Jan 4 2011

Good Morning,  Got here at 7:50 and started up the day by checking e-mail to see if any of the Supt had responded to my information on the IDEAS Registration.  Only the two from yesterday so far but it is early.  I will be monitoring a CIV session this morning in Conf H. I will only have to make sure it is working since it is staff members only.  My goals for today are to work on the Web server by backing up the site and setting up a new box to see if the site is still working (DR testing), and to continue communicating with the Supt about the IDEAS Registration.  I will be using OpenSuse 11.2 for the server install and keep with CMSMadeSimple as the CMS product for the server.

9:30 Call from Laura C (ECP Greenwood) needing help with video recording and security about special ed students for observation this was a long conversation due to security and technical issues.  suggested using google apps with a security share only to the person that needed the video.  Also suggested that she contact special ed people to verify the restrictions on security with special ed students that that issue was not technical.  Explained packet capturing and other issues that could limit the security of the video through the internet
