If I didn't have admin rights I would bring my own laptop and give back depmt laptop. No one has time to wait for someone else to put on a username and password just to update java or something. Our staff have always had admin rights on our MacLaptops, has never caused probs. Perhaps less work for techs is the problem for techs who like to run the school.

While there is certainly an important discussion to be had around educationally-related apps, and the pedagogy of their use in classrooms, I feel that the bigger picture should be about how a person operates across multiple devices - desktops, phones, tablets, laptops - from various locations, be it school or elsewhere. It is disappointing to see some schools using the iPad for 'edutainment' because the cloud-based apps and online storage areas are not accessible from school networks, or devices like the iPad don't provide easy access for multiple users. I think the big discussion, and the success or otherwise of new technologies in schools, will be about 'how' we do things, not 'what' we use to do these things. When was the last time I really needed to use MS Office or Adobe Anything?

Have you tried under Tools -> Accounts for Username use "Domain\Username" combination, and go to advance and put in the mail server's Outlook Web Access (OWA) (eg.

Outlook 2011 is already a lot better than the PC equivalent and also Entourage IMO, but still a bit difficult to setup for no reason.

There weren't any Preferences set for com.apple.Safari. This makes me wonder why the home page keeps changing, as if a preference was always being managed. I've changed your 2009 group as an example... 1. Select the group you want to manage the Safari homepage for in WGM. 2. Click the Preferences button in the toolbar, then click the Details tab next to Overview. 3. Double-click the entry for Safari (com.apple.Safari). If it's not listed, you can click the + button at the bottom of the list and add the Safari application to list its preference manifests. 4. Click the triangle next to always. 5. Click the "New Key" button, a new item will be created underneath "Always". 6. Click on "New Item" and a popup menu will appear, select "Homepage". 7. Change the Value field to the desired homepage, i.e. http://server.kiama-p.schools.nsw.edu.au/ 8. Click the "Apply Now" button and then "Done". You could save a bit of time and have a plist ready to go with the correct settings which you can add to multiple groups at once, otherwise it has to be done one at a time! HTH.

The most important step forward is to make sure that teachers are confident about using Macs in the classroom, integrating IT into every lesson rather than only using the laptop as a tool for surfing the net. We've been very fortunate in that Winthrop our service provider have made PD a top priority so they've done some free PD and some other PD. My principal set aside all moneys we were going to use for future purchases (like trolleys) for staff PD. The second step was to offer teachers a Mac to take home before the roll out and that has been a big thing too. I've been able to support new Mac teachers in that time too and our IT guys have been putting lots of 'How To' guides up on our Help Desk.

I used WGM and the Folder Redirection (com.apple.MCXRedirector) to symlink certain folders to the local computer including ~/Library/Cache and ~/Movies for iMovie and I redirected them to /tmp/%@/Library/Cache etc plus some others for Adobe and Office. The symlinks appeared to work fine, however some strange behaviour occurred. If a user logged in and opened iMovie, then went to Capture some recording from the iSight, I would receive an error saying "The import was cancelled. You may not have permission to write to /Network/Server/SERVERNAME/data/USERNAME/files/Movies/iMovie Events.localized." I didn't understand why iMovie was still trying to save this to the server. So if I opened the users home folder, double clicked the symlink Movies folder, I would be taken to the local mapped location (both the server and local folders had read/write permissions for the user). If I kept this Finder window open then attempted to re-capture from iMovie it would then successfully save the 'iMovie Projects' and 'iMovie Events' in the local tmp folder. Seems as though the symlink only worked when acted upon through Finder... So whilst continuing testing I removed the symlink to test the performance over the Wireless Network to the server and allowing iMovie to save to the server. The performance wasn't that bad, almost acceptable. I'm still not keen on this happening this way. But the MCXRedirector still wasn't performing correctly, so I turned my attention to try and accomplish the same thing through a Login Hook/script. I set the required defaults on the client to accept login scripts from the OD server: sudo defaults write com.apple.loginwindow EnableMCXLoginScripts -bool TRUE sudo defaults write com.apple.loginwindow MCXScriptTrust -string Anonymous (I started with Authenticated but changed to the lowest security as I couldn't get this to work) Then created a shell script, chmod +e the file to mark it executable, added it to a new Computer Group preference in WGM and refreshed the client. I could see in /Library/Managed Preferences/com.apple.mcxloginscripts was created and I could see the script I created in it so I know the client is receiving the new preferences. The shell script just for testing was simply 'mkdir /Users/Shared/test' however this folder isn't being created on login. I can't find any help in the console. Appears as though the script isn't being run? Hoping someone may of had some more experience in either of these two methods and may offer some advice? If I can get the login scripts to work I may look at working this out the opposite way, forcing local home directories but symlinking the Documents, Desktop and Library folder to the server... _________________________ Sam Osborne IT Technician MacKillop College t : 02 6338 2200 www.mkc.nsw.edu.au From jocknjo1 at bigpond.com Fri Oct 14 22:02:05 2011 From: jocknjo1 at bigpond.com (Jock Webb) Date: Fri, 14 Oct 2011 22:02:05 +1100 Subject: [Maced] SMART Notebook 10.8 no smart products connected Message-ID: Hi folks I've been having some grief with Notebook 10.8- not connecting propwrly ro the board and requiring restart.

Thanks to those others on the list (you know who you are!) who let me know also about a few of these too. The winner goes to Scarlett and I can't tell you how pleased I am to have found an ePub reader that plays back quicktime movies and MP3. None of the others work as iBooks does. I've been hoping to be able to invest serious time into putting all my resources in ePub format and now that my students may be able to read them on their MacBooks as well as their iOS devices I think it is going to be worth it. Next thing will be to find out about volume licensing.

Broulee PS has a wide social spectrum, but the critical mass of new students start school with many skills in advance of their peers from a few years ago. Technology plays a part in this, ?with the school playing a pivotal roll over the years creating a pool of tech savvy kids and teenagers that provide a community resource. We have a large retired contingent, many of whom embrace technology. ADSL2 access made a big difference when it became available. ________________________________ From: Ashby Jenny To: maced at zeus.as.edu.au Sent: Monday, 17 October 2011 10:29 PM Subject: Re: [Maced] Murdoch and Future Schooling We used to worry about reading, now we think about if they can talk.......? ?Jock Webb Funny about that we are having the same conversation and oral language is very much back in vogue. ?There so much that can be done using tech for oral language though, Cheers from Jenny Ashby Leading Teacher ICT Specialist and Administrator ICT Peer Coach?

The machines are 2 years old, Snow Leopard (10.6.8) with Core 2 Duo (64 bit) 2.26 GHz processor, 2GB memory, and 250GB drives. They come in original packaging, have CD and DVD writers, and will have been checked through and any repairs fixed by an Apple serviceperson. They are only 2 years old in January, with 12 months left on Tricare warranty. Cost will be a bit less than last year = $495 inc GST (so 450 nett to schools). We will arrange delivery using our couriers which will be separately charged. First to see will buy, as they say, and first in best dressed.

Very different animals! I always download the latest version available from the SMART Tech web site and do a clean install when doing an image at least. 10.8 has a LOT of file name and location changes as you've already noticed. Here's an old fix I had for installing a clean Notebook v10.6/10.7, but you may have to omit some steps for 10.8? 1. Look in the Applications folder for all "SMART ..." folders. 2. In each of these folders, run the Uninstall application, click Yes and wait to be prompted that the uninstall has complete. 3. Check in /Library/Application Support/ for any "SMART ..." folders, trash them. 4. Check in /Library/Preferences/ for any "com.smart..." files, trash them. 5. Also check in your home folder's Library/Preferences and Library/Application Support/ folders for the same. Also a good idea to run any Apple software updates.

Message-ID: <461E2519-9A42-42A4-8426-9EB7813834D1@mac.com> Collaborative Teaching Case Study Dear colleagues Dr Lorrae Ward and I are interested in hearing from, or learning more about possible case study schools that are making use of a collaborative mode of teaching - where the collaboration is beginning to happen with others outside the schools walls. We are particularly keen to make contact with schools where the teachers are collaborating with the parents, and where appropriate the grandparents or the carers, the students, the school community, the workplace, tertiary institutions and naturally other teachers in the holistic teaching and nurturing of the children?s key academic, cognitive, digital, social and emotional skills and attitudes. In preparing a publication on Leading a Networked School Community Dr Lorrae Ward and I became increasingly conscious of the distinct collaborative style of teaching increasingly being employed by those schools that had normalised the everyday use of the digital by all the staff and which were reaching out beyond the traditional school walls and working with others in the 24/7/365 teaching of the children/students. We?ve used the term Collaborative Teaching to describe the approach. A short article fleshing out the approach can be found at http://malleehome.com While the approach being taken appears very natural, makes immense sense and corresponds with a vast body of research surprisingly this type of in and out of school collaboration rates scant mention in the teaching literature and while greater home-school collaboration has been advocated in public policy documents for some time authentic collaborative teaching with non-education professionals outside the school walls is still rare. The plan is to examine the collaborative approach more fully by way of a suite of case studies drawn from across the developed world, to explore the nature, benefits and possible forms of the approach and identify what schools need do to ready themselves to adopt the approach. We would love to hear from any school, at any level of schooling anywhere in the world that has begun ? even in sections of the school - adopting a more collaborative mode of ?teaching? and who would be willing to share their experience. We?d also like to hear from education authorities planning moves in the area. You can email Lorrae in New Zealand at Lorrae Ward lorrae at cyperus.co.nz? or myself at mallee at mac.com or mallee at me.com Kind regards Mal Lee and Lorrae Ward Author/educational consultant PO Box 5010 Broulee NSW 2537 Australia http://malleehome.com Ph - + 61 2 44717 947 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

On 4 machines after restarting I can choose the boot disk from the HD but it sits for a few seconds and comes up with an icon of a circle with a line through it. At first I thought it may have something to do with not enough power in battery and so made sure battery was charged and power cord was in but it made no difference.

That's a very kind offer! It's the model with 3 x 400Gb drives is it? Would you consider removing the power supply (an easy job - undo the knurled nut and lift) and sending it to me - more than happy to cover costs. The freight cost for the entire unit might be prohibitive. Will understand if you don't wish to cannibalise a currently viable machine. Have attached some shots of our blown P/S for your info.

So let me see if I've got this right - if passcode is not enabled any student can enable it using their own code. Only way to get back in if you don't know the code is a clean wipe. If you enable passcode, and the student powers off, passcode is needed to use again. Anyone know a way to hide this feature, or turn it off? We use a code for restricting access to adult stuff, deleting apps etc. But we didn't want a code to turn them on. If you give the code to students, they can change it. Sigh!

This means you need to enter a passcode to go into the restrictions settings - here you can disable access to certain features including installing and deleting apps. Works for us. Dave Burke.

Our students charge them at night and leave all the cables etc at home. If they use them all day and they still have charge. The iPads are now 8 months old. We still have cables at school they can use, only had to loan to one student when she didn't charge hers over the weekend but used it. I use mine less frequently than the students and I only charge it once a fortnight/week depending on use. _________________________ Sam Osborne IT Technician MacKillop College t : 02 6338 2200 www.mkc.nsw.edu.au On 30/10/2011, at 8:39 PM, Mark Stone wrote: > Hi there > Can anyone give me some idea of how long the iPad batteries are lasting , presuming they are being used all the time at school.
