 * Agenda Topics(Please add your own topics below)**
 * Reflections on //**"new"**// Upper School space
 * iPad Management & Integration: For those of you with iPad programs, how do you manage iOS & software updates? How do you manage integration with Active Directory/LDAP accounts? How do you provide access to shared file storage? [Keith Gillette]
 * LAN School: With a multiplatform 1:1 environment on the horizon next year, we're considering using LAN School. Is anyone else using it? Strengths and weaknesses you've experienced?
 * Managing shared resources: for those who are not 1:1 yet, how do you manage shared equipment use (laptops, carts, etc.)? We currently have a check-out system through the library, but the librarian and myself are quickly becoming overwhelmed by the demand and management. [Beth Shutters] 
 * Beth, we run several laptop carts that use a freeware password-protected online calendar; teachers have to reserve by 4:30 the day before they want it delivered. They also sign off on a low-tech sheet that travels with the cart that all the laptops that should be there are there; they also sign off on it when it's picked up to make sure all the laptops are there and plugged in...teachers have keys to lock and unlock carts. We are accommodating up to 500 cart reservations per quarter. There are also 30 laptops available for checkout and use in the library, either by teachers teaching a class or kids working during free periods. We used to have a loaner pool for still cameras, video cameras, and laptops for grown ups to use, but we stopped it when we a) realized most of it was being used for purposes that had nothing to do with school, and b) figured out how much time we were spending chasing people down to return items. People who had a genuine school-related need for these items were asked to demonstrate that need, and we did our best to get them their own devices to use. -- Curt Lieneck, UC Lab School
 * New AP curriculum standards - Has anyone studied the technology resources that will be needed to meet their new requirements?
