Few Rocks, Little Bumps and Forward Progress....

PageMaker Error

So another week has passed and I have to admit it has been a fun and exciting week (even for a short week)!  With some minor glitches, phones are up, projectors are "projecting", and laptop can find the Internet.  All good things in a school...

I had to remind myself that this is a TEMPORARY location.  Just like the Principal said..." It's time for the busses already?" this last Monday.  It's been that way all week, I think.

Technology Tidbits...

All district phones call now be called by their four (4) number extensions from inside the district.  I remeber when it was possible to call almost anywhere in Vermont on sever digits, so four is almost like going back to the '60's... (Whoops, I might be dating myself....)

So, just to see how good you are with OLD technology, I'm placing a few "out-dated"  objects here...

If you know what there objects are, Comment below...  Who knows, if you get then all right there might be a prize in it...

See you all next week, have a nice Labor Day "mini-vacation"...

New Times in New Places!

Tech Times Hi Everyone! Welcome to this years version of most of Hyde Park Elementary School in Morrisville (HPES@Plaza).  Also to the 6th graders, living the "high life", at the Tech. Center, you are not forgotten. Let me introduce myself, I'm Mike Lambert and I'm the new Technology Coordinator for Hyde Park.  I'm a Systems Engineer with many (40+) years experience in Technology, including business systems and education.  I've been "around" since mainframe computer days and have worked on many projects ranging from enabling TCP/IP audio in the New York Subway, to creating state wide video systems, and lots of school networking.  I'm a former President of VITA-Learn, and I'm active in technology at many levels. I will start here by confirming to you that technology moves at a fast and nearly impossible to keep up with pace!  New items today, can easily be "old" items by next week (sometimes by the next day)!

The NEW Chromecast Rational  Cables, cables cables...  Several years ago I started to look for a good solution to replace the USB and VGA video "hook-ups" from a User Device (read: chromebook, tablet, laptop, cell phone) to a projector (or a display device). Why? You might ask.  First off, by today's standards, VGA is a "low resolution" standard.  The projector connection also required a USB to the audio systems of the device presenting so not one but TWO cables were required to the device.  One of a laptops or tablets strength is "portability", but when tethered to a projector, it looked more like astronaut to a space station; very limited "portability".   (Along with the cords looking like a lifeline!) Enter HDMI .... "HDMI  ( High-Definition Multimedia Interface ) is a  proprietary  audio/video  interface  for transmitting  uncompressed video  data and compressed or uncompressed  digital a...
