Interesting uses for iPads at work?

My Favorite use: Print to Kindle. When I'm on my laptop, and there is an article or pdf I need to peruse, I send it to my Kindle with the Send to Kindle program. It sets itself up as a printer, and you can right click on documents to send them to the Kindle app on your ipad.

I buy 70 Lenovo machines per year. Laptops, and Desktops. Currently buying the X130e, 91z, and M91p. I regret nothing, service has been great, products perform, and they have excellent longevity. Their stability is directly related to my job satisfaction.

Edit Also T410 for my admins.

Exactly what I do. Exactly. It saves face for everyone.

I say email me. If you do not, I will forget.

This is what I was thinking. I would like to get a third server, but I think I may find 2 (e5-2640, 64Gb Ram [max 256]) to be adequate for our needs. My physical server processors are never taking that big of a hit, so the third may be too redundant.

Your job posting is bad, and you should feel bad!

I think that's the kicker there. Low pay but benefits? Ok, we can talk. Low pay and no benefits? You couldn't even afford the gas to get to work.

You are more right than you know.

It's awful to say the least, but someone will probably take it for the experience.

CDW, my account rep knows more about my site than I do as he has been with all three previous iterations of me.

Private Ed, Prek-8th. 500 Students, 70ish staff. Left private sector as it sucks hardcore. Education gets hairy at time, but overall my stress level is greatly reduced, I'm better paid, and I've established myself in a niche market.

And yes, politics are weird. I've been here a year and I'm still not sure I even have a boss.

The breadth of learning is certainly impacted, but not the actual depth. Forgive me if I misunderstood your original statement.

Parents, It all boils down to parental involvement.

I have worked in both affluent schools and schools where lock-downs were a common occurrence. There is only one factor: Stable Parental Involvement. This changes everything in education.

Let's go for irony here, but technology does not make people learn. It's a tool, just like a book, or a slate and chalk, and before that the Socratic conversation. Learning exists independently of the tools we use to achieve it. I say this as the schools IT Director.

My 3rd Graders are programming Lego Robotics. My 4th Graders can use the words "Economic Necessity" in a conversation. My 5th Graders are making a zoo in the shape of South America in Minecraft.

Don't worry, we'll be OK.
