ICT Tip #44 - Adding Work Email to a Smartphone

by sonofsanta on Today at 03:05 PM
ICT Tip 044 - Work Email on Smartphones.doc

Y'all will have to do a bit of the work yourselves this week - I've stripped out all the settings specific to my domain and replaced with them [placeholders in squarebrackets]. Go through and fill out the details as appropriate to your network. We use Exchange here, so it may not be appropriate for your network, though I'd have thought most email services were capable of supporting smartphone email.

ICT Tip #18 - Avoiding Scam Emails

by sonofsanta on 14th May 2013 at 02:12 PM
Back in time for an older tip, not that it matters to anyone but me. There's a chunk of school-specific tips from 42-44 so in an attempt to maintain my buffer, I've gone back and pulled out an ever-relevant tip I wrote when we changed email provider and started to suffer an onslaught of spam.

Installing a PHP/MySQL Development Server for students on Windows Server 2012 - Part2

by sonofsanta on 29th April 2013 at 11:31 AM
So, continuing on from Part 1, where we set up a PHP server on Server 2012, lets get into MySQL.

You don't need to do this bit if you don't need the database functionality. There's still plenty you can teach with PHP alone, and that's what we're planning to do with Key Stage 4 anyway. Our Key Stage 5 do want to make use of databases though, so here we go...

Installing a PHP/MySQL Development Server for students on Windows Server 2012 - Part1

by sonofsanta on 26th April 2013 at 03:28 PM
This is going to get lengthy. In the interests of keeping it under control, I'm going to assume you know what you're doing to a certain extent.
