Protecting Workstations in an Education Environment: Best Practices and Lessons Learned
Chuck Taylor | K-12 Microcomputer Specialist, San Juan Unified School District
Computers in education environments are among the toughest IT environments to manage and secure. The large number of daily users, the limited resources of on-site staff, and the immense number of schools that district technology personnel must manage all come together to create an IT 'perfect storm'.
With the right tools and practices, IT administrators can create bulletproof computer labs that deliver trouble-free computing to the teachers and the students. Learn the concepts required to easily and effectively deploy workstation security software, and manage them at an enterprise level. This session is a must for any IT administrator managing Mac computers in a K-12 or Higher Ed environment.
Makes a good case for Deep-Freeze.

The Secret 'i' in iPod: Amazing Things You Didn't Know You Could Do
Hall Davidson | Director, Discovery Educator Network
Nothing is better than Macs for building projects from a wild variety of software and sources. Build curriculum projects integrating Google Earth, iTunes, iPhoto, Parallels (tap XP software!), media libraries, and QuickTime Pro that grab students via the iPod—or iPod peripherals (like VCRs/TVs/ projectors). A wild i-ticket ride through the technology thicket!
Always entertaining.
