To my mind, the only true WYSIWYG editor is iWeb. Things like Dreamweaver are pretty good, but complicated. And web sites created by these things are a pain to edit on an iPad. (html only) The best option that I have found for editing web pages on an iPad is the latest version of Wordpress. In previous versions you had to mess around in HTML. The latest version includes non-html editing in the editing window. But it still doesn't provide the 'WYSIWYG' layout freedom of iWeb, etc. Warren On 06/02/2012, at 3:46 PM, kel at edugator.net.au wrote: > I think iPads are brilliant but it's inability to display a WYSIWYG editor is a pretty big drawback for us.

Message-ID: <99788284-8A46-4E7D-9744-043B3A55653B@gmail.com> I'm wondering if anyone can assist. We have a batch of mac laptops being used by Stage 3. We are a windows system but have our own mac server. The way they were set up was as follows. The machines were ghosted with a set image. This gave everybody the school desktop - programs and settings. They opened to this when turned on (no login). We had a shortcut for the students when they wanted to access the mac server. Click on it and it required their mac server login. When they wanted the internet or windows document folder - they clicked on it and it required their windows login. This worked ok ( of sorts) but we were running into permission issues and kids not being able to save to home drives. We decided to change it - so the students logged into the mac server at start up - they then got mac home drives, iphoto, imovie, pages etc all automatically saved to their home folder. It just seemed a lot smoother. If they wanted the internet - they would click on Safari and it would call for their windows login and get them out onto the internet. This seems to be working well ( only been doing it since Wednesday). My question is regarding the image that the students get. At the moment - they get the standard "space" type desktop and no set preferences in Safari. What I would like to do is when they login they get the school logo set desktop. Also when they open Safari they get a tool bar that displays links to various programs/ bookmarks that we have set. These are present when I just have a ghosted machine but disappear when they login to the network. I have had a look in the programs preferences etc in the server but can't really find anywhere that allows me to be that specific. Any one able to assist ? I'm sure I'm overlooking something obvious.

This can be set in the image, BUT the server accounts will overwrite it. It can be set on the server (when the kids "home" account is first created, either on first logon or forced by clicking the work group manager "create home now" button) the settings in the home directory are made from a "template". You can read about this on, as an example: http://www.peachpit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=437093&seqNum=13 Another way to look at the above can be found at Warren's excellent site: http://www.wazmac.com/servers_network/fileservers/osxserver_setup/user_template.htm I would not do the above (and the above does not fix any accounts already created), but instead I would set these preferences using WGM. This would affect all existing accounts, and you can set it so that students can not change it (easily ...), but it adds extra complexity to your debug and diagnostics if/when the proverbial hits the fan. download section 11 of Warrens notes at: http://www.wazmac.com/servers_network/fileservers/osxserver_setup/osxserver106_setup.htm and know that lots of things can be manipulated through WGM, but some of them require slightly more arcane text insertion (don't let that put you off !). I would recommend a perusal of the following, and (in stages, be comfortable with what you are doing and how much you are learning) implement bits of it: http://www.interrupt19.com/2009/09/03/7-workgroup-manager-tricks-managed-macs/ > ... when they login they get the school logo set desktop. > Also when they open Safari they get a tool bar that displays > links to various programs/ bookmarks that we have set. The above should get you all this. > These are present when I just have a ghosted machine but > disappear when they login to the network. Which is because their "home" folder has a Library (preferences) folder, and this takes precedence over the machines defaults. Good luck, there is a lot of fun to be had, but proceed at a pace that keeps you close (but just out of) your comfort zone. -- John Barlow straw bale owner-builder http://www.guru.com.au/farm/ Officially recognised Transition Town Trainer http://transition.org.au/ From mallee at mac.com Mon Feb 13 08:00:00 2012 From: mallee at mac.com (Mal Lee) Date: Mon, 13 Feb 2012 08:00:00 +1100 Subject: [Maced] Future BYOT Case Studies: An opportunity Message-ID: Future BYOT Case Studies An opportunity Dear colleagues As we move to complete the manuscript for BYOT for ACER Press we?ve already decided on a follow up work that will explore BYOT in action in a range of case study schools around the developed world. The intention is to collaborate with those schools, to pass on the advice gleaned in writing BYOT, to act as a consultant and guide as the schools implement their model and in turn to learn from the school?s experience. Would your school be interested in being one of those case studies? You?d need to be looking to make the move to a model of BYOT within the next six months. And vitally you?d need to have the principal?s affirmation of the school?s intended move. If you are let us know. As you?d appreciate we?ll be looking at a range of situations, and clearly can?t take everyone but it may well be a case of the early bird catching the worm. We?d particularly like case studies from Australia, New Zealand, the UK and the US but are open to other situations.

However, by connecting via an ethernet cable, the Apple TV gets an IP address and wireless devices like the iPad can connect to it (as long as they are on the same IP range) and mirror their screens. The same with Macs or PCs running iTunes - they will still appear under the "Computers" tab on the Apple TV - and so music, movies and the like can be streamed from them to the Apple TV. I have tested this is 3 or 4 schools and it all works fine. In our corporate environment (Head Office and District offices), however, the wired and wireless IP ranges are not connected (separate VLANs) and so only wired devices can see the Apple TVs - so I can stream from my iTunes on my computer but my iPad does not find the Apple TV.

I had actually wiped the entire drive and reinstalled everything except my standard range of apps and the documents themselves from backup. Notebook I went from install dmg. However there was a trace, because it picked up some non standard settings, some little thing must have imported from the backup. I checked the drive from install disk, repaired permissions. However when I removed SMART Notebook 10.8 the crashing ceased. I had to go through another account to prevent the uninstaller from crashing. Since then no crash whatsoever in 4 days. However I need Notebook. 10.8 has been problematic, with recognition of hardware which long dialog with SMART did not resolve. NOTHING like what I have seen recently however . 10.7 did not do this, but I could not get it to install despite uninstalling 10.8. The only other recent event was the change from Firefox 3.6 to 10 which is not an entirely useful upgrade. I have not added anything else. What I would really like to do is eliminate Notebook 10.8 completely and try 10.7. I do not know where to find every last piece that it leaves.

Thankfully editing the javaScript is rather painless and pretty straightforward. Note that is is for Server Snow Leopard, I can't confirm that this will work for Server Lion, but they ought to be similar enough right? So, on OS X Server's filesystem, head to: /usr/share/collaboration/javascript/ and find a file called: compressed_wiki.js Make a backup of this file, then edit it in your text editor of choice. Find a string of text that is: Code: isiPad You should see something like: Code: {id:'toolbars',className:'toolbars',style:(SafariFixes.isiPad?'visibility:hidden' :'')} Simply change hidden to visible and save the file. You'll need to restart the web service for the changes to take effect, but afte you do, you should have fully iPad editable wiki content!

The easiest way I have found is to install Server Admin Tools onto a workstation/server and build up your image on another Mac. Once that image is ready to capture then run the Image Creation tool on the WKS or Server you are wanting to capture too. I can't remember the steps using Image Creation tool as I'm currently rebuilding the mac on my desk. But once you have set up Image creation tool to capture the imge you need a Firewire cable in between from the two machines, Start the To-be captured machine in target disk mode and then the rest should be simple from there. When I get the server admin tools installed I'll write back with the steps. But otherwise you should be able to find the process online. Hope this helps. Regards. Keiran Shelden?

If you don't have a server where you can use DeployStudio, or a similar network re-imaging tool, then you will need an external HD that can be used to boot each computer and then re-image from the drive. Takes about 30 mins per computer. In a nutshell... 1. You will need to partition your external HD and install Mac OSX on one of the partitions; 2. Boot your 'master' computer from the external HD and use Disk Utility to make an image, and store it on the second partition; 3. Boot your 'to-be-imaged' computer from the external HD and use Disk Utility to re-image the computer from the image stored on the second partition. If you have lots of computers (and no network re-imaging facility) then buy a couple more HDs!

I look after all the Casper installs and tech support for Casper here in Australia and I have now done many installations in Perth although mainly in the Catholic and independent space. Casper can help with being able to send out software packages, updates, scripts and printers with printer drivers straight to the computers without them having to be brought back one by one and having them repaired and updated by the engineer. This is really only a small part of what Casper can provide and there is also a iOS management component to casper as an option. Take a look - more info available here - http://www.caspersuite.com.au and the Casper overview is also available from here - http://www.jamfsoftware.com/products/casper-suite/documentation/ This week we are running our first ever Casper training course in Perth due to the number of schools that have purchased the product in WA. There are also many on the Maced list who use Casper. Let me know if require any further information, a trial of the software or perhaps some references in WA.

Home use situations are different where you can legally sync a single purchased App with any iOS device you own or control. However, this does not mean that you MUST use a separate Apple ID account to sync each iPad. Let me explain. You will need 20 iTunes Accounts no matter what, with 20 purchases of the App. I have created an applescript that can aid you in creating bulk Apple IDs: http://mkc.nsw.edu.au/groups/ipadapps/wiki/474f3/Script_to_create_Apple_IDs.html In a shared environment Log into all the iPads using one of the Apple IDs and enable iCloud App syncing to the other 19 devices. Purchase the App on the one device - this will then be pushed to the other 19 automatically. Gift or purchase the App on each of the other 19 accounts so you can prove you have the 20 licenses if you were audited. If you are in a 1:1 situation (like us) I would set up each Apple ID to each iPad and let the students manage them. We now have 256 iPads in our school in a 1:1 environment. I've created 208 Apple ID's (staff manage their own with their own accounts) and applied $30 iTunes Store credit to each account. We bought the iTunes Store cards from the Good Guys when they have their "buy 2 get 1 free" sales, thats a 30% discount! Better than any online "deal" I could find. The students then manage the purchases themselves (they know the passwords to the accounts). I have the emails from the accounts forwarded to my email so I keep track of what has been purchased using the credit and discuss with the student if needed. If they buy something not education related I request a refund. Hope this helps, Sam. _________________________ Sam Osborne IT Technician MacKillop College t : 02 6338 2200 www.mkc.nsw.edu.au On 23/02/2012, at 12:31 AM, kel at edugator.net.au wrote: > > A school that has purchased 20 ipads is being told that to be legal each iPad must have a seperate iTunes account and purchase its own apps.

When we had our upgraded network installed (new network cabinets, switches and WAPs) that was outsourced but the maintenance etc is me. The only other thing outsourced is warranty repairs, otherwise I handle the rest. It definitely is a "work smarter, not harder" environment. For example, we use Google Apps for emails which is synced with AD. So email now requires little to no attention. All teachers have access to reset student passwords if required, when a students password is reset it is synced with Google within 5 mins. Toners are automatically ordered at 20% through a small utility on a server that probes them, and the office staff give them to the Subject Coordinators to replace them, then I just collect and recycle the used. (Yes the teachers replace the toners!) I have to admit that being an all girls school makes it easier. They seem to respect the devices/infrastructure more than boys. For example, we have external hard drives attached to the iMacs in our computer rooms for the seniors to save a backup of their multimedia works. These drives have full read/write to everyone and stay sitting on the desk plugged into the iMac. None have ever been stolen and no work has ever been deleted! Touchwood! I have to also admit that Mac's make it easier, as does site licenses and a help desk system (WebHelpDesk). Most SOE builds work right across campus, especially with DeployStudio or Casper. Most of my most recent tickets relate to "help can't print" which is mostly fixed by a logout/in, upgrading iPads from 4.3.3 to 5.0.1, or projectors...

I want her name to appear underneath that KLA to say she has made the report, not me as the class teacher. In the Assisting Access it says that the "name only appears on the report if 'Assisting Teacher' name is added to the subject layout". I have created the subject layout but I can not find the "Assisting Teacher" component. Can anyone help me??

The easiest way to do this is to get the team at Sentral to do it. We have had the same need and they made a custom template for us. They are very quick to act and extremely helpful. Best to send an email to the help desk or ring them.
