The incident was first forwarded to Help Desk 7th June, 8 weeks later technicians arrive to install. The first call to help desk was pushed to the next level where I was asked to check a few things for testing - carried out these tests and the guy informed me that the projector required replacement. The incident was then passed to region and was informed they would contact me - no response after 2-3 weeks so logged another call to help desk - same response - finally Region arrived carried out the same tests I was instructed to do - another 2 weeks and no response - further call to help desk and the end of term 2 - with a possible date next term or during the holidays - but could give no concrete date for holidays - Term 3 - week 1 no response - next call to help desk - passed to next level - where someone informs me this is old and should have been fixed !!!!!! Another call and finally the delivery - but no it is the new cpc server - week 2 projector arrives and installation date is set for 3rd August. That's over 8 weeks interruption to children's learning. Is there another way? Now I have no complaints about the guy on Help desk - mostly got Brendan - who must be tired of calls from me - but thanks. The system needs a drastic overhaul.

You must have some remaining earlier version files. According to SMART tech support, this is caused by corruption of the install key due to the new over old install. It like to drove me crazy. UNinstall 10.8 and everything else you can find except the gallery files. You may have to actually trash the SMART product drivers folder as the uninstall did not work possibly due to version conflict. This cleared the problem up at once. There is a lot to like in 10.8. SMART has not previously recommended uninstalling except for major upgrades and they have always put it on the site. I went 10.6 to 10.7 to 10.8 no drama, but the second install was a fairly early 10.6 to 10.8. It didn't ask for the code the second time. Saw the same problem with a 10.7 to 10.8 on Windows (admittedly Vista) I only slightly crossly suggested they put a release note on their site-they were quite helpful.

I'd set up the iPads when we got them late last year, and must have left my proxy authentication in prior to us using an unauthenticated proxy for iPads.

"''The laptops are configured to cater for the curriculum, but if students download programs not related to the curriculum, this has the potential to slow their curriculum applications,'' the spokesman said. http://www.smh.com.au/technology/technology-news/digital-revolution-a-bit-slower-than-expected-20110815-1iuw2.html The most common complaint I hear from schools is that they CAN'T install additional curriculum software on the computers, because they are too locked-down. Is this not the case? Are student's able to install other applications? Or is the 'spokesman' clutching at straws? I think that the bottom line here is that those who are implementing these types of programs are trying to apply an old paradigm to new technologies. Netbooks are intended to be used with Web 2 apps, such as Google Docs, Evernote, etc, not to host "managed images" containing Microsoft Office or the plethora of memory-hungry Adobe apps that have been installed. (I don't think the netbooks meet the basic specs for these apps anyway?) It is a similar scenario facing those who are exploring the use of iPads in the curriculum - it is a new paradigm. A new way of doing things. Unfortunately most of the software tools required to make the most of these new hardware technologies are 'Cloud technologies' , and are not available on many school networks. It's the result old-fashioned thinking from another era. Classroom opportunities are being stymied by office-bound bureaucrats.

No experience necessary. I'm aiming for communication skills as well as the Science/Maths Please message me off list if you're happy to contribute You'll find the kids' work at: http://teams.as.edu.au/groups/year10extmathsscience1/wiki/8552a/Term_3_Units.html At the bottom of the page you'll see a link to the students work areas Thanks in anticipation Cheers Martin ______________________________________ Martin Levins, Director of Information Technology The Armidale School (TAS), Locked Bag 3003, Armidale 2350, Australia +61 4 2910 7806 - martin.levins at mac.com - facebook.com/martin.levins - twitter.com/martinlevins Do you get more than 10 emails a day?

On the 13th of September I will be releasing the first lot of survey results from the students (dispels a lot of the myths of the program from student perspectives). The program has made a dramatic difference to our year 10's engagement and the quality of their work, If you are keen also I invite anyone to come to an open day we having, anyone is most welcome to register and come.?http://www.kolbe.wa.edu.au/mobile-learning-with-ipads/? How are people coping with the document-centric nature of iPads, compared to computers using a traditional file structure. This issue was an interesting one, I guess its a question that the students have not asked me. Generally speaking any work they are producing on the iPad is controlled by the application Goodreader. We use this App for students to put worksheets into and access files from the shared drives. They are able to create a sudo filing structure in the app through the creation of folders for each of their subjects etc. The only time that this might not be true is if they are viewing an ePub or they still have the document in the Pages app itself. Overall its not an issue as such. ? Are ipads meeting your expectations as text book replacements? At the college the only way have used the iPad at a text book replacement is if the book we have in hard copy has a PDF with it also. Students categorically comment that this is one of the best things about the iPads as they don't have to lug it around anymore, no risk of losing it (we have a book hire system, low socioeconomic) and they always have it with them at home or school. So in just time saved in these things it is more than meeting the expectations.? ?How are students finding them for essay writing, ie. are they adapting to the onscreen keyboard and is there enough screen real estate left for effective creative writing? It was one of the first things we noticed with the program, a student opting to sit typing an essay or document up in front of a desktop computer (i have the picture to prove it). Because the iPad only really allows for one view, either the web or the document for taking the notes (of course unless you have an app) the issue of screen real-estate is not a big issue. If anything we have seen student do it both ways with hand writing notes while viewing a webpage on the iPad or vice versa. I am not sure if I have answered this question in the way you want. ?Has anyone succeeded in enabling printing across the school network? The simple answer is yes, its not that hard, and it requires a little bit of creativity. We use papercut as our printing client and we have the ability to make them use air print to authenticate to paper cut which charges them and allows them to print just as if it was a laptop. Now... I say this with the following in mind, ?we do not allow at this stage students to print because we feel that while the function is not with our ideal networks of cloud and digital submissions. However, paper cut will be releasing their web print version in late 2011, but I am saying you don't have to wait if you don't want too and I would not rather use a third party app to get paper cut to work when it will have its own solution soon anyway. I can give you more details on this.? ? How efficient and effective is it to use webDAV servers to transfer documents between teachers and students? This is highlighly effective, transfer rates to our shared network drives as if you were dragging it from your laptop and good reader again is integrated with webDAV along with pages and keynote (iMovie for some reason does not, really annoying). I would however point out that we use wikis ALOT at the college and find this our number one method for accessing our documents and use webdav for submissions as the wiki 10.6 does not allow editing of a wiki (10.7 does I believe, stay tuned) ? How well do iPads fit into your learning management system? We don't use one - we use Wikis as a sudo learning management system, each department controls the wikis for its subjects and ALL students have their own wiki for their digital portfolios. Zero cost and great rewards. wiki.kolbe.wa.edu.au or mswiki.kolbe.wa.edu.au or sswiki.kolbe.wa.edu.au ?How effective is the Dragon Dictate app? ? Who knows, don't use it :) I will ask a student for you :) ? What are the relative merits of?iEtherpad.com?and Google Docs? This is something we are toying with at the moment, iEtherpad is a great utility for conversations and collaboration and highly recommend it for use with a whole class discussion. The Google Docs issue i think is, in my opinion, like using the wrong tool for the job. Students at Kolbe generally find Pages suits their whole needs and collaboration for these devices is something we are not settled on works well in any system for documents. Conversations we use wikis and blogs for.? Kolbe: Filemaker and DropBox icons in your docco indicate their usage with students - can you expand? I can say that both now are obsolete in the space since i have published that document. We have seen no use, as yet for either of these for our student body as wordpress etc becomes easier to use to create information systems on. wptouch etc? ? Ignoring the current desktop/iPad linkage, are you otherwise finding that the ipad can be used as a desktop/laptop replacement? I think that it is important here to point out that we don't believe they are desktop replacements as a 100%. I think in time yes they will be but in my opinion not yet I think that the philosophy we have at kolbe works well for us. In years 7-9 there is an inherent need to have a laptop to learn the skills that are required for the production of documents that represent the creation aspects. In years 10 - 12 we believe that access and consumption is the goal (forced on us by exams) so the iPad suits that role better. I think it is important to point out too that this space changes a lot, we forget that it is only the second generation and I think that the end of 2012 will be a very different picture. Creation will get better on the iPad and something else will come up. It is really about the right tool for the right job at the time and be willing to ensure that content is the main thing that is being taught in what ever package it may come in.? Sorry for being a little preachy but it is my passion and I have seen the positive impact that this has had with some of our students engagement in the classroom. It is amazing how many new friends I have :) Regards Bradley Tyrrell Head of Digital Technology Kolbe Catholic College Rockingham WA On 22 Aug, 2011,at 08:09 AM, David Jones wrote: Hello Chris, Bradley & Simon, Bradley, your Kolbe documentation is very informative.

We both made the decision independent of each other which was interesting. We chose it because it is not a restrictive top down management system like most of the LMS's we looked at. LIFE has all those management features but it is a far more collaborative environment. The schools that have taken it on already are quite enthusiastic about it. As such we prefer to think of it as our new TLS- Teaching and Learning System.

For the sake of clarity, each iOS Device used serially by multiple users requires a separate license.> This clause makes it very difficult for schools to manage fleets of iPads, because each iPad needs a discrete iTunes account. Why is volume licensing not available in Australia - or have I missed something? Some software companies allow schools to purchase two copies of their Application and this constitutes a site licence (eg Maths Circus). Now, wouldn't that be a wonderful thing on the App store!?

We have taken on a new Learning System based on collaborative practices hence we disregarded anything that called itself an LMS. We wanted our new system to be the opposite of a top down LMS. So our teachers and students are being encouraged to collaborate in this way but it is an open world within a protective wall. But within that wall their work can be opened to as many people as they want, anywhere in the world - if they use the same LS. We ultimately want this to beak down the distance barriers across our archdiocese and create more collaborative practices within and across schools. The process is quite transparent with parents having access as well. Nor sure if this is what you are looking for . . .

The simple answer is yes, its not that hard, and it requires a little bit of creativity. We use papercut as our printing client and we have the ability to make them use air print to authenticate to paper cut which charges them and allows them to print just as if it was a laptop. Now... I say this with the following in mind, we do not allow at this stage students to print because we feel that while the function is not with our ideal networks of cloud and digital submissions. However, paper cut will be releasing their web print version in late 2011, but I am saying you don't have to wait if you don't want too and I would not rather use a third party app to get paper cut to work when it will have its own solution soon anyway.

No issues with the sharing, we are all on the journey together and the work done by myself and the staff at Kolbe college will be shared with all. On the 13th I will release a large selection of findings for the Australian Community to use. I hadn't used GoodReader before, so have been playing with it. Interesting app. It's a pity Apple hasn't so far made Pages more open in its ability to transfer docs to other apps. Some of the more interesting aspect for these apps are to come, with no update for a while I crystal ball a radical change for this in the not to distant future. Are you saying that students generally use ipads more for note taking than for writing longer pieces, eg. essays? In the main yes, but again more and more I think this is change, next weeks survey is based on curriculum and focus on use by department, going to be very interesting. A question I have to the community is if anyone has got any stats on grade improvements with the iPads. We only have 1 assessment last year compared to this year so far but curious about others statistics on this topic.

Unfortunately there is no iBooks for the Mac and so far iTunes does not read iBooks either. Because iBooks uses the ePub standard there are a number of MacBook apps (Adobe Digital Editions, Calibre to name two) which will allow you to read ePubs you've made yourself but you may not have luck with ones you've purchased. But the bigger problem is that while Apple have kept to the standards (ePub is basically just zipped HTML with a specific internal folder structure) none of the Mac solutions read the video and audio that you can put in Pages-authored ePub. This is the only thing stopping me moving to ePub as standard for all my resources... not having a compatible MacOS reader in a 1-to-1 Mac school means it's not worth the work. A huge shame because the media capabilities make it a better solution than PDF etc. for resourcing and for kids to publish their own stuff. And iBooks is sexy!

Now that would be news to me! Of course I'm aware that you can publish ePub from Pages (I've referred to that below) - my point and Blitto's question is that there isn't an 'iBooks' for Mac OS and that the readers for MacOS don't read the multimedia elements of ePub that Pages can export. Actually, the ePub reader that Greg mentioned as a plug-in for Firefox had more success in my tests than Calibre or Adobe Digital Editions.

Calibre and the other solutions don't play the media, don't look as nice and don't really have the same functionality. I wonder what the logic is for apple not having an eBook reader? You would have thought it would have been a really easy thing to do. Some other dark plan maybe? Regardless, if you have Pages and use lots of iPads in your school, it is a fantastic way to get kids and staff actually creating their own content.

Students categorically comment that this is one of the best things about the iPads as they don't have to lug it around anymore, no risk of losing it (we have a book hire system, low socioeconomic) and they always have it with them at home or school.

Because the iPad only really allows for one view, either the web or the document for taking the notes (of course unless you have an app) the issue of screen real-estate is not a big issue. If anything we have seen student do it both ways with hand writing notes while viewing a webpage on the iPad or vice versa.

We use papercut as our printing client and we have the ability to make them use air print to authenticate to paper cut which charges them and allows them to print just as if it was a laptop. Now... I say this with the following in mind, we do not allow at this stage students to print because we feel that while the function is not with our ideal networks of cloud and digital submissions. However, paper cut will be releasing their web print version in late 2011, but I am saying you don't have to wait if you don't want too and I would not rather use a third party app to get paper cut to work when it will have its own solution soon anyway.
