Electronic Use Violations: Scary Stories, No Longer Told in the Dark<br />

Jason Rooks, Parkway School District<br />

This presentation will look at Parkway’s electronic use policy (EUP) and the true<br />

stories of related violations and investigations. These “scary” stories regularly<br />

accompany our introduction of the EUP to new teachers during orientation. We<br />

will also discuss some of the information and reporting systems used to identify<br />

violations.<br />

An Introduction to Federated Identity and Single Sign On<br />

Christopher Giordano and Jason Cameron, <strong>MOREnet</strong><br />

Learn about identity management concepts and the technologies that support<br />

them. The focus of this presentation will be using Shibboleth Federated Identity<br />

Management to support single sign on.<br />

Leveraging a Unified Security Platform<br />

Melissa Tebbenkamp and Darren Nixon, Raytown C-2<br />

As schools begin to increase the utilization of access control and security video<br />

to increase student safety, there is a growing need for a security solution that is<br />

fully integrated, easy to use and scalable through an open architecture. In 2008,<br />

Raytown School District began the process to select and install a new security<br />

video system. This summer, Raytown’s system is being expanded to include<br />

access control to all secondary buildings. This session will explore the benefits of<br />

IP security video and how Raytown Quality Schools leverages Genetec's Unified<br />

Security Platform to build a safe culture in the district and community while<br />

minimizing costs. We will discuss the advantages of remote access for<br />

administrators and first responders through federation, web access and mobile<br />

clients. Raytown will highlight the maximization of their network infrastructure and<br />

how they utilized wireless technology to monitor locations where fiber is not an<br />

option.<br />

OpenFlow and the SDN<br />

Security Symposium<br />

Mark Medovich, Juniper Networks<br />

As software-defined networks become increasingly pervasive, it is anticipated<br />

that SDN infrastructure will be heterogeneous. Software defined networks may<br />

comprise multiple nodes, with varying interconnect, running an array of operating<br />

systems with configurations and added services. Though emerging software<br />

defined network implementations may conform to published standards, these<br />

SDN implementations and the services they support, may exhibit unexpected<br />

properties and characteristics.<br />

Juniper Networks will examine the aforesaid SDN infrastructure scenarios, and<br />

present existing and emerging technologies to addresses the challenge of<br />

delivering the software defined network.<br />

Would you know how to respond if a distributed denial of service attack was<br />

launched against your network? What if a business-critical application was<br />

compromised and sensitive data was disclosed? What if your website was<br />

disabled or defaced and users couldn’t access it? Would you know what to do?<br />

An incident response plan is a plan that outlines/documents the appropriate steps<br />

and processes to follow when an incident occurs so you can contain it, resolve<br />

issues and get back up and running in a timely manner. Unfortunately, even<br />

people who know the importance of having an incident response plan don’t create<br />

one until AFTER the fact. In this session we’ll discuss the elements of an incident<br />

response framework that will ensure a consistent and systematic approach to<br />

handling security incidents.<br />

E-rate Eligible Voice Services in the Cloud-74/75<br />

Aaron Stone, Netelligent Corporation<br />

In education, budget constraints are a constant challenge to do more with less.<br />

That means choosing solutions that help you reduce costs and at the same time,<br />

keep up with the latest technology. More than following the latest learning or<br />

teaching trends, this is about implementing solutions that have far-reaching<br />

impact. Solutions that will continue to be relevant for years to come. The right<br />

technology selections today can mean greater cost-efficiencies and better<br />

equipped and connected students and schools for tomorrow. A typical attendee<br />

will know and understand the technology options that are available at a fraction of<br />

the cost.<br />

Doing More Together to Deliver Cost Savings and the Best Solutions in<br />

Technology- 63<br />

Larry Isaak, Midwestern Higher Education Compact<br />

Higher education and K-12 are continually being forced to find ways to contain or<br />

reduce their costs at the same time they push to maintain or increase their<br />

productivity. The Midwestern Higher Education Compact (MHEC) was established<br />

in part to achieve these objectives. One of the goals of MHEC is to help<br />

institutions enhance productivity through reductions in operational costs. MHEC is<br />

able to further this goal through the creation of group aggregate programs that<br />

reduce costs and bring value-added benefits to the institutions in MHEC member<br />

states. MHEC's technology programs have been developed by advisory<br />

committee members from around the midwest to lower technology acquisition<br />

7


costs and to obtain solutions specifically tailored to education. Since MHEC is an<br />

instrumentality of state government, the organization has followed extensive<br />

competitive procurement processes and undertaken the time and expense of the<br />

RFP process. Learn more about MHEC, your ability to take advantage of these<br />

savings, how MHEC goes beyond savings to bring additional value and what<br />

makes MHEC unique from other purchasing consortia.<br />

Why Every Student Should be a Mobile App Creator-72<br />

Chris Thompson<br />

Teens today are enthralled with mobile technology yet few have any idea what is<br />

involved in creating the apps/games they love to play. Even fewer realize that the<br />

world of games is filled with science, technology, engineering, arts and math<br />

(STEAM). Come to this session and learn how and why the classroom of the future<br />

will surely be filled with mobile app/game creation. Hear a firsthand account of<br />

teaching middle and high school students to become the next great creators<br />

rather than mere consumers of mobile media. Learn why every student should<br />

learn the art and science of mobile app creation (MAC).<br />

Records Retention and Generally Accepted Recordkeeping Principles- 64<br />

Nathan Troup and Tom Nield, Missouri Secretary of State<br />

Under RSMo 109, the Office of the Missouri Secretary of State is the state of<br />

Missouri’s official recordkeeper. The office is responsible for publishing the<br />

records retention schedules approved by the State Records Commission and the<br />

Local Records Advisory Board. Professional consultation to state and local<br />

agencies is provided free. The office operates a records center storing state<br />

inactive records. The office also stores microfilm containing long term and<br />

permanent records from state agencies and permanent records from local<br />

agencies.<br />

Two Records Professionals from the Records Services Division (Office of the<br />

Missouri Secretary of State) will explain state requirements for document retention<br />

and state and local retention schedules. How records series for governmental<br />

agencies (state and local) are created and approved by the State Records<br />

Commission and the Local Records Advisory Board will be presented. Attendees<br />

will learn how to apply these schedule items to help them better manage the<br />

information they are responsible for.<br />

Generally accepted recordkeeping principles (GARP) will be described. The<br />

concepts of authenticity, integrity, reliability and confidentiality are necessary for<br />

records to meet business and legal needs. These concepts apply to any record<br />

keeping system, regardless of media type and format. Digital records are growing<br />

exponentially and applying GARP will enable state and local institutions to better<br />

manage storage space and ensure long term access to their records.<br />

Integrating Innovative Learning and Community Service Through Database<br />

Creation and Web Hosting Projects- 63<br />

June Zhou Mercer and Guangrong (Angell) He, St. Louis Community College<br />

St. Louis Community College (STLCC) and Webster Rock Hill Ministries (WRHM)<br />

began their partnership in 2006. In 2007, through the STLCC campus academic<br />

Service Learning/Civic Engagement office, students in the Oracle PL/SQL class<br />

offered by the Information Systems Department of St. Louis Community College at<br />

Meramac, designed and developed a database software application that could be<br />

used to support their charitable efforts for the community they serve. With this<br />

software, the tasks of record entry, data storage and standard reporting have<br />

become significantly less tedious for the Ministries’ personnel.<br />

To meet the growing needs of Webster Rock Hill Ministries (WRHM), students from<br />

the Programming Design and Development class wrote and received the first<br />

student philanthropy grant in 2011. The grant allowed them to purchase a new<br />

server, upgrade the computer memory for WRHM, install the new software the<br />

students developed for WRHM and integrate the Service Management, Donation<br />

Management, Staff Management and the Web into one system - WRHM<br />

Management Information Systems.<br />

The grant and the projects give students the opportunity to apply what they learn<br />

in the classroom to solve real world problems. Students who participated in the<br />

grant writing and the database and web projects bonded together as a team to<br />

design, implement and test both the database and website. In addition, students<br />

learned collaboration, teamwork, compassion and leadership skills. Their work<br />

12


has transformed the WRHM and brought the small but mighty non-profit<br />

organization to the digital age.<br />

Utilizing Trunk Ports to Optimize VMware-62<br />

How to Calm the BYOD Storm- 74/75<br />

David Endicott, NeoTech Solutions<br />

Come see how implementing a virtual desktop infrastructure can help you control<br />

the chaos that BYOD or bring your own device brings to your network. Use VDI to<br />

provide protected, secure access to network resources and the Internet while<br />

leveraging your existing security infrastructure. Ensure consistent user experience<br />

and software compatibility regardless of the type of device they use. Utilize<br />

hardware and software you already own, avoid retraining your staff and keep the<br />

BYOD chaos under control. Presentation will include a live demo of the<br />

technology, discussion of options for supporting this new technology and an<br />

overview of the various software and hardware vendors providing this type of<br />

system today.<br />

Security--Who Says it Can't be Fun?- 73<br />

Patti Dudenhoeffer, <strong>MOREnet</strong><br />

Keeping end users committed to following security best practices is tough. The<br />

methods you use to keep them up-to-date on current security threats and<br />

vulnerabilities and what they need to do to ensure they stay safe online can<br />

13


determine whether or not your organization’s network and resources are secure.<br />

Do you use the same awareness training year after year, without making any<br />

changes? Do users complain that it’s boring and repetitive? Do you discuss the<br />

implications of not following security policies and procedures? Have users gotten<br />

to the point that they unconsciously (or sometimes consciously) ignore the<br />

security processes and technologies that are in place to protect them? In this<br />

session we’ll discuss some ideas and resources to help you make security<br />

awareness training and following day-to-day security best practices more fun--<br />

and even entertaining--so users better understand their responsibilities and the<br />

importance of safe computing.<br />

Building a Successful One-to-One Strategy- 72<br />

Jeanne Sullivan, <strong>MOREnet</strong><br />

Public Access Wireless in Libraries Roundtable<br />

Going Google With Chromebooks- 64<br />

Patti Jones, Senath-Hornersville Schools<br />

In August 2012 we handed out 230 Chromebooks to our high school students for<br />

our 1:1 initiative. There was a lot to consider: why these, how to roll out, damage<br />

protection, cases, filtering, parent night, teacher PD, student PD. The list never<br />

seems to stop.<br />

What WERE We Thinking???- 63<br />

Rick Freeborn and Adam Bell, Joplin School District<br />

After a devastating EF5 tornado raged through Joplin, Mo., on May 22, 2011,<br />

Joplin Schools leadership was forced to make some bold decisions that would<br />

fast-forward the district's 21st century strategic plan. Not only did the district's<br />

23-building network infrastructure have to be pieced back together, but newly-<br />

leased facilities had to be wired and made ready for a 2200 laptop 1:1 initiative -<br />

all in 86 days. Listen to Rick, Adam and Dusty, three district technology<br />

specialists, tell the incredible story of the hardships faced in the immediate<br />

summer following the tornado, as well as the challenges and successes they have<br />

personally experienced during an emotional year filled with countless struggles<br />

and triumphs.<br />

CodeLab®: A Powerful Tool for Programming Instruction- 62<br />

Jim Van Horn, MCC KC<br />

CodeLab is the web-based interactive programming exercise system for intro<br />

programming classes in Python, Java, C++, C and other languages. First offered<br />

in 2002 to reduce attrition and raise the overall level of the class, it is a seasoned<br />

system that has been used in over 200 institutions and analyzed over thirty million<br />

exercise submissions from more than 150,000 students.<br />

A CodeLab has over 300-800 short exercises, each focused on a particular<br />

programming idea or language construct. The student types in code and the<br />

system immediately judges its correctness, offering hints when the submission is<br />

14


incorrect. Through this process, the student gains mastery over the semantics,<br />

syntax and common usage of the language elements.<br />

Cacti Monitoring- Redbud<br />

Andy Hall, Platte County R-III<br />

With the ever-increasing demands on network and other back-end technologies,<br />

Geocaching Across the Curriculum **TWO HOURS**- 72<br />

Barbara Warren Madden, North Kansas City Schools<br />

In 2000, President Clinton signed legislation opening up global positioning<br />

technology to the world. Before that time, it was accessible only by the U.S.<br />

Department of Defense. To celebrate, a gentleman from Portland, Oregon hid a<br />

container of trinkets and challenged his friends to find it given only the longitude<br />

and latitude. With that first hide, geocaching (geo = earth; and caching = hidden<br />

treasure) was born. To date, almost 2 million caches have been hidden with<br />

15


people from around the world enjoying geocaching as a hobby.<br />

(www.geocaching.com) Participants will learn how to use geocaching so their<br />

students will be equipped to benefit from the braiding of the geocaching<br />

experience with their respective school districts’ curricula. As a result, geocaching<br />

will become an additional tool in their teaching tool belts and will assist in offering<br />

exciting learning opportunities for students of all ages and abilities.<br />

Web 2.0: Motivation, Collaboration, Engagement- 73<br />

Stacey Kramer, Kirksville R3<br />

Ever wonder how to increase your student's engagement and motivation, along<br />

with increasing classroom collaboration? This presentation will show you how to<br />

integrate free Web 2.0 tools into your classroom. These tools will not only increase<br />

motivation and engagement, but increase reading comprehension skills, deductive<br />

reasoning skills, math skills and more. Research shows that using web<br />

applications such as social networking tools, organizational tools and games build<br />

self confidence, increase student collaboration, increase their desire to learn and<br />

increase the amount of retained knowledge. I will also show you how to use<br />

gaming in today's classrooms to improve your students' attention to detail along<br />

with their focus. During a 20-week research project, I increased my 7th graders'<br />

non-fiction reading comprehension skill by over 30 percent using games and Web<br />

2.0 tools. And you can too. There are no secrets, no money to pay, just free Web<br />

2.0 resources that are available to anyone willing to try.<br />

IT or Educators – Who’s Driving the Bus?- 63<br />

Mary Schlegelmilch, Cisco<br />

Who holds the vision for technology in your institution? Stakeholder alignment is<br />

critical to creating and implementing a technology vision with today’s economic<br />

challenges. Technology empowers and engages teaching and learning and<br />

expands the time, space, boundaries and relationships of education. Anywhere,<br />

anytime, any device, any content teaching and learning enables educational<br />

institutions to extend the walls of the traditional classroom. Development of a<br />

vision enables your institution to travel safely and reach your destinations. This<br />

session is recommended for administrators, teachers and IT staff.<br />

Mobile devices, blended learning and 1:1 programs are increasingly the norm in<br />

schools, as they give students access to anytime/anywhere learning<br />

opportunities with a tool that keeps them engaged. But along with the benefits<br />

come some management challenges. And while IT is tasked with many aspects<br />

of the management, security and maintenance of mobile devices, in the end it’s<br />

educators who need to ensure that the devices are supporting learning goals and<br />

that students have the access and applications required for lessons and<br />

assignments.<br />

classroom, you might be exploring iPads, tablets, laptops, e-readers, etc. for your<br />

students. Everything is pointing to a future classroom where the students are<br />

using their own individual devices during class. What does this do with the legacy<br />

equipment in the classroom like your interactive whiteboard? How does this<br />

expensive piece of equipment still fit within the puzzle of the digital age learning<br />

space?<br />

With this massive shift happening throughout schools around the world, one thing<br />

is for certain--teachers LOVE their IWB. Come learn how the work being done by<br />

the teacher and all the files the teacher had previously created are not obsolete<br />

but can still play a good role in the next frontier of digital instruction. There are<br />

many possibilities and not all make sense for every school. Whether you are<br />

looking at e-books, vendor-specific IWB applications (Notebook for the iPad),<br />

Splashtop or other apps or even are using additional devices like the AppleTV in<br />

your classroom, there are many items to consider so you are not banishing a large<br />

part of your classroom instruction and just jumping on the “next big thing” and<br />

forgoing the tried and true IWB of yesterday.<br />

your students in your classroom and with classrooms anywhere in the world to<br />

gather data specific to location. During this hands-on session we will build forms<br />

to collect data and explore new creative ways to display the results.<br />

iTeach: Using the iPad- Parasol II<br />

John Swezey, Drexel R-IV<br />

make an iPad user-friendly as a classroom teacher's only device. Reviews and<br />

demos of the various apps will be included along with several student activities.<br />

Empowering Teachers and Students With Response Technology- Parasol I<br />

Linda Mikels, Turning Technologies<br />

In this day where teachers and students have been victimized by a focus on<br />

testing to determine effective teaching and adequate learning, student response<br />

technology gives assessment an entirely new meaning. Assessment is NOT a four-<br />

letter word when it is used to improve student learning and generate confidence,<br />

motivation and resilience in our students, while at the same time providing the<br />

instructional tool to support teachers in their relentless pursuit of learning for ALL.<br />

Using student response technology is like having the support of a GPS system in<br />

the classroom, and the feedback it gives allows students to make immediate<br />

adjustments WHILE learning is occurring. This workshop will explore the benefits<br />

of response technology both to the teacher and the learner. Participants will gain<br />

hands-on experience using the technology while learning best practices for its use<br />

in the classroom.<br />

One-to-One 101: What You Need to Know Before You Invest- 70/71<br />

Cherri Crenshaw, Haddock Education Technologies<br />

Take learning beyond the classroom. KUNO′s lightweight yet durable design and<br />

its open-architecture <strong>Android</strong> OS make it ideal for one-to-one environments.<br />

Empower students to research, take digital notes and access course materials<br />

both in and out of the classroom. Let them learn the way that makes sense to<br />

them--through technology. Most educators agree on the potential to increase<br />

collaboration and student engagement with mobile learning, but they also share<br />

concerns about how to maintain control of the devices. However, in conjunction<br />

with CurriculumLoft’s MLS (mobile learning solution), districts can wirelessly<br />

manage KUNO devices, apps and curriculum delivery. Textbooks may soon be as<br />

rare as chalk in the classroom. Save those funds (and your students′ backs) by<br />

delivering digital content via KUNO.<br />

New Orbits for Collaboration- 62<br />

Tom Brenneman and David Anstaett, Kansas City Public Schools<br />

Tom Brenneman brought new perspectives to education when he rebuilt the<br />

planetarium at KCPS. His renovated planetarium is a digital planetarium providing<br />

virtual experiences for students in all four core subjects (science, history,<br />

mathematics and communication arts) as well as collaborative opportunities to<br />

explore the universe to make connections to other courses, including but not<br />

limited to physical education, music, foreign language, geography, creative<br />

writing, etc. The use of his Panterra Theatre and connections to the astronomy<br />

curriculum provided via Starry Night High School projection is proving to be a new<br />

level of exploration in the ways technology and academics can join in upper level<br />

learning.<br />

Enterprise Wireless for Beginners- 60/61<br />

Chris Rollison, Marceline R-V<br />

Our district recently moved from individual access points to an enterprise wireless<br />

system that involves a controller. Through this presentation, I will cover how a<br />

small school on a flat network went from very little knowledge to implementing<br />

Radius authentication and offering the ability for BYOD in the future. I will cover<br />

our journey through the selection of a vendor, planning the network and deploying<br />

the system. This will be geared toward smaller school networks that are looking to<br />

deploy wireless but are unsure where to start.<br />

when integrating technology further into their classroom. We will show two types<br />

of ebooks on Apple IOS devices and the ups and downs with each file type and<br />

app involved. Then we will demonstrate how to convert existing materials into<br />

those files with free utilities. The same process works for non-Apple devices, but<br />

features will vary a little from Apple's iBooks.<br />

Celebrating Failure and Teaching Lazy: How To Rethink the Model of Teacher<br />

and Student in the Classroom- 63<br />

Christopher Klein, Computer Solutions<br />

How many people know the number of times the Wright Brothers did NOT get an<br />

aircraft off the ground? What about the failed attempts of Thomas Edison in<br />

making the first lightbulb? All of the failures that lead to success tend to be<br />

forgotten in a high-stakes world, but they are a crucial and critical part of the<br />

learning process that needs to be celebrated and supported.<br />

Are you a lazy teacher? There is a difference between being a lazy teacher and<br />

teaching lazy. Learn how you can remove the invisible boundary on learning that<br />

you might be presenting and focus instead on providing the opportunities<br />

students need to go beyond what is thought possible of them.<br />

Teaching lazy and celebrating failure are two concepts that shifted the dynamics in<br />

my classroom and opened the door to a much more meaningful learning<br />

community that included myself. Come and be challenged, come and disagree<br />

but either way come and at least listen. Flipped classrooms, 1:1 learning, all of this<br />

requires an element of “letting go” that I encourage us all to think about.<br />

Edmodo- 62<br />

Sherry Brewen, Sunrise R-IX<br />

It is online so it has easy access to all using it whether at home or school. It is a<br />

safe place where students can turn in work, ask questions and get results, and the<br />

best part is that teachers get a copy of everything that is sent. It has saved many<br />

trees in my classrooms.<br />

Moving Forward: Distance Learning Gives New Meaning to "Together"- 62<br />

David Anstaett and Tom Brenneman, Kansas City Public Schools<br />

From the Teacher's Side of the Desk - Making 1:1 Work- 60/61<br />

Melody Paige and Ivy Nelson, Monett R-1<br />

For whatever flavor your school decides to go with: 1:1, BYOD, laptops, tablets,<br />

the decision has been made that more technology is coming to your school and,<br />

most importantly, your classroom. What can you do as the teacher to make this a<br />

more streamlined and effective process? Do you have a couple of years to<br />

prepare? A couple of months? Or, perhaps the technology is already in the hands<br />

of the students and you are wanting ideas on how to do things differently. Either<br />

way, this session will provide some insightful ideas from the teacher's side of the<br />

desk to help you along this journey. Monett High School went 1:1 (or as they call<br />
