I haven't found a way to do Edmodo single sign-on yet but what I was thinking is if there was some sort of single programme that the students could enter their username and password, save it and then whenever they where going on edmodo they would run the programme it would load edmodo up and send the login information for them automatically. So it wouldn't be single sign-on but would seem like it. Does anyone know of this or any advice on how I could write such a programme? Thanks

We are looking at possibly starting an after school club for Minecraft, by putting it on a seperate server and running it over the LAN so that the students can only play within school and cannot access any servers externally. Is anyone else doing this? I am looking at running the portable version of Minecraft, but whenever I try to run it in school and I keep getting an error: Downloading: https://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/launcher/launcher.pack.lzma Exception: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect Downloading: https://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/launcher/launcher.pack.lzma (try 2/10) Exception: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect Downloading: https://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/launcher/launcher.pack.lzma (try 3/10) Exception: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect Downloading: https://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/launcher/launcher.pack.lzma (try 4/10) Exception: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect Downloading: https://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/launcher/launcher.pack.lzma (try 5/10) Exception: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect Downloading: https://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/launcher/launcher.pack.lzma (try 6/10) Exception: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect Downloading: https://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/launcher/launcher.pack.lzma (try 7/10) Exception: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect Downloading: https://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/launcher/launcher.pack.lzma (try 8/10) Exception: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect Downloading: https://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/launcher/launcher.pack.lzma (try 9/10) Exception: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect Downloading: https://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/launcher/launcher.pack.lzma (try 10/10) Exception: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect Unable to download remote file.

Hi Nick, Sorry to be a pain, is there any news on the issue that i am having? If it is down to me being daft or doing something wrong I am happy to be told? Cheers Sean

Hi Nick, The URL that I login to is: https://localhost/hap/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fhap%2f As soon as I login it takes me to unauthorised.aspx. Thanks again for your help Sean

We use ABTutor in school so I blocked all applications with chrome and Firefox in the name. ABTutor is amazing for the money can't praise it enough.

Hiya, Has anybody looked at using the Kinect for Windows as an alternative to Interactive Whiteboards? We have a lot of RM Classboards, which are getting on a bit and we are starting to experience problems, but as a school with a small ICT budget, I thought this could be a cheaper way of doing it? Cheers Sean

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I have gone through the override permissions and everything looks fine, or am i missing something. Cheers

I am running Dansguardian on Ubuntu I have got it working I am just having problems extracting the data from AD to Dansguardian using the Usermap2 script. I can do it manually it would just be very time consuming?

Hello, I have HAP setup on a 2008R2, but when i log in as admin, staff or student account I get the following screen. If i click the down arrow and navigate that way I can get to myfiles etc, but I would rather not have that screen as I would like to push this out to staff for remote access. Any ideas would be appreciated. Cheers

Got this working I had to setup for the Windows 7 machines 'Network security: LAN Manager authentication level Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated' in GPO. I am having another problem though - I am trying to extract the groups from AD into the Dansguardian filtergrouplist, so that I can filter by group rather than user. I have found a script USERMAP2, that is supposed to do it for me but I can't for the life of me get it to work. Any ideas?

Hello all, I have setup Squid on Windows 7 and Dandsguardian on Ubuntu. I have got them both setup, but I was wondering if it is possible to get Dansguardian to use Squid authentication? The only way I could get Squid to authenticate with AD was to use the Negotiate plugin, now that is working perfectly. I have entered the squid details into Dansguardian config, but I keep getting errors or if I enable any of the Danguardian plugins, a login box that no matter how many times I enter my details, wont accept them. The reason I installed Squid on Windows, Was i could not get Squid to authenticate with AD on Linux. If anybody else has done it this way or if anybody had any advice or ideas it would be greatly appreciated. Sean

Hi, We have banned the use of Chrome and Firefox in our school due to its ability to allow students to see the C drive and other parts of the network that IE doesnt allow. Friday we had an incident where students have found out that they can run Chrome and Firefox on their system without downloading. I tried it out this morning and it does work, if I click run instead of save Chrome ran and was accessible. Once I had logged off and logged back on it was no longer there. Does anyone know how i can prevent this from happening? Sean

I could not get Squid authentication on Ubuntu working, it seems very flakey. So I have reinstalled squid on Windows 7 with sarg and it is working brilliantly, already caught a student on something he shouldn't. I want to setup a Dansguardian box on Ubuntu now, how would I go about linking the 2 together and can I get Dansguardian to use squid authentication so that I can apply different filters to different group? Any advice would be appreciated.

I have installed Squid on windows 7 with Sarg and it is working perfectly. But I was wondering if it is advisable to install a second NIC into the PC? Would this speed up internet browsing through the proxy? Cheers

Hi all, I have just installed Squid on Windows 7 and I have just installed Cyberoam Iview, but I cant get it to obtain the logs from Squid. It is saying about syslog-ng but I haven't got it with my Iview install. I have even tried adding the squid proxy as a device within Iview but it is still not working. I am using version 0.1.2.6. Has anybody else installed this?

Thanks guys. I have started again as I was getting into a right mess. I have found this guide that I am currently working through DansGuardian and NTLM from Active Directory | Pete's PC blog if this doesn't work ill probably go the way MordyT suggested. What is PFSense like I have never used it?

Hi, For the last few days I have been trying to setup Squid authentication on Ubuntu but i cant get my around all the Kerberos/Samba setup. I had Squid on Windows working fine, but wanted to use Dansguardian as well, so thats when i moved to Ubuntu. What I am now wondering is can i have Squid installed on Windows and Dansguardian installed on Linux and them working together ok, as I am about to throw my toys out of the pram with this? Edit -- I have realised that this isn't going to work as I will have to have Samba/Kerberos setup for Dansguardian. So does anyone have or know of a good step by step guide to get this to work? Cheers

Is there anyway of finding out who has changed something in a student record, through a SIMS event log?

We are just about to trial Edmodo with some staff and students before we roll it out to the whole school. I was looking at using Edmodo as the school Intranet as well, so I was wondering if anybody had managed to get Edmodo to work with Single Sign-on with AD internally? Cheers

I have solved this I didnt add the SWGFL parent proxy. Followed this thread http://www.edugeek.net/forums/wireless-networks/4757-squid-rm-proxies.html and this squid : cache_peer configuration directive, all working. Just got to authenticate with AD.

Hello all, I am probably doing something really daft and simple, but I have followed the instructions to installing Squid onto a Windows 7 machine, but i keep getting the following error: I just can't get my head around the issue, I have used the proper windows zip and installer files. I have followed documents as well as Youtube videos but for some reason I just can't get it to work. Any help would be appreciated. Sean

Hello all, I am setting up a new machine to act as a web cache, I have installed Squid and everything seems fine. But i now need a URL and content filter to work alongside Squid. I know about Dansguardian and Squidguard but my Linux knowledge is below novice and I know squidguard only does URL filtering. I have seen one called Handyfilter (Free Web Content Filtering Software - Handy Filter), has anybody used this? Are there any others that anyone can recommend, I know I am probably asking alot? Many thanks Sean

Hi all, Some student have let me know that in Adobe CS6 Audition they can view all the drives including hidden drives in 'Media Browser'. It allows them to access drives that they should be restricted from and are normally. They can only navigate the drives and cannot do anything in them, but I would prefer that they didn't even see them. Has anybody else had this and how did you solve it? Short of removing Audition I don't think there is much I can do? Thanks

Hi all, The school has just signed up to MethodMaths for teaching and exam revision. The problem I am seeing is that students can download the papers, but they cannot upload them. They select their paper and click 'Send the file', but the loading icon just stays on. We are with SWGFL I have unfiltered the website as well as the DNS and IP addresses that it suggests on the technicians page of the site, but it is not uploading the excel file. It does work ok when I use the staffproxy, but if I go through normally I get issues. Am I missing something? If there is anyone out there that has got this working any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
