Week 2 blog presentation
This document contains information about the E-Rate program and Caddo Mills ISD Technology Plan.
The E-Rate program provides discounts for telecommunications and internet access to schools and libraries. To apply, applicants must develop a technology plan and undergo a competitive bidding process. The technology plan must include goals for using technology, an assessment of needs, and a budget.
Caddo Mills ISD's technology plan aims to assist students, faculty, and staff in becoming global learners by making hardware, software, and professional development available. The plan provides for using technology to identify student needs, infusing technology into instruction, allowing parent access to grades and information, and offering credit recovery options using computer software.
E-Rate PowerPoint
The document discusses the E-Rate program, which provides discounts of 20-90% on telecommunication services for schools and libraries. It outlines the eligible services, which include phone, internet access, and equipment installation. The application process involves 13 steps and selecting an approved vendor once granted funding. The level of discount is based on the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced lunch programs. For example, Keller Independent School District's economically disadvantaged population of 5,830 students would qualify it for up to a 40% E-Rate discount.

Online Consumer Reports WCET
This document discusses trends in online higher education, including increased participation by both institutions and consumers. It notes that competition is growing as around 1,600 schools now offer online programs. However, information available to prospective students is often poor and directories are dominated by school-led rather than aggregator-led information. There is little standardized comparative data to help students choose between schools. The document argues greater transparency could help with student choice, differentiation, efficiency and accountability in the online education market.

The Universal Service Fund, commonly known as E-Rate, provides discounts to schools and libraries in the US to obtain affordable telecommunications and internet access. Funding is requested under four categories of service and discounts range from 20-90% depending on poverty levels and location. Eligible schools and libraries apply individually or as consortia and follow steps including determining eligibility, preparing a technology plan, opening bidding, selecting providers, and receiving funding to begin services. The program aims to ensure affordable access to telecom and information services for educational purposes.
Presentation week 2
This document discusses the E-rate program, which provides funding for internet access, telecommunications, and networking for schools and libraries. It works by having schools develop technology plans, notify the FCC of their needs, involve vendors through bidding, and file paperwork for approval and reimbursement. The program is funded through telecommunications revenues paid by end users. Schools and libraries can check their funding status on the universalservice.org website. The rest of the document discusses Galena Park ISD's technology improvement plan, including assessing needs, goals and objectives around infrastructure and skills, and an action plan to increase access and staff development.

Sallisaw Public School's technology plan has 10 goals focused on professional development, integrating technology, equal access, supporting learning, and increasing student and adult use of technology.
Schools & libraries program of the universal service
The E-Rate program provides discounts on telecommunications and internet access for schools and libraries. It was established by Congress in 1996 to make these services more affordable. Schools may receive discounts from 20-90% on internet access and wiring, based on the income levels of their students and whether they are in a rural or urban area. To qualify, schools must develop a technology plan with goals such as providing professional development, equal access to technology, and using technology to promote learning and parental involvement. The costs are paid by telecommunications providers through contributions to the Universal Service Fund, which may be passed onto consumers through bills.
An Introduction to the Coalition
A coalition of highly respected American public and private colleges and universities has begun the design and organization of an online platform that hopes to recast the nature of applying to college in the 21st centruy. As a group, all colleges and universities in this coalition are committed to strong outcomes, high graduation rates, and, perhaps most importantly, broadening college access by making their institutions affordable for as many families as possible. This presentation will outline the progress the coalition has made in the past year of development, highlight the benefits of this new application platform, and point to the road ahead of a full launch in 2016.

States are increasingly focused on ensuring students graduate high school prepared for college and careers. To improve preparation efforts, stakeholders need information on student outcomes after high school. Many states now produce high school feedback reports using longitudinal data systems, but report quality and content varies. Most reports include indicators like college enrollment, remediation, credit accumulation and completion rates. Further development of these reports could help stakeholders better support student success.

The presentation concludes that efficiently using both E-Rate and the technology plan will enhance education for students and faculty at Stratford ISD.
The school and libraries program
The Schools and Libraries Program, also known as E-Rate, provides discounts on telecommunication services, internet access, and equipment to schools and libraries. Discounts range from 20-90% depending on the level of poverty. Crockett Junior High applied for and received technological grants to purchase equipment like projectors, ELMOs, and Smart Boards, along with teacher training, to increase the use of instructional technology.
What is e rate.ppt
The E-Rate program provides discounts of 20-90% on telecommunications, internet access, and infrastructure to US schools and libraries. To qualify for E-Rate discounts through HISD, services, uses, and locations must meet eligibility criteria. HISD has utilized 84% E-Rate discounts for maintenance, telecommunications, and internet access from 2009-2011. However, a scandal involving board members and vendors has impacted HISD's integrity for E-Rate funding.
E rate
E-Rate is a program that provides discounted telecommunication systems and internet access to schools and libraries to ensure Americans can stay connected regardless of ability to pay. Schools and libraries qualify if they are non-profit organizations, with schools being elementary and secondary and libraries operating independently from schools. Eligibility is determined by preparing a technology plan outlining educational goals and usage, professional development, and ongoing evaluation.

How to leverage E-Rate funding and how to best leverage bandwidth to create robust and reliable education networks
E rate presentation
The E-Rate program provides discounts of 20-90% on telecommunication services, internet access, internal connections, and basic maintenance to assist most schools and libraries in obtaining affordable connectivity in the United States. Schools are responsible for additional resources like equipment, software, training, and developing a technology plan with clear goals for how connectivity will be used and assessed. The plan must include strategies for professional development and evaluating progress towards goals.
Informational Powerpoint Presentation
The document summarizes California's Education Technology K-12 Voucher Program, which resulted from a legal settlement to provide $500 million in vouchers to eligible K-12 public schools.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
