EduGeek Conference May 2011

And the hotel is right next to the M55/M6 junction, so you can shoot straight off down the motorway on Friday

I'm going to bump this thread as he really does need an idea of what information he needs to impart to you. His talk will be on 'Myths and Musts' about the Data Protection Act, so if you have any pressing issues about things you are doing, or think you should be doing, or being told to do but does not seem right then this is the place to let him know so he can fit it in. I suspect the Q&A at the end of his session will be quite a good one.

Do teacher laptops/pen drives need to be encrypted is thery just contain lesson plans/resources?
At what amount of personal data should encryption be considered?
Has a educationalist up to and including head teacher level ever got more than a smacked wrist for contravening the act?

ICO makes school stand in corner over data theft ? The Register thats the best so far that I've come across which our schools have all been told about in the latest encrpytion / security letter to schools.

Keep the questions coming, I am preparing now!!!

As the topics cross, I'll even throw in a bit around ISO27001 if it's needed.

Just wondering if there is anyone near me who is going to the Conf who could give me a lift there and back
Ideally, I'll be wanting to come the same day..

Not sure I'll be fit enough to drive by the 2nd

[chilbs]

I'm driving from Crewe on the afternoon of the 1st and going back to Macclesfield the morning of the 3rd. If anyone wants a lift from that general area.

I wont be able to come i am afraid i have allot on at work especially in the holidays

Hope you all have a good time

[Gatt]

Hmmm.. not sure I'll be able to make it either unless I can get a lift there...

[Gatt]

Gah! why 2 threads for the same thing

anyway - Been out round the block in the car today and successfully did a couple of emergency stops with no trouble or pain at all - so looks like I'll be attending the Conference under my own steam

[CAM]

Off I go to Preston for a lovely 4 hour train journey and getting lost when I get there! >.<

See you all soon.

[TheScarfedOne]

Right, me and edutech are now at preston - and having coffee by entrance ramp. If anyone wants to lift with us to the hotel, pm one of us

Any ideas on where the meal is tonight yet? I rang and was told it may be Chiccos on Garstang road?

[Dos_Box]

The meal will be at 8:30pm at Checcos restraunt on Garstang Road in Preston: Checco's Preston
We shall be meeting in the hotel Ibis Lobby from about 18:00 onwards (don't worry if we're not there initially) and getting a taxi(s) down from there.

[ComputingData]

Thx for that.

What time does the conference start in the morning, couldn't find any info on the forums...
