<p>Has anyone scripted the install of the Julie Voice Pack? I really do not want to touch each machine that this needs to be installed on.</p>
<p>In particular, I think the actual install will be easy via a script to do the install and then copy the license file to the appropriate place. But the problem I'm finding is changing the default voice in the control panel to the Julie Voice. If I can do this with Group Policy, I would be a happy techy today.

<p>I'm curious what everyone is using for providing access to your school's network. Do you provide VPN access in to your network for you staff members? If so, what do they access inside the network.</p>
<p>I'm looking to provide VPN access to our file servers so staff members can work on their Office, SMART Notebook, and other misc. files from the comfort of their easy chairs at home or the bar or wherever.</p>

Together with I-Tunes U teachers would have the ability to integrate e-books directly into their courses. With I-books author (free with Mac) a teacher can import something like a CK12 textbook and add their own lecture via youtube or mp4 throw in a 3D graph to create an awesome textbook.</p>

<p>Hello everyone,</p>
<p></p>
<p>We will be doing a 1:1 initiative with iPad 4 starting next school year (2013-14). Since we have picked the device we can do create documents specific to the device but also policies for students to use the device and training. We are also looking into insurance coverage for each device since they will be taken home. We are considering a "Technology Fee" also for self coverage for repairs or replacement costs. </p>

<p>We are looking for any documents that have already been created specifically for iPads or any 1:1 device program to help us get this project going on a good start.</p>

Uploaded with this discussion item is a read-only Excel document that lists Minnesota districts that are missing their Item 21 attachments for the most recent eRate Form 471 submissions. Take a look if you're unsure about your district's status for the Item 21 attachments. I did a quick scan and the only SEMTEC Group schools that I saw in the list were Owatonna and Wabasha-Kellogg, but I certainly might have missed a listing!<br />
<br />
Thanks!
