Request for comments on our latest installation
danIT replied to openhgs's topic in Network and Classroom Management
Why purchase flat screen monitors if your are going to abuse the added space they create on a desk. Flat screen monitor with its small foot print give the pupil more room for hand written exercises and text books etc, and you've planted a workstation smack bang in the space, stand the units up on the feet that probably came with the units - which you've probably thrown away. That keyboard position is terrible, completely un-usable and impractical. Forget about getting cables tidy, position the computers and monitors/Key boards in a way that makes them usable. -

Moodle - Slow when more than a few users are logged in
danIT replied to wesleyw's topic in Virtual Learning Platforms
Did you upgrade from a previous version of Moodle or is this a fresh install? Also what authentication method are you using for students? EDIT: Ive also found this, Try this php script (Attached) by copying into the root of your moodle directory where your moodle config.php is located. Run by browsing to http://my.moodle.com/moodle/mdl-db-opt.php. Move it out of that directory when you're done with it. There's no guarantee it will make any difference but it will run the mysql CHECK, OPTIMIZE and ANALYZE (REPAIR also if needed) statements on all your tables. As usual, switch moodle to maintenance mode, wait for all the users to be logged off and backup your database (mysqldump) before attempting to run the script. You may need to allocate quite some time to this operation. There seems to be some issues with indexes, multiple. mdl-db-opt.txt mdl-db-opt_100.txt -
If your talking about Moodle and meta courses, a meta course is, put simply, a course where only courses are enrolled. Therefore: Science (metacourse) Publish a number of materials here that you want all courses to access, Science year 10 science year9 science year8 and so on, You enrol all the science course in your science meta course, now all science year etc can view resources in Science meta course.

I would say try and concentrate on a single microsoft product, for instance Share Point. Get technical with Share Point and get yourself contracted out, i sometimes do a bit of weekend work for a small company who employes all ages! there is a guy working there on XML something or other who is 56.

Getting stick for locking down staff laptops
danIT replied to Oops_my_bad's topic in School ICT Policies
We lock down teacher laptops, so far as they even have to ask permission from line managers to get us (IT techs) to give them admin rights to install broadband on there laptops. 1. Teacher sacked accessing inappropriate materials 2. Teacher suspended following enquires about running a business abroad via school equipment while at home. Also some school time use to manager stocks and shares. Looks like he will resign, as a multial agreement between his union and the head 3. Teacher used to let son use laptop for MSN, IM and general surfing. Not suspended, but had to give up laptop for good. 4. Teacher accessing inappropriate material in school time, excessive internet use within school. laptop removed We are pleased with how our SLT/SMT react when matters arise so our staff tend to be responsible. Speak to your Head if you are getting stick, or the person who allocates laptops? -

Do You Like The New Edugeek Logo?
danIT replied to FN-GM's topic in General EduGeek News/Announcements
I really dont see what is wrong with the current one, a logo with a black background with multiple colours placed on it just makes it look a mess, perhaps members could post there verisons. -
Have you tried downloading the stand-alone installer and running as 'Administrator'? fixed a few bugs with staff laptops here?

Looks good, id have really liked to transfer our site to Jmoola, but due to time constraints etc.. we never did, well done looks really fresh! everything does seem a little BIG though?
