The educator of today is a connected learner. What does that look like and how do all educators move to a relevant, connected, collaborative mindset? Participants will examine what qualities a "Connected Educator" exhibits and how every educator, in their own way, can use those qualities to extend learning for themselves and their students.
96% of faculty agree that technology plays a significant role in the classroom and 83% of faculty use technology in the classroom to deliver instruction. Whether your school provides devices to every classroom or you have a BYOD policy in place, managing all the devices on your network is a common challenge for IT departments. With these staggering statistics, effective strategies to better manage devices is critical to ensure your team is successful.
Join our session to learn success strategies, including:
3 Learning Objectives
The Education landscape is quickly evolving. Highly reliable wired and wireless networks, that can seamlessly scale from the Cloud to a Controller architecture are critical. They need to ensure the highest level of security, while dynamically delivering applications based on the “who, what, where, and why’s” of your network. And they need to be easy to manage with the greatest level of visibility in to who and what is actually on the network. Join Aruba Networks to see how the 21st Century Connected Classroom can become a reality.
On almost a daily basis we hear about internal and external network security breaches with lasting effects. These include losses of sensitive personal information as well as individuals and organizations falling victim to ransomware scams in which hackers hold a network or data hostage until they are paid off. As hackers become more and more sophisticated, the network has to keep pace. Join us to learn how Avaya’s Stealth Networking Technology can secure your district's communications and minimize the exposure to Cyber Attacks.
Please join VMware in an open discussion regarding approaches to help districts simplify and accelerate the delivery of Project Lead the Way and other instructional content to students via VMware’s end user computing solutions. The goal is to improve the accessibility of instructional content to students that would in turn positively impact academic outcomes. This requires the development of a delivery platform that includes single secure sign on, mobile device management, application and desktop virtualization. Mike and Tom have experience working directly with districts that leverage this platform to deliver these benefits including:
- Reducing the overall complexity associated with delivering applications and desktops to students thus decreasing the time to provision new applications to students which increases
- Delivering a mobile and customized desktops and applications to deliver PLTW content to mobile devices in response to BYOD or districts investment (i.e. Chromebooks, iPads, other tablets and devices)
- Deliver PLTW content and engage students that are not on campus due to illness, disciplinary reasons, etc.
- Simplify access to resources for early childhood centers allowing you to deliver a true point, click and go solution to your youngest students
- Achieve digital equality by enhancing the experience of the district's disadvantaged students by giving them equal access to resources regardless of device type
- Consolidate on a platform for content deliver and mobile device management that will increase overall operational efficiency
- Provide district the ability to extend the educational experience outside of the traditional class day and beyond the brick and mortar facilities without increasing associated operating expenses.
HPE Aruba- For students, access to digital learning tools must be fast and easy. For network administrators, network reliability is critical. While students are taking an exam or trying to submit their essay, the technology can’t get in the way. In this presentation we will discuss mobility best practices in K12, how the HPE Aruba platform securely connects users to the network, and discuss tools offered to ensure the end user’s network experience.
Envision a classroom with Connected Solutions where engagement and achievement meet as one. The Modern Classroom needs tools that are hardware agnostic for both teachers and students that will provide opportunities for engagement, collaboration, communication, differentiation and creation all within the same environment.
Most schools follow state mandated evacuation plans and drills, use an intercom and others have installed a panic button as their sole method of communication during crisis situations. Some follow the manual FEMA red / green card procedure.
Sielox Class - Crisis Lockdown Alert Status System, expands communication and awareness during critical situations with a scalable and flexible solution for crisis management and enables awareness for other important emergencies including medical, missing student, disturbance and more.
Sielox Class system provides real-time information for both on-site and emergency personnel in any of these crisis response situations. A notification to local dispatch will be enhanced by the ability for police to view interactive classroom maps that pinpoints the danger on their computers or in their patrol cars. An added benefit is the email notification and silent chat communication between staff, administration and responders. This is critical in a lockdown situation when sheltering children because any sound can give an intruder a target.
It’s simple and effective and provides visibility that is lacking in typical response procedures.
Sielox is partnered exclusively for New York State with LINSTAR Inc. and is available on LINSTAR’s NYS Contract PT63106
