or selecting an entire group of users to delete.
- Allows you to manage shared users. The primary purpose for this is to
allow you to selectively publish your groups to the domain address book so
type-ahead will work for these groups. The standard administrator console
does not currently contain any way to manage shared contacts.
- Allows you to change a username (e.g. due to marriage). The stock admin
console allows you to change a user's display name, but not the username.
- We still find the group management tools cumbersome, so I built a page
dedicated to managing groups making adding/deleting/modifying users in
groups as easy as pasting email addresses into a test box.
- While the stock tools allow small domains to export a user list as a
CSV, this option does not seem to be available for larger domains, and even
for small domains you can't export group membership information. The site
allows you to export all users. You can also export all group memberships
for each user.

Since all Google Apps domains use the same API, it was possible allow this
site to be used to manage any Google Apps domain; therefore, I decided to
open it up for any school or non-profit use. If you administer a Google Apps
domain for a school or non-profit and would like to use this site, send me
an email (tphelan@peddie.org) requesting that I add your domain to the list
of allowed domains--please do not send me your administrator password. While
we use this site to manage the Peddie domain and I know of no bugs, no
warranty is expressed or implied. Also, please do read the instructions at
the bottom of each page before using the page.

Re: Wireless Options

Hi, Renee. I'll also vouch for the Aerohive units. We've deployed 30
AP120's this summer which are slowly replacing our controller-based
Cisco APs. The price point is very competitive and, as Barrett
mentioned, easy to work with. Another attraction is no single
point-of-failure that controller-based systems have. We've set up the
HiveManager in a virtual machine and have had zero issues with it.

I've dealt with their tech support on some minor issues, too, as well as
catching a bug. Their support is stellar and responsive.

I highly recommend them!

Re: Wireless Options

Hi Renee,

We went with Aerohive Networks last year and have been really happy with it
since. While they have a hardware or virtual machine-based controller
available, it is just for pushing configurations to the APs, reporting on
end users and the like, so it is not a typical wireless controller like
Cisco uses. We liked this option and their price was very reasonable.
While I really haven't had to utilize their tech support for any major
issues, the couple of minor config questions I've had for them were answered
quickly and completely.

Re: Wireless Options

Dear Renee,

We just installed a Ruckus Wireless system (28 access points) this summer. =
I cannot vouch for how it will work under load,though I am excited to see =
how well it does this fall. I can say that after a lot of research I felt =
that ruckus gave us the best performance for price (probably the best perfo=
rmance in general). They had some excellent pricing for schools that reall=
y helped. The Ruckus system is a very easy to use system. We had original=
ly planned on paying to have the equipment installed and the controller con=
figured, but the vendor's idea of installation, and what needed to be done,=
turned out to be a good bit different. So, we went ahead and did the inst=
all ourselves. I found configuring the controller to be easy and the acces=
s points so far have proven to work as advertised and with great coverage. =
=20

I really like how easy it is to manage the system. I am sure there are som=
e features available from other vendors that Ruckus may not have, but I als=
o know from looking around that the Ruckus controller was generally easier =
to configure. For us, general performnce is more important than seldom use=
d features, and easy to manage is the only way we get by with all of our st=
uff. Their beam-forming technology does seem to work in my initial testing=
(I could see it in coverage, I look forward to loads of traffic to see if =
I can see it in handling interference better). The dynamic pre-shared key =
feature also works well and makes configuring klaptopsand maintaining secur=
ity very easy and effective.

I will say that the Aruba solution we looked at was more reasonably priced =
than I expected - though not cheaper than Ruckus. I did not feel that the =
access points had the same coverage as Ruckus'. However, Aruba has been at=
this game ver successfully for many years.

We purchased the 7962 access points (and a few 7363s) which are all dual ba=
nd. I cannot speak to their performance yet, but I can tell you that the 5=
GHz coverage area is not as large as 2.4GHz. This is not a Ruckus issue, t=
his is a difference between the two frequencies - the same exists between 8=
02.11g and 802.11a. We went ahead with the dual band because the cost diff=
erence was minimal and we hope that this solution will meet our needs for m=
any years. There definitely is a performance difference, but depending on =
what the user is doing they may or may not experience it at all. A good so=
lid 802.11n connection at 2.4 GHz will yield a fraction of the theoretical =
130 Mbps, but even half of that is more than one can get from the Internet =
and plenty for moving files around. =20

I wish I had some experience with the wireless system under load to vouch f=
or its general performance. I can tell you that there are many reports out=
there, groups with far more time, sophistication, and need, to truly compa=
re systems, who have found the Ruckus to provide the best performance. =20

If you would like to know more details feel free to follow up.

Re: offsite backup service

Morning,

Add another satisfied Barracuda customer to the list.

We have been using their backup service since last winter and are very happy
with their solution. No more tapes!!!

The upfront cost for purchasing the appliance might be a deterrent. However,
the monthly cost of $50 per 100gb of cloud storage is more than worth it.
This is easily the least complicated backup/restore/disaster recovery
solution for an affordable expense.

Good luck with your search.

Re: offsite backup service

Hi Sherry,

Sorry for your loss.

I've been using Barracuda since last Fall. I have no complaints. Recently they just came out with an upgrade allowing it to backup open files.

The solution was cheaper than paying for another year of Backup Exec support. I also saved a bundle from not having to replace my Dell PowerVault and Backup exec server due to EOL support.

Mike

Re: offsite backup service

Hi, Sherry. An excellent thread dated around June 27th came up here on
the list. Subject line "off site backup." I believe a number of
responders have been happy with Barracuda's appliance which basically
backs up to their cloud service.

Since we've gone to a 95% virtual environment here at St. Catherine's in
Richmond, I'm using a mix of disk-to-disk-to-tape for our backup
strategies including Backup Exec 2010 for our tapes and VMware's Virtual
Data Recovery appliance to a 1Gbps connected 2Tb network drive for our
VM VMDK files.

I guess the question depends on what you're backing up and what kind of
environment you have. Simply said, I'd check out the Barracuda service
that was so highly mentioned.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Kory

Re: Global/Electronic Permission Slips

We do not recommend schools use a one-size-fits-all release for field =
trips. The reason is that for a release to be enforceable the person =
signing should be made reasonably aware of the particular risks, as well =
as the rights being waived. Since the risks involved in attending field =
trips vary widely by location and activity, it's unlikely that one form =
will suffice. California and many other states also limit what rights =
students and parents can waive.

Please also be carefully about providing "permission slips" as opposed =
to "releases" or "waivers." The former is simply an acknowledgment that =
a student may participate in a field trip. It provides minimal benefit =
to the school. The latter is designed to protect the school from =
potential liability. In California at least (I don't know about other =
states) public schools have broad statutory immunity for injuries that =
result from field trips (and sports). Therefore, public schools may =
rely on permission slips, but not so for private schools.

Finally, we recommend against electronic permission slips, if by that =
you mean obtaining signatures electronically. The purpose of a =
signature is to verify that a particular person agreed to specific =
terms. That is nearly impossible (as far as I can tell) when someone =
just clicks a box on his or her computer screen. There is federal and =
state law regarding electronic signatures, but we've found it to be =
generally unhelpful. California Government Code =A7 16.5 gives =
guidelines for public agencies that you may find useful.

Classroom Bell System

We are researching a system to operate our classroom bell system in our
Middle/Upper School. We have two different daily schedules (one for Middle
and one for Upper), as well as different schedules on assembly, pep rally
and other "special" days. We do not want an audible hallway bell - looking

converting videotapes to DVD

We have a collection of videotapes that we are considering converting to DVD
format. Some of these are old and we are afraid we will loose them entirely.
Some of these are no longer being distributed. Working within copyright
guidelines, the librarians and I would like to work on converting these. We
have tested and could use a basic version of Dazzle by Pinnacle to do this.
However, before we purchase, set up, and start this project, we have
questions:
1) Are there issues with onsite produced DVDs in terms of longevity? We've
heard these types of DVD only last a few years as compared to commercially
produced DVDs. If we are only gaining 1 or 2 yrs. It may not be worth the
effort.
2) Considering that Dazzle produces DVD in realtime, are there other low
cost solutions to this that are worth testing?
3) Is there any mechanism to successfully converting internationally
recorded videotapes? Again we will be careful of copyright. We have a number
of Israeli films.
Thank you,
Kathy

classroom speaker recommendations

Hi everyone,
We are looking to upgrade our classroom speakers, so teachers can easily
share videotapes, dvds, and online videos with their classes. Currently
every teacher's station has internal or external 2 watt computer speakers.
Fine for some media not so good for others. We have projectors in every
classroom and the capacity to add DVD/VCRs in those rooms that need this
device. We'd like to add external speakers possibly mounted on the walls to
allow for the entire class to hear all media. Any recommendations on the
type of speaker, brands and dealers you like would be appreciated.
Thanks,

The reason we don't have sample global permission slips, and why I generall=

Re: Combining Different Levels of French

Keep the classes as small as you can and a good French language teacher =
can handle the level of differentiation necessary.

I am wondering if any French teachers have had classes of French =
students at
different levels,e.g. French III and French IV?
Our numbers are down for French students but we want to continue the
program.
