- 24. What would we do differently?Mac vs. PC: learned the hard way
- 26. Possibly backup and imagingFuture EnhancementsFile transfer from device to PC (Google docs app, same network)
- 29. Offer multiple, repeated trainings
- 30. Ipad integrationWhat else they do for our schools…Special EducationSuccess CenterImplementing as phones using sip client– with Cisco app on it’s wayReplaces need for current phonesOffer personal device setup (only itouch and iphone)- financial savings to district

Editor's Notes
- #3: What is an ipod touch?Mobile computerGives access to Internet, stores music, podcasts, apps, photos; syncs with email, calendar
- #4: Overview: What we HaveVision for why we are here (Amy)Two pilots: PCMS and HC ElementaryPCMS: Implemented in one house: 150 students; managed by 7th grade Math and Social Studies teacherHillcrest Elementary:Implemented grades 3-5: 150 students; managed by Library Media Specialist; used by multiple teachersEquipment at each
- #10: Wireless network district wide: in conjunction with phone systemNetwork Config Utility- 3 network config files: 1 for network settings, 1 for exchange (which was put on webpage for use), 1 for student useSet network configurationBlocks explicit content from AppleDisabled You Tube for studentsFiltering– made a pda network for only mobile devices, made a policy for all of those devices. The ipod does not authenticate (doesn’t log the person; logs the device). No way of tracking by user. If we authenticated, the issues were cumbersome as the time out and have to log in with each use (elementary students didn’t have usernames yet and weren’t fluent).
- #13: Rules: any app b4 class allowed; any app b4 school is allowedAny app during study hall if C- or above
- #15: Label- Pulaski School District and a number (some schools do SN)
- #17: Isip clientAdministrator all in one deviceCisco clientAllow us to use ipod touch as phones in district Can use your itouch and iphone at home off district network: via VPN directory of staff on phone or touchWould replace current Cisco phones with ipads, itouches and iphones– supplement to your phoneIf iphone, app will switch you to provider network seamlesslyPush to talk Meeting placeWithout Cisco phone system, can use a different sip client
