The new iTunes legal conditions are crystal clear - for school use - a legal, purchased individual copy of the App for each iPad. And you effectively sign this agreement every time you buy an App. As to synching without VLM, you can do it, but only if you have multiple funded iTunes accounts. Then you synch all iPads to one account and Apple apparently accepts this as you have legally bought multiple App copies. To me, it's just as easy to buy the Apps directly on the iPad and not worry about synching until VLMs become available.

And really, this is fair. Can you imagine toiling to create, test and support an app, that was being paid for once by a school (or anyone else), often for a couple of bucks, and being used on 20/50/100 devices by maybe 1000 students (in a HS). You'd feel a bit ripped off! Yes it's a cost - but it is one that we should be factoring in to our school running costs. MS software licensing for desktop / laptop devices is being provided for public schools by education authorities / governments in most states (costing 100's of millions of $$$$) because they believe it supports learning in our classrooms. Hopefully these same authorities are considering how to license software for mobile devices on behalf of schools in the 21st century. Maybe such licensing considerations will become part of the much touted 'local decision making / funding' model??? Warren -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You can either: (i) associate a separate AppleID to each iOS device, so when you buy and app it's then automatically on your device.

I have always found it to be more informative to find out where people are at in their use of ICT outside of school?.. - Do they use a digital camera? - Do they use text? - Do they have a non-work email account? - Did they use TripIt when they went o/s last year? - Do they download songs from iTunes? - Have they ever used Google Docs? - Do they own a smartphone? - Do they use an iPad? - Do they use the Internet for 'news'? - Do they use the Internet to find out what is on at the movies? - Have they ever watched a movie streaming on Apple TV? - Have they used 'the Cloud'? or Facebook? - etc - etc These sort of things are very good pointers to the adoption of the use of ICT to support the curriculum in the classroom. I worked with a teacher earlier this year who was the secretary of his weekend sports club. I showed him how to use Dropbox, and how to share folders with others in the club. The penny dropped - partly because he a had a personal need, and this flow on to using 'emerging technologies' at school. All of a sudden everything was in the cloud. Adopt and adapt. The way most of us work in a classroom is an extension of our non-classroom life - our dress code, our personality, our beliefs and values, etc - and how we use ICT. I think this is a better place to start than quizzing people on how often they use PPT at school.

Lists of so called skills are usually tied to software or operating systems. Using ICT in ones own life is the biggest indicator of use of ICT in the classroom. Lists outdated before they are collated.

In moving to a new school, I have to consider some holiday tasks such as test and tagging of all electrical cables. Is there a way of generating a sequence of serialised tags (eg. CMS0001, CMS0002, ...) where the corresponding barcode or QR code is generated on-the-fly? Is there a way of printing them in-house on a tough waxy-type paper with adhesive backing, so that the tags go straight onto the cable? Is there a good reason to use QR codes for such a low-level task? Does anyone have a source of A4 self-adhesive paper that is fairly robust, like commercially-made asset stickers...so that we might use QR codes on all devices for asset management?

I'm just greedy and would like the government to provide teachers with the technology that would be at least a bit more long lived than it currently is. That is one reason that I purchase my own tech, and am happy to do so. Although, I can't see why the lease is nearly 3 times as much for a Mac over a Lenovo, especially considering that the Mac is a superseded model. Sour grapes, I know.

I want the teachers to be able to log on to the Macserver via "connect to server" and see all the students profiles. They need to be able to open the files and copy etc as needed. The way i have done this in the past is to create a folder in their HOME folder and have the students save all their work there. I did that because when you look at the home folders (Music, Movies, Documents etc) of each student, the folder all have the no access red circle on the folder. I also don't want to be giving out logins and passwords to the server to all the teachers. This seems to have worked in the past for me. BUT ? is it the best way and better still is it the right way to do it?? Can someone enlighten me? 2. When i am setting up a new user in WGM, do i need to have more than one USERS home drive/directory i.e. Administrator, Teachers/TA's and students. it doesn't seem to me to matter. What are the advantages? I am certain i have some of my terminology wrong, so apologies for that. I'm sure some can put me right on that too! Thanks for all the help you are all giving me with things. Its brilliant. This group has become one of my key Personal Learning Networks.

Then have a group for your teachers to have an access control list, which gives them full control over the files. Unfortunately those instructions might not make much sense to most folks, but I think thats what you need to do. You can look on youtube to see some videos on "afp server" that might help you out.

Apple simplifies it, but you need to understand the basics so that you can have the confidence/ability to achieve your goals. I'm having a hard time following what you had done previously, so I can't comment on it. But in short, you need an ACL (access control list) to ensure that the teachers will have access to the students files, but these ACL's should not be on home directories as it will affect the performance of the server.

For instance we have both staff and student group structures. For students we have : default student group, a JP group, a Sr primary group, year level and class groups. This allows us to assign access rights, print budgets, web filters, dock items and wiki permissions in the right places. So.. A student is a member of a particular class which gives them r/w privileges to their class folder in a share point called "shared files". They get read privileges to the year level resources, a default student print budget, access to read their year level wiki page and edit their class page, and the right web filtering policy. Once you setup your groups to allow for the way you want things to work, you can define the ACLs once and avoid further access issues. This reesign came from ACL inconsistencies and resulting frustrations. For staff we have a less complicated structure desktop or laptop user, print budget and staff policy for Internet and wiki access. The wiki side is great as Apple Wiki Server interfaces with the groups in OD. We prefix these management groups with MCX_ so we know which are management groups. I started with a diagram showing how I wanted this to work then had someone with the technical knowhow implement. Happy to share if you want to contact me off list. chaynes at immanuelps.sa.edu.au Chistine Haynes ICT Coordinator Immanuel Primary School On 09/12/2011, at 11:30 PM, Mark Stone <3stonesintripoli at gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks Dave > Yes this is going to be very useful ? in fact it will save my life! > Brilliant > > Mark > > On 9 Dec 2011, at 13:50, Dave Hounsell wrote: > >> http://wazmac.com/servers_network/fileservers/osxserver_setupnotes.htm >> >> From: Mike Parker >> To: maced at zeus.as.edu.au >> Cc: PHILIP KENNETH REDHEAD >> Sent: Friday, 9 December 2011 8:14 PM >> Subject: Re: [Maced] Macserver questions >> >> Hi Mark, >> >> I think what you want to do is setup a shared folder on your server and give the students access (probably through a group) to either read and write, or just write.

Are you wanting all teachers to have access to students home folders? The option Apple would suggest is telling the students to move their completed files from their Documents folder to the Public folder as this folder gives everyone read access. However this then also gives all other students read access too. The other thing you can do is adjust the permissions on students home folders to enable staff to read, easily done BUT BE CAREFUL using these commands if you are unfamiliar with them! Do you know how to use Terminal and chgrp (or even chmod)? I'm assuming your setup is like this: \Users\student1 \Users\student1\Desktop \Users\student1\Documents \Users\student1\Library \Users\student1\Music etc.. \Users\student2 You could run this command on the root folder of all students home folders (ie cd to \) sudo chgrp -R teachers_group Users What this does is "sudo" means run this as super user or root, it will ask for your administrators password, "chgrp" is a command to change the group owner of a file, "-R" is recursive so will continue for all files and folders within this folder, "teachers_group" is the group of teachers in Open Directory or Active Directory and finally "Users" is the name of the folder that houses all your students home folders. So this command will set all members of the "teachers_group" permission to read all files within Users. NOTE: If you also have your Staffs home folders on this same server in the same location it will apply these settings to them too, therefore your teachers will be able to see all other teachers home folders. If this is the case we may need to look at adjusting the script using a grep to only do it to students. Be very careful when using sudo and chgrp, if it is done in the wrong place or with the wrong settings things can really be stuffed up!!! What we prefer to do is we have what we call a "Assignment Drop Folder" which is a shared folder on the server. Staff have read/write access and students have read access. Within this folder I have a folder for each teacher where students don't have read access but they have write access. This then enables the students when they have completed to Drop their completed assignment into their teachers Drop Folder as they have permission to write, but students can't read to see other students work. This is much easier on the teachers as they only have to access one folder to collect all the assignments rather than looking through all of their students home folders and trying to find the correct file. I would highly recommend a solution more like this.

When I log on to the Mac server via 'connect to server' I can see all the USER home directories. However when i open one up i find i don't have permission to open 'documents' or 'Music' etc. I have had this problem in the past and have just created another folder with all that students profile work in it.

Students could view on their own iPads (a few have their own), iPod Touches / iPhones (most students would have one) or their Mac Book (DER funded). What is the best way of managing this? I presume we'd need a paper trail show we bought 25 copies of a book. Is it OK to then remotely wipe the PDF of the book off a MacBook, without knowing what else has happened to the digital file? Some kids bring their own device, so we don't have the ability to remotely do anything. We would need a way of 'consuming' the text, other than on an iOS device...ie. also on a computer. Books in iTunes seem to only be usable on an iOS device. Other eBook sellers seem to have a proprietary app to allow consumption. Eg Trash by Andy Mulligan Available as an ebook $8.99 http://www.randomhouse.com/book/204471/trash-by-andy-mulligan At the moment we buy a class set of novels, then lose 4 or 5, have 3 damaged, and then they sit unused in the back of the library. Looking to build a digital library. Interested in your collective wisdom! Regards, Matt. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Years ago (like 20), I stashed an Apple IIe destined for the tip behind the header water tank at my old school. Now that I'm returning there next year, I'll have to see if anyone has discovered it. As an aside, I can remember a wonderful shortcut in AppleWorks on my Apple IIc, where I could use Cmd-Number from 1-9 to go 10%, 20%, etc through my document (approximated). It was instant. Admittedly there were no graphics embedded, but it was lightening fast...would love to see this feature re-installed. Regards, Matt.

Def was Christmas for them. Had to use my iPad to fix the Bondi Blue iMac that my techspert Grade 6er was planning to take home. Remembering old system 9 stuff was a real memory jogger. Suddenly it rebooted in OS9 and not in OS X, so we googled on the ipad and there on the Apple site were the instructions to change the startup disk. Apple magic 12years on. How's the clean up going everyone? My lab is now in many classrooms shared around the school. It's lovely. Next the job of updating 40 iPads and 30 iPods. Hmmm. Looks like I get to stay at school and miss the movies excursion tomorrow. cheers from Jenny PS. I mostly tweet @jjash but know you guys are the real Mac lovers and would apreciate some old stuff.
