Technology on a Shoestring: A Survival Guide for Educators and Other Professionals

Overview

"Dealing with technology within the school environment poses problems that don't exist in the corporate world, such as donated equipment, old computers, and special laws related to the disabilities and protection of children. In addition, many technical coordinators """"fell"""" into the job simply because they were the first in their school to own a computer. This simple, easy-to-follow guide speaks directly to these beleaguered educators and their specific needs so they can fully understand technology and make it work for them. Providing a practical road map for running a successful system in a low-budget and low-support environment, this survival guide addresses: how to consider important factors such as cost, support, and requirements; how to handle vendors and users; how to design a network or a website; how to fight viruses, trouble shoot, or recover from a disaster; and how to maintain your own sanity through it all!"
