Hacking isn't a dirty word. Hacking is about making things work with what you have. This slide deck is from the New York City Department of Education's School Technology Summit 2014. The presentation deals with internal resources for getting the most out of technology as well as a few simple work-arounds for making the things that don't always work, work.

Event: SoCal UX Camp 2016
Presented by: Steven Meyer
In the United States there are still plenty of people without access to the Internet. Even those with mobile Internet access can still be plagued with dead zones, or low reception areas. Properly managing your application flow from these online to offline transitions will improve the user experience. In this session we will take a look at Chromebooks in education and ways that we have improved the offline experience.
In a nutshell screen capture is the art of developing educational materials by capturing a video of what is happening on a computer screen. This simple process can allow rapid creation of rich-media instructional aides. In this talk I will present some experiences of mine and of my colleagues in developing these resources for students of Oscail in Dublin City University who are studying a Bsc. in Information Technology by distance education. I will look at some tips I wrote two years ago on this topic and examine their continued relevance. The take-home message of this talk will be “publish or perish”, an exhortation to the educator to focus not on fancy production or editing of screen captures but rather on a process that involves a minimum of time and technical effort to create videos and get them to students. To finish I will give an overview of how we are using Camtasia Studio with Google Video as part of DCU’s roll out of Google Apps for Education and demonstrate some interesting aspects of this elearning platform.

This presentation was prepared for principals and vice-principals in the Ottawa Catholic School Board. Technology tips with a focus on web 2.0 tools and free Google tools were the main focus.
This completely new approach to jQuery. I made a super simple tutorial about jQuery. From this you can take a syntax easier. Enjoy.
=> Please comment how you feel about this tutorial :)
Thank you very much.
Set up students and teachers to excel now and in the future with Intel proces...Principled Technologies
We compared system performance on four ChromeOS devices powered by increasingly powerful Intel processors
Conclusion
AI technology, on ChromeOS devices equipped with powerful Intel processors, could be the steppingstone your district needs to make learning more accessible, increase student engagement, and remove barriers to student success. In our hands-on tests, each step up in the Intel processor upgrade story resulted in quicker open app and tab recoveries after shutdown in a traditional session restore scenario and a session restore scenario featuring AI. Don’t miss this opportunity to help teachers and students reach their potential.

Hack the DOE
Making it Work Even When You Thought You Couldn’t
School Technology Summit 2014 - 7/30/14
Presentation Materials:
http://goo.gl/irH2Mo (case sensitive)
2. What doesn’t work?
The usual suspects
YouTube is blocked
Flash wont update
iPads wont update
what else…?
4. iPads wont update?
No problem
Running iOS 6 or older?
can’t update on DOE network
use Configurator via USB
take device home & update to iOS 7
Running iOS 7?
problem is solved, will update in DOE
might need to wait for quiet network time (ie: before or after
school)
5. No Flash on iPads?
No problem
Download either:
Rover - plays Flash, geared toward edu content
Puffin Lite - plays all Flash for a limited time
Puffin - unlimited Flash access
6. Flash won’t update?
Of course it won’t, installer is blocked by the proxy
Download full version here:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
Bottom of page click: your operating system/
browser combination is not displayed, click here for
older versions of Adobe Flash Player.
Scroll to Flash Player Archives
Download latest version (it’ll be 100+ MB)
7. Flash pt 2…
A .zip file downloads
Double-click to open
Navigate to the main folder (not the “debug” one)
For Mac users:
double click the “_pkg.dmg” file and then use the enclosed
package to install & distribute
For Windows users:
double click the one of the Windows files (either .msi or .exe - to be
honest I’m not sure, I’m a Mac guy, nay a Windows box in sight)
8. Flash pt 3
Here is a step-by-step tutorial of how to update Flash
within the NYCDOE (Mac specific)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/xxmtzsc1cc9e1co/
Flash_Update_setup.pdf
9. Easiest way to update
Flash?
Use Chrome
the Flash updates are embedded within the browser
auto-update so you should never have a problem
10. Print from a Chromebook
Why?
It’s a Chromebook, everything is in the cloud
It’s paperless, that’s kind of the point…
Ok, you really need to print?
log in to your Google account on a printer-connected
computer & print away
11. or Print from Chrome
Log in to Chrome, the browser, on a machine already
configured to print
Go to Settings -> Show Advanced Settings
Google Cloud Print -> Manage -> Classic Printers ->
Add printers
this will add locally connected printers to your
Google Account
sign in to a Chromebook, with the same account,
and print away…
12. Print from an iPad
Not to be snarky, but again, why?
Ok, you really need to print…
Easiest to use Google apps
Chrome, Drive, Docs, Sheets, etc
Follow steps for “print from Chrome” on previous slide
Google iOS apps will see your “classic printers” when
you tap “print”
13. Chromebook & iPad
printing: caveats
It does not seem to work on all DOE printers
my iPad can print to our X646 ATS printer but not a
C782 in the same room
both printers added to my Google account, but only
one works, it’s a bit of trial & error
and yes, I can print from my iPad on the instructional
VLAN wifi to Administrative VLAN printers…
14. Caveats cont
Have not tried Apple Air Print printers as none are DOE
approved
Benefit to Google Cloud Print over Apple’s Air Print is
the ability to use existing printers, where possible
16. Not really
Get YouTube unblocked
submit request: https://apps.nycenet.edu/
Applications/Filtering/
Principal needs to approve
It’s more a bandwidth issue than a content one
we unblocked it but if more than 3 machines in a
room are playing a video the network stalls
17. Principal wont approve
YouTube?
Try these sites, that often stream YouTube videos (or
content similar to YouTube) even if YouTube the URL is
blocked:
http://www.watchknowlearn.org/
https://www.khanacademy.org/
http://www.schooltube.com/
18. Prep your YouTube lesson at
home
Find the video at home, download it to your Drive or
Drobpox or Box account, then play that clip in school
clipconverter.cc
keepvid.com
savefrom.net (or just as “ss” before “youtube” in the
URL to prompt the download - as in
www.ssyoutube.com….)
25. What do you need?
Lets solve some problems while we’re here…
26. Hacking
It’s about changing the way we approach things
and making the most of what we have for the
benefit of our students
