A New Year
It is a new year, and the technology department is as busy as ever. We are working on a number of exciting things:
1. Video Conferencing - Amy is busy setting up and conducting events. See her blog for more information.
2. The IN Group is helping us pilot Moodle (an online training tool). We have also been training administrators in the hope that they will find use for Moodle for their site or department.
3. Construction - Construction - Construction - we are now busy with five projects. It is our role to manage all the special systems (intercom, phones, bells, clocks, WAN, LAN, computers, printers, etc.) within the sites - so we are busy with construction meetings and planning.
4. District WAN - we have an RFP posted to upgrade our district wide area network to higher bandwidth.
5. ERate - the tech department manages the ERate process. ERate is a federal grant, which provides funding for telecommunications and Internet.
6. We just recently added three new servers, and are still completing configuration issues.
7. New Staff /Students- we have new staff or students almost everyday, which require ongoing setup.
The Department will provide an update to the board at the January 23rd meeting. A copy of the presentation will be posted on the Tech Website for anyone interested.
