Reminder that we'll be having class tomorrow starting at 6:30. We have three things to review. First, Arlene Borthwick, your advisor, would like to talk with the group at 6:30 regarding your portfolios. She would like to set up times in December to begin reviewing the portfolio process and what you'll need to do to complete it.
Second, your quick 5 minute overview presentations of your networking project. The presentations should discuss your teaching situation (or the situation you are defining a solution for), what you're proposing, how much it will cost, and impact on the teaching environment (inclusive of suggested professional development).
Finally, we'll look at LiveText and how to upload your final projects for your final grade. You'll need a LiveText account, so if you don't have one we'll register you for it tomorrow.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Randy

11-11 Class a working session
Hi Everyone,
Just a reminder that tonight's class is our final working session for your benchmark assignments. I'll be there if you have any questions. If you want to continue working from home, that's fine too. Next week is our last class and we'll have our presentations of your network proposal. Presentations should be short, maybe 5 min. that provide on an overview of your project.
I've attached a 'RFP' as a sample for those who have not seen one before. The RFP should also be fairly short and too the point. Don't be worried about the length of the sample, you need to look at page 4, the Systems Overview. The bulleted outline is more like what your RFP would look like, a list of required materials and services to implement your network service.
Let me know if you have any questions,
Sincerely,
Randy

11-4 Class Attendance Optional
Hi Everyone,
As we discussed last class, tonight is a working session for your final projects. Today's election will cause a lot of delays, happiness and sadness depending on your candidate of choice. I've had a few inquiries that some would like to attend election related events.
Attendance is option, if you'd like help with your projects, I'll be available to answer questions. If you're working fine and feel you can continue on your own then you don't have to come in tonight.
If you are planning on stopping by, can you let me know to expect you.
Thanks,
Randy

TIE532 Network Profile for your School
We started to review basic networks and connection topographies. Over the next week conduct a Network profile for your school or organization. If you are in a school, create a network profile of your district that includes a detailed breakdown of your school, not just your individual school. You might need to set up an appointment with your network administrator if the information is not available on the web.
For your Network profile write up, answer the following questions:
• What type of network has your IT department set up? WAN? LAN?
• Your network topography and your school topography. Are the different?
• Connection bandwidths for your district and for your school.
• Type of hubs used? Are they all the same or different types for the WAN or LAN?
• Types of servers your district has: web server, file server, streaming video server
• Other information relevant to your networks infrastructure.
Create a diagram of your network profile similar to the ones we reviewed in class.

10-6 Online Assignments
Hi,
For this week, we'll be reviewing Copyright issues and Fair Use for Educators. I know this is a review for most of you, but since we are discussing computers and technology in the classroom it's an important topic to discuss.
Please read the following three articles this week and post to your blog (question below) by Friday so I can respond to you over the weekend:
A very quick overview of copyright myths:
http://www.templetons.com/brad/copymyths.html
A longer read on the true cost to teachers and educators who misunderstand copyright and media literacy issues:
http://myclass.nl.edu/tie/Final_CSM_copyright_report.pdf
Finally, a very interesting read about the insanity of copyright law on a digital revolution (law vs. reality):
http://www.legalaffairs.org/issues/July-August-2003/feature_zittrain_julaug03.msp
After the review of copyright, in your blog reflect and answer the following question: The Internet, Web 2.0 applications that allow user created materials to be posted, social media sites such as Facebook, that allow for easy, yet illegal, distribution of copyright protected materials, allow others to “re-purpose” this content. These newly created materials, such as (mashups), combine multiple forms of content into one stream or a ‘new’ work. A basic example would be if someone takes 3 copyright protected images and mashes them together to create a new image, but the previous pieces are easily recognized for their original work. The question is: is this legal based on fair use?
Does the new creator have copyright protection? Who then really owns the ‘new’ version of the content since it was based on previous works? Does the creator of the old content own it? Can someone even illegally obtain and re-use the content for their own purposes and then claim copyright protection?
What do you think and why?
Cite information from Copyright law or Fair Use or the readings to support your position.

Tuesday, Oct. 7th Class Online - Not meeting
Hi Everyone,
I'm just realizing I have a scheduling conflict for tonight and won't make it back in time to start our class at 7:30. I don't want to make everyone wait...or worse go longer then the allotted class time till 10:20...I'm putting tonight’s activities online in this blog.
The content for tonight was Copyright, Fair Use and Intellectual Property and I'll do the write up of the readings and assignments now and post it by 3PM today, but wanted to let you all know as soon as possible.
The online class will consist of readings and 2 discussion question postings to be answered in your blogs.
Please let me know if you have any questions about tonight’s class or about the Computer Purchase Project due next week.
Thanks,
Randy
