  12. Technically, what we are trying to accomplish? How to build an environment to specifically support one-to-one mobile computing in a DDN connected School.

  13. Year 1 Pilot Program Lessons Bandwidth WebCT Classroom Management software Disk storage Wireless Lightweight Architecture Technology Committee / Policies Off Site Content Filtering

  14. Laptops and/or Tablets Students: Laptops or Tablets Teachers: Tablets? (School choice) Purchase or 3 year lease (manufacturer or local) 3 year warranty – accidental coverage Software Microsoft Windows Office - Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher Altiris Symantec Client Security SynchronEyes™ classroom management software State contract

  15. Server Microsoft server 2003 Security, quotas, off-line file synchronization Image management Altiris Security management Symantec Client Security RADIUS server Used for Wireless Security SynchronEyes™ classroom management

  16. Desktop Management Must work “smarter”! Philosophy: Computer is an “educational tool” – not a “personal device” Local control & management Desktop Support Ratio Technology & Procedures tools to aid in management: Acceptable Use Policies Active Directory policies Altiris Symantec Advanced computer support skills required

  17. Build it right the 1st time! State contract 802.11a @ 5GHz 54 Mbps shared (not switched) Local Area Network based on switched architecture No hubs Lightweight Architecture / Centralized management RADIUS authentication - Certificate on the Domain Controller Performance Expectations Enterprise level encryption “Buy” expertise/services if necessary Integration with existing wireless couldbe a problem if not properly planned. Wireless Networking

  18. Training • DDN IT: June 4 – June 15 • Dakota State University • Classroom Connections • Advanced active directory policies • RADIUS – Certificate security • Altiris • Virtual server • Windows Software Update Service (WSUS) • Symantec Client Security • Wireless configuration (Controller & Desktop) • Help Desk management will be discussed • SynchronEyes

  19. Support: Eyes Wide Open • Additional Support FTE • Technical support • Improved Desktop & network skills • Standards-based infrastructure • Parts center – repairs • Extra battery station • Simple is better than complicated • Centralize management where possible

  20. Other Considerations • Orientation • Projectors • Start small – goal perspective • Student fees • Policies & penalties • Electrical outlets & power strips • Equipment racks • Storage

  21. Application areas to be addressed Demonstrate the means to meet the $2 to $1 matching funds (district $2 / state matches $1) Demonstrate action steps necessary to implement professional development of staff and students Demonstrate a technology plan including support services Demonstrate how the program will impact instruction of students Demonstrate commitment from school board and effort to involve community
