Introductions • Matt Woods • Executive Director, Technology & Information Services, LBUSD • 35 Years in IT: IBM, Banking, Aerospace • 23 in K-12: Downey, Paramount, ABC and Long Beach Unified since 1998 • Now tell me about you… 2013 CASBO ANNUAL CONFERENCE & SCHOOL BUSINESS EXPO
In the beginning … • Networks defined the place, time and devices that were connected to them. • The business determined the devices that were attached and from where and when they could have access. 2013 CASBO ANNUAL CONFERENCE & SCHOOL BUSINESS EXPO
Not long ago … • While state of the art at the time, these are now considered “closed systems”. • The business defined who, what, where and when.
But that was then • Networks today are much more complicated. • Much more complicated
Anytime, Anywhere, Any Device • Today’s networks are all about accessibility • What drives that? • Terms you probably know: • Web based instruction • Digital textbooks • Common Core • SBAC & other assessments
Anytime, Anywhere, Any Device • OK. That’s all about content. What about accessibility? • How students access that content is shifting too: • A shift from labs to 1:1 initiatives • BYOD • BYON
Anytime, Anywhere, Any Device • That’s not bad. We can handle that. • But there is more. Users also want access • From work/school • From home • On the road or vacation • At conferences!
Anytime, Anywhere, Any Device • There is still more … • The question used to be PC or Mac? • Now the question is: • PC/Mac • Android • iOS • Windows Mobile • Chrome
Anytime, Anywhere, Any Device • What does it all mean???? • In short, users want access: • At any time • From anywhere • On any device
Anytime, Anywhere, Any Device • That’s too much. We can’t manage that! • YOU’RE RIGHT! • DON’T MANAGE IT. EMBRACE IT!!
…really? • That’s great. But how do we do that? • You need three things: • Big pipes • Ubiquitous wireless • A platform agnostic delivery system
Big Pipes • You need the ability to move large amounts of data • Between sites • To the Internet • Lots of devices needing lots of access will require big pipes
Big Pipes • Wireless • Site-to-site • To Internet • Home • Hosted content • Data will move in new ways
Ubiquitous Wireless • Anywhere, Any Device will require wireless • Laptops/Tablets • BYOD • Assume 2 to 3 devices PER person • Lots of wireless for your big pipes
Platform Agnostic Delivery • Support for District owned & BYOD devices • Laptops, netbooks, tablets, phones • Devices in homes & hotels we know nothing about • To reach our goal, we need to support them all
Platform Agnostic Delivery • One option is a portal
Pulling it together • Anywhere, Anytime and Any Device will require … • Big pipes, Ubiquitous Wireless and Agnostic Delivery • It will take time and it is not cheap but it is all out there • So, let’s get to work!
