    I see a lot more students using cell phones at my building than there were just a year ago. This observation and the implications was a bit sobering. What challenges does the ubiquitous use of cell phones and other smart devices create for our network safeguards? Is cyberbullying going on in your building(s)? What options do targeted students and parents have for reporting or enacting a grievance against cyberbullying? Are reported correlations of student absenteeism and cyberbulliying accurate? I'd like to post this on our blogs and ask our staffs to weigh in on the topic.

    I think the survey would be a great way to begin a conversation with students about online responsibility. I try to get my teachers to bring their classes to the lab for an intro. covering AUPs, procedures, handling of hardware, etc.. It's a hard sell but I continue to do it anyway.

    Android App to access Lotus iNotes. I had a teacher ask if she could access her district email from her new Droid Incredible smartphone. I did a little Googling - lotus webnotes droid incredible app - and came up with this little gem. 10-50k downloads is a fair amount and it has an average of 4 stars. For iPhone users it's a little easier. From the iPhone type in notes.buffaloschools.org in your browser of choice. You should see the same page that you would see if logging in from your desktop. Login, and voila!...cool little interface complete with calendar and contacts.

A Taste for Telepresence -- THE Journal - 0 views

  • He envisioned that telepresence would allow the district to participate in cultural exchanges among local students and those in other countries. It could be used to deliver staff development courses and enable people to get together for district business meetings without the time, expense, or carbon emissions associated with physical travel.
  • VoIP was a revelation to the district. Teachers have become more immediately accessible to parents, who no longer have to leave messages in the main offices and hope to be available when teachers call back. And now, when a teacher or staff member moves to another location in the district, the phone and a person's number can follow along; all it requires is a simple update through software. "We know who's got that device, where they have it, where they have it plugged in," Devkota explains. In short, VoIP gave the district community a taste for location-free communications, which naturally led to the next best thing to being there: telepresence.

    I think this an interesting article. The only aspect that gave me pause, other than cost, was the idea of location-free_communications. I'm envisioning PA systems on steroids. I opened a topic "Telepresence" to see if anyone wanted to weigh in on the topic.
