Whether you run IT for a small school or big district, having a solid IT infrastructure supports sound instructional practice and encourages innovation. However, IT infrastructure is mostly "behind the wall," just like plumbing, and people worry about plumbing only when it breaks. Trouble-free plumbing requires proper installation and maintenance so the end user — in your case, students, teachers and educators — can forget the nuts and bolts and focus on the benefits. This workshop recognizes this truth and will provide guidelines for planning, purchasing and installing the "routers, hubs, and switches" that make ed tech flow, as well as tips and tricks for finding and fixing the leaks. With examination of Wi-Fi, the Cloud, security, data, bandwidth and more, you'll walk away with a solid understanding of how to make your school's IT infrastructure work for you.
