Re: email hosting

We host our own email but I have used mailstreet.com to host a few friends that have companies ranging from 10-75 email accounts. They are an exchange host, have blackberry and outlook web access. Support has been very good the few times I have had to
use them also.

email hosting

We need to switch email hosting companies. Have been using Island Email for
the last few years but because of continued problems =AD it is time to make a
change. Is anyone using a company that they are happy with? We would have
70-75 accounts.

To help answer some questions that we have, we're looking for any =

as possible to help easy any worries and/or concerns.

Thanks for your time

the high school or college level, an advanced degree in biology, and a
strong interest in eventually becoming the steward of our outdoor
programs. To learn more about University School, please visit

Campus Manager, Aruba and Windows Pre-Login

We recently installed an Aruba managed wireless system and we're having
issues.

Ideally we'd like to have our sets of lab cart laptops be able to
connect to the wireless network and have our students log onto our
Windows domain and get all their resources - whether they've logged
onto that laptop before or not. (We have several Lenovo laptops
models)

Is anyone using CM/Aruba/Windows and having success with this? If so,
please let me know what things you've done to make things work
together, the things we should look out for. Any recommendations for
a consulting firm that has experience with CM and Aruba would be
greatly appreciated too. We're just south of Boston.

Thanks,

Kendall

Re: Question: istopmotion

I have never used iStopMotin, but am wondering how it is any different
from using iMovie. I have done stop motion animation many times with
iMovie and it is even easier now since iPhoto and the integration
across media. This is also a very goo use of iMovie 8, if you dumb
sequenced photos into the footagr. Add a title, narrate and your
done!. You can even create really great silent movies.

Re: Question: istopmotion

We have used it for about a year. The software was part of a package of
software that we purchased from MacWorld offers last year (Jan '08) and
have upgraded to the newer version since then. For claymation type videos
on a Mac we haven't found a better program. We got the upgrade through
the publisher and they do have educational pricing.

I just saw a fabulous project a 5th grade student did with it. He used
iStopmotion on his Mac with a video camera to take the photos. The 6

very easy to use and the results show what a success it was.

Re: ISED: Shopping for Professional Development tracking s/w

Hi Aeronia et al,

Glad this was helpful. No, I don't know of any NAIS schools using PD-Tracke=
r, but I bet if you asked the guy, he'd provide references. Here's the ning=
link again: http://tinyurl.com/5o4uvy. At $125/year (and a 60 day free tri=
al) it seems very reasonably priced for individual schools, but I'm all for=
the power of consortium purchasing and consortium collaboration. I don't t=
hink this software includes tools for collaboration, but it would be intere=
sting to see if social networking technology (both within individual school=
s and between schools) could contribute to creating enthusiasm for professi=
onal development events. Perhaps the software developer could consider this=
.

I like the way ning shows what events are upcoming, and who is going: http=
://isenet.ning.com/events/event/listUpcoming. You can also message attendee=
s and comment on event pages, but can't yet rate events. I'd love to see th=
is kind of functionality in PD Tracker.=20
Btw, the SLA EDUcon 2.0 event virtual sessions this past weekend were pheno=
menal. I think some of them may be archived. It's this type of e

Regarding consortium purchasing, I continue to think there is opportunity f=
or our schools, especially with big ticket items like computers, site licen=
sing for software, and expensive guest speakers. It seems like there would =
be benefit from putting our purchasing power together on this. In the past =
when we've discussed it, it seems like purchasing cycles and individual sch=
ools' requirements have been stumbling blocks, but perhaps in these leaner =
economic times there would be renewed energy to explore possibilities.

Thanks,
Demetri

Demetri, this is golden information. This looks like what we can use =3D a=

Thanks

Question: istopmotion

I already posted to Wizards with no responses, anyone @ ISED listserv have
experience with istopmotion?
Thanks!

Questions:
Has anyone used istopmotion? If so, how was your experience with it?
Does anyone know of a good place to buy it?
Is there a better stop animation program for a claymation art project?
Thanks!

What means do some independent schools use to enroll in and/or track
professional development courses? My former public school district used
"MyLearningPlan", but the district was huge. I need something for an
individual campus. Any suggestions? Thx.
