School Technology Philosophy Statements

How prepared is your district?  How organized?  Are you ready for the future?
I have been reading a lot of information being sent out from ISTE and realized how important the school tech statement is for a district.  Do you have one?  How often do you review and update it?  If you don't - how do you know where you are going, and if you will ever get there, and what you need to do today and tomorrow to get there?
I know lots of people think planning like this is a waste - just do the work.  But it is hard to make sure you are doing the correct work, if you don't have a plan.
So do you feel overwhelmed now?  Start with something and somewhere.  Take baby steps.  Do something - right or wrong.  It is easier to keep moving, once you have momentum behind you.
If you and your district need help, give me a call.  I don't have all of the answers, but can help ask questions that might help get a basic plan  in place.

We're Secure (yeah right)

Is your school or organization's network secure?  Can anything ever be truly secure?  How do you even know, or where can you go to find help?

OXEN is offering security assessments to help give you an overview of what is going on.  Where you might want to focus your energy.

Be aware that thinking you can ever be 100% secure is a goal that can't be reached in today's world, but at least knowing where you might have an issue is a valuable thing to know.
