  1. Part II • Switching • Labs • Media Center • Software • Infrastructure • Pedagogy • Sight and Sound • Questions and Answers • A/V Awards

  2. Things Techies Like to DoBefore or During Vacations • Look out the ___________ (‘98). • Hope they don’t catch a ________ before they go. • Ty-______ one on. • Plan so it won’t be a _______ drive. • Pack their __ed, __reen, and __lue underwear. • Making sure the _____ (5) is fed and cared for.

  3. System Types Intranet/Internet digital • Digital-Both LAN and I-net based • Wired / ISDN / wireless • Compression necessary • Real-time limitations • Digital transmission rates constantly increase • Lowest first cost because switching (and waiting) is done by the provider • CAT 5+ cable or Fiber

  4. Computer Lab Integration Define the Purpose, Function and Flow • Is it a netware or software solution? • Is it a hardware solution? • Is it a hybrid solution? • Is a distance learning application also to be available? • Assemble the architecture based on building block methodologies - back to our example.

  5. Computer Labs What would a lab plan look like?And, how about the wiring?.....AAAAAHHHHH

  6. Example of M.M.Lab Preparation -This Presentation Hardware: • MAC G3/266 (Apple) • 2 - Zip Drives • Minolta Dimage Scandual • Microtek V600 • 2 - Cannon P166’s (PC’s) • 19”/17” ViewSonic Graphics Monitors • 100 MEG 3 COM High Speed Backplane Ethernet Switch • SCSI Servers • Kodak EZ Photo • Hitachi Laptop w/controller

  7. Preparation Software: • Power Point • Microsoft Word • AUTOCAD 12/13/14 • Adobe Photo Shop • Scan Wizard Graphics: • Minolta copier • 3M Graphics Media Approximate Value $30,000 (not including infrastructure)

  8. The Media Center Define: Needs / Operations / Staffing • Content • information - data • media - CD-ROM, analog, digital • Transmission needs - How far do I go? • Operations flow • Staffing needs • Support space requirements

  9. Conforming Software toExpected Needs Remember: Programming your needs are customized elements to your system • Scheduling systems • Softwired remote controls • Reconfigurability • Event and connection independence • Sample programs! • Broadcast station

  10. Acquiring Infrastructureand Systems Necessary Steps • User programming • Preparing estimates/seeking grants • Dividing the work • EC/MMSC • Preparing bid documents • Infrastructure/systems integration • Qualifying bidders • Construction administration • System commissioning

  11. Before We Get to Pedagogy, It’s Time for …Classroom Jeopardy

  12. Classroom Jeopardy • When a group of teachers from a prestigious catholic college were recently asked what its state-of-the-art classrooms should have, what five items were the most important to consider? Let’s start the music and get our contestants down here Track 2 @1:25

  13. Classroom Jeopardy (cont’d) • First • Second • Third • Fourth • Fifth You have 1 minute to list your 5 picks! Track 3

  14. Classroom Jeopardy (cont’d) • clock

  15. Classroom Jeopardy (cont’d) • noise • clock

  16. Classroom Jeopardy (cont’d) • dark • noise • clock

  17. Classroom Jeopardy (cont’d) • overhead projector • darkness • noise • clock

  18. Classroom Jeopardy (cont’d) • AC • ohd • dark • noise • clock

  19. Multimedia and ComputerLab Integration Pedagogical aspects of the learning environment • New teacher strategies • Use of resources • Professional development • Advanced preparation • Simply put, this means ...

  20. When, How and Who • When will it be used? • How will it be used? • Who will use it? • Build it, and they will come!

  21. New Teacher Strategies • Chalk, video, digital • Distance learning • Satellite conferencing with interactivity • Voting and testing electronics • Independent computer lab instruction • Prepared “select” demonstrations of broad and specific topics

  22. Use of Resources • The classroom is no longer a cave in which small amounts of information are disseminated • The classroom is a virtual learning space in which resources from around the globe are presentable

  23. Professional Development Introduce the users by including them • Teaching styles and requirements • Where things are best located • How things are changed • What’s it like to be up there

  24. Advanced Preparation Practice makes perfect • Practice rooms are comfort spaces • It should work like a phone • It should be simple to change • Technology must not interfere with teaching -it’s an adjunct

  25. What Does It Take? • Production • Time • Trials • Compatibility

  26. Sights and Sounds Target your audience • Military, INFOCOMM, or Girlscouts • Visual > ~10% persistence of memory • Auditory > ~40-50% persistence of memory

  27. Resolution!!! Exactly what do we see??? Go to overhead if we have time!

  28. RES (H:V)500,000:400,000 ASPECT (H:V)9:8 Video / Film / Visual Resolutions EYE

  29. Video / Film / Visual Resolutions Lumen Notes: • Candle 1/2 - 1 • TV - 600 • VP 250 - ..……...1000(3000) • 8/16mm 700 - 2000 • 35mm 500 - 6000 • Sun 1,000,000 • 1 Lumen/Sq Ft = 1FC1 FC = LUX 10

  30. Video / Film / Visual Resolutions* Video/Digital Video

  31. Video / Film / Visual Resolutions* Film

  32. Question? What do George Lucas and INFOCOMM have in common?

  33. Answer They are both converging on the robustness and acceptance of thedigital media chain! Recording/Editing/Distributing/Showing (DLP) (e.g., Star Wars: Episode I - The Prequelin only four theaters in the USA) (Distribution through the I-net)

  34. The ProblemColor Resolution • Whites  Yellow • Blue  Purple • Skin Color  Faded to Dark (Mannequins)

  35. Who Should Design Your Systems? • Professionals with errors and omission insurance • Trained engineers with communications mastery • Certification does not equal licensing • Society registration does not equal licensing • An engineer must be licensed by the state to provide engineering

  36. What We’ve Covered More than a mouthful • Distribution - local or remote? • Facilitation - it’s a complex world out there! • Look~feel~touch…accommodation! • Prepare for change • The scariest thing? • Programming in two (2) months - committing is scary

  37. Questions?A/V Awards QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (MAYBE) First - A/V Award (Able and Verbal) Second - RF Award (Ready and Focused)
