is an app the right thing or would an ibook or something else do the job<br />
<br />
ios developer enterprise or ios developer program. it takes time to set this up. need a DUNS number to set up the account.<br />
<br />
the gaming element of this app will entice kids to use it. it also makes this app more appropriate for an app rather than an ibook.<br />

if it needs sound, make sure it is done professionally. audacity works but is not the best quality.<br />

Moving Toward the Cloud<br />
Migration of a 6-college consortium data center to a virtual hosted platform<br />
Jerry Smith, Russ Francis<br />
Associated Colleges of Central Kansas<br />
<br />
6 private colleges located around MCPherson migrated from a standard shared date center to a hosted environment.<br />
They already hosted the data from the colleges at a remote location, so they were already uxed to the hosted environment.<br />
<br />
cost to do hosted system - 354K<br />
cost of hardning data center - 447K<br />
<br />
consider costs for providing extra capacity when hosting data in-house vs buying just what is needed and buying more as needed.<br />
<br />
Things that were learned.<br />
it changes the role of IT and IT staff <br />
relationship building is critical. you need to know who to go to get the job done.<br />
try to reduce the differences in equipment as much as possible.<br />
<br />
conclusions<br />
<br />
small to medium sized college is "sweet spot" for hosted infrastructure.<br />
capabilities for business continuity of a Tier 4 infrastructure outrweighs cost.Dave Dunnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14158472978800142435noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8981878550192930379.post-27432835934785822362012-05-23T13:45:00.003-07:002012-05-24T07:20:48.828-07:00CHECK 2012<br />

You appear to be more rounded if you show the different parts of your life. Often you may get response from people who are outside your regular scene.<br />If someone requests to friend you how do you decide yes or no? Some people friend people who are friends of friends. Some are very selective. <br />"If we just apply all the things we should do in other settings, we have to realize we are in a glass house and act accordingly."<br />An excellent place to put you social settings is in your eXtension profile.<br />Comments on a blog are left open and the bad ones are overpowered by the good ones.Dave Dunnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14158472978800142435noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8981878550192930379.post-29276996179647084712010-05-26T12:47:00.000-07:002010-05-26T13:30:56.883-07:00Gadgets and GizmosPresenter - Rusty Presley Auburn University<br />Revolabs X-tag lipstick microphone.<br />USB to VGA framegrabber by Epiphan used to capture video source like a webcam.<br />Ipad<br />Caster for the Ipad for podcasting in remote areas.<br />Myfi card from Verizon, etc to be used as a wi-fi hotspot to take care of up to 5 wi-fi devices.<br />Evernotes - for Ipad or Iphone.

There has to be at least one person managing it so that if a question does not get answered in 48 hours, it is reassigned to some one else.<br /> Alabama has questions go to the county OP and they route the questions to the appropriate agent. <br /> Most use it similar to a phone call, just another way to get the call.<br />Agents have to sign up to be sent questions.<br />Ohio State is using wranglers to send the question out to the agent.<br />A selling point is when a question is answered, it is stored in the master database and you can modify it to fit your direct question.<br />Need to train agents about eXtension as well. Then train them about the widget.<br />Texas has all of their agent training documents and videos on their web site www.tamu.edu/ittoolbox. They are available to be taken and modified by anyone. Don't re-invent the wheel. http://ittoolbox.tamu.edu/Dave Dunnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14158472978800142435noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8981878550192930379.post-88517564232170034872010-05-26T09:00:00.001-07:002010-05-26T09:44:25.073-07:00Building a presence in virtual worldsPresented by Larry Havenstein - Kansas State University<br /><span class="mw-headline"><span style="font-size:100%;">Found on Google Wave at with:public netc2010</span></span><br /><br />What do you want to do in the world?<br />Second Life Grid<br />Teen Grid<br />OpenSim Grid<br />Blue Mars Online<br /><br />Second Life - Easy, low learning curve, available, easy to get Griefed, Content not secure, Have to be 18, Objects lack realism<br /><br />SL Teen Grid - Is like Second Life, Only teens and approved adults, Has all problems of SL, Rules are so restrictive that often it won't work for youth projects<br /><br />OpenSim - Is like SL, Can be run on your servers, Age is decided by local owner, Public Grids, No security, Griefing is easier, Many SL features missing, Never Ending Beta<br /><br />Blue Mars - Build with 3D modeling tools, Better Details, allows teens, high security, locally cached, more agents, building takes extra knowledge, is still in development, local caching requires updates<br /><br />Most building is done in Sketchup from Google then imported out to Blue Mars programs and finally to the online dities.Dave Dunnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14158472978800142435noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8981878550192930379.post-31441139944969859202010-05-26T08:00:00.000-07:002010-05-26T08:45:30.644-07:00What are you reading and whyPresenters - TerryMeisenbach & Kevin Gamble<br />Available on Google Wave - with:public netc2010<br /><br />Went to this session to see what others are reading. <br /><br />Marketing books, Motivational books, Calculus book, Brain Research books, Team Building books, language and style books.<br />Technibble.com, Good Reads.comDave Dunnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14158472978800142435noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8981878550192930379.post-11802196964379406902010-05-26T06:51:00.001-07:002010-05-26T07:35:17.110-07:00What do you do with a Careless UserPresenter - Scott Wilson Oklahoma State University<br />Available on Google Wave - with:public netc2010<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Careless Users Credo</span><br />Never Change Passwords<br />Password will be my dog's name<br />I will use same password everywhere<br />Any Phishing is legitimate<br />all popups are let=git<br />Updating is what other people do<br />my actions do not affect anyone<br /><br />The careless user will always fall prey to parasites because he does not have the perception to penetrate the deception.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Perception VS Deception</span><br /><br />Perception requires that we adopt a posture of awareness about our computing environment to be aware of the predators.<br /><br />It requires defensive computing.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Barriers to Defensive Computing</span><br />1) Entertainment Attitude<br />2) Sense of being overwhelmed<br />3) Lack of understanding consequences/Lack of sense of Responsibility<br />4) "Mysterious" nature of information technology<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Overcoming the Barriers</span><br />Education<br />Documentation<br />Isolation<br />Evolution/attrition<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">OSU's Solutions </span><br /><br />Training for Facebook Twitter and others<br />Safety Training required once a quarter<br />Partnering with other Universities<br />Dawning of a new era of understanding between users and techs<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Careful Users Credo</span><br />Understand password security<br />Spot phishing emails and not reply to them<br />Others.Dave Dunnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14158472978800142435noreply@blogger.com0
