input or retrieval of the data would be required, as the student can then access the data and retrieve it from a school computer for use. The compatibility of a wide range of devices connected to the network needs to be taken into consideration due to the broad range of operating systems, application software and file management systems available. For instance, a word processed document generated on a MacBook laptop running a variant of Mac OS X would need to be compatible with word processing applications used on the school network system that runs on Microsoft Windows. In the event which it is not, the file would need to be converted into a compatible file type in order to be accessed on school devices. Access to a file management system that is linked to the student’s school login would also be crucial, as the documents can then be manipulated, whether they are uploaded, retrieved or stored. This offers the student a wide range of options in which they can access their own files, as well as many forms of shared information placed on the system that include school research resources. The usage of cloud services such as Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive would need to be universal for all platforms connected to the server for file management.
There are also many risks to be had with implementing the BYOD system in our school. One of which is with the volume of students at the school at present, there is a risk to be had in which the school server system could not physically
The School Interoperability Framework (SIF) is an industry-wide initiative to build a scalable solution for data exchange in K-12 software, which enables the usage of different data applications. The applications are synchronized and entered into one system with the data in other systems within the SIF framework. The SIF has a distribution networking system that enables secure communication via the Zone Integration Server (ZIS). The ZIS is one or more SIF integration agents that communicate with the ZIS and ensures all SIF connections to be organized into a zone (Access 4 Learning Community, n.d.). The adaptable zone size accessible with the framework empowers single structures, a school, a little gathering of schools, or a region to turn into the primary archive of
In the school each classroom has a smart board with speakers that is positioned in front center of the room. The teachers are outfitted with a MacBook laptop that they can travel with and hook up to the smart board. These computers are equipped with smart notebook, which allows them to write on slides, insert videos, graphs and even games. Teachers use Google Drive to upload lesson plans, documents and materials into a shared folder. Each classroom has a bookshelf full of text books pertaining to the main teachers subject. Some books are Advanced Placement and some for Regents material. There are teacher editions and even DVDs for resources in the
The BYOD policy in schools, involves students bringing their personal devices such as laptops, tablets, smartphones, or other mobile devices into the learning environment. NMC (2014) states that BYOD has positive impacts towards contemporary learning styles of 21st century learners.
Task 7.0 Identify the most appropriate method to add and organize large multimedia files to a teacher website using Schoolwires software
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools is currently implementing the Digital Transformation process. After researching and reading their current process, an element that seems to be beneficial and is working that is allowing students to BYOD (“Bring Your Own Technology”). This initiative allows students and teachers to use their own personal devices during the instructional day by connecting to the schools wireless connectivity.
There also arises an issue of students bringing their own storage media which as well as external storage devices includes the student’s device itself. It is possible that the student’s devices have become corrupted with various issues such as, worms, virus, adware and spyware. Depending on the conditions, the network connection may create an environment for the malware to spread to other devices and cause multiple infections. However an advantage of this would be the school would not need to spend money on backup hardware.
The user of the computer suite will be students completing their advanced apprenticeships (AA) and wish to make an E Portfolio with all of their work on it. To achieve this I have chosen to use an online office package available from OneDrive. This will make the students information more secure as thy can save to an online storage space that is included in the package. The whole package is free and the students can work on their AA from whatever location they want to when they log into their one drive. OneDrive provides a word processing document with all of the properties needed for the students, a spreadsheet document and PowerPoint document. Therefore the students will have all of the applications that they need wherever they are all free of charge.
This system for ensuring the security of the physical technology assets of this school is greatly effective. This school relies heavily on the IT support staff to keep the technology secure and up to date so that it can be used effectively by the students. There have not been any problems with the system for securing the technology in this case study school thus far. The IT staff member works well with each teacher to offer help, solve problems and provide what is needed for the students to successfully use the available technology in the school. The protocol is clear to teachers and staff and the technology is available to be used.
In this report, I will be discussing operating systems, management of information, security and application software within a school environment and personal use. The context of this report will be inclusive of my internal assessments of which I have completed at school, and at home.
As devices are added and more are used in the classroom, the network infrastructure of the classrooms must improve. First of all, it needs to exist, and subsequently there needs to be certainty regarding its ability to handle all of the traffic efficiently. To set up this network, the IT professionals, who already have made and maintain the office network, will expand that network to the classrooms. This will take additional money from the budget. However, it will not require much as wireless Wi-Fi Internet access is a cheap, effective technology to accomplish this requirement. The IT professionals will have to begin creating and testing the network now so that by next school year it will be ready for BYOD.
Google Doc is a word processing tool with large advantage for file sharing within an organization, with these tools, users in the organization can easily share documents within the organization and it provides security within the organization system.

The first process we will conduct a variance analysis on would be the process to conduct an intranet Wiki search. The steps of the WIKI search that could be replaced would be step number three- “3. Person taps CTL F to open a find box.” Since, with the database “cleaned” and replaced with new step three- “3. Person selects the filter drop down to filter through the results by product line” will only show the search results of the correct product line. Through this process there will be a link to the data management system (DMS) that would correctly filter data that will be included in the new step number 3. Steps 4 & 5 would not be needed in since the search results would be considerably more relevant with the DMS analysis working, thus eliminating the variance where the search results in hundreds of results from all product groups. Also, making the selection process quicker.
A.) Database user names are global across a database. Database users interact with database objects. Every database object has its owner-the user that created it. Every user and role has its creator.

Abstract: It is time consuming task for parents to check the regular presence of the children in the school. But this project of sending information to the parents whose children were absent from the school through GSM in the form of SMS will give an easy, low cost and automatic solution. This project presents a system to monitor pickup of school children to enhance the safety of children during the daily transportation to school. The system consists of two main units, a bus unit and a school unit. The bus unit system is used to detect when a child boards the bus. This information is communicated to the school unit that identifies which of the children did not board the bus and issues an alert message accordingly. The system has a developed PC-based database-driven application that facilities its management and provides useful information about the children to authorized personal. A complete prototype of the proposed system was implemented and tested to validate the system functionality. The results show that the system is promising for daily transportation safety. The technology implemented here is aimed to detect the presence of a particular student who enters into the school bus and by sensing the presence of student, this information is passed to the school from where the absent students information is sent to the student parent’s mobile through GSM. This entire information is stored in the computer simultaneously.
