Tracks: Future of EdTech Information Technology

Whether a small school or large, sound instructional practice increasingly requires solid IT infrastructure. Like plumbing, people most often worry about IT only when it breaks. In this workshop, IT professionals will discover how to properly plan and procure “the plumbing” to keep yourself out of hot water and focused on delivering results. Learn guidelines for planning and purchasing the routers, hubs, and switches that make edtech flow. Develop ways of examining your entire system critically so you can walk away with a solid plan for drip-free IT infrastructure. (This session is designed as “Part 1” for the planning and procurement of networking. “Part 2” focuses on proper installation and maintenance.)
