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)!

Part of my job is applying all this new "stuff" to make a great education even better. The purpose of this blog is to give everyone here a place to go to look for hints, suggestions and working solutions.  From time to time, you might even get some "peeks" into new things, too!

In general, you'll be looking through my eyes at current topics that have to deal with helping you understand current and future technology in this fast paced environment.  Keep in mind you may get my opinions on things too, and I ALWAYS welcome YOUR feedback.  The audience this blog will be directed to is not just teacher and staff, but students too.

So with that being said....

Come along with me for the ride!

    Welcome Mike! We are very lucky to have you at our school. It is refreshing to have someone who is experienced in their field and can help Hyde Park lead the way in education through technology.

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...
