I have heard reports that consumer-grade hubs are not up to this kind of load long-term so we will see how that goes

I'm not happy with the way we're doing Secondary syncing and I'm starting to think that adopting the Primary sync model (every device on one library) would be of more benefit

When, I want to deploy a new app, I buy it on my master Mac mini. Each library is configured to pull new purchases from the mini using iTunes Home Sharing. This works but is imperfect, as Home Sharing only pulls new purchases and not updates

At Skyline High School, at least a dozen uses are planned for the 100 iPod Touches that were awarded via the technology grant. The uses will undoubtedly lead to hundreds of future projects, said Pete Pasque, instructional technologist at the school. They are “productivity tools to help manage what students are learning,” he said. “It’s so exciting to have students as creators. That’s what we’re trying to do at Skyline.” Pasque said he hopes to see the iPod Touches used for everything from recording band practices in order to review music to accelerometers in science class. There’s even talk of putting an iPod in a football helmet, running a play and charting and graphing the impact in Microsoft Excel. “Teachers come to me and say ‘hey Pete, I want to do this’ … and I say ‘OK let me figure it out,’” Pasque said. “It’s going to make it more real world for the kids.” Uzelac said she had so many requests for iPod Touch grants from Skyline, that she asked for a combined proposal. Skyline had a dozen teachers ask for 500 as a school; Skyline was given 100 in the grant process.
