One of the most mission critical systems in schools today is WiFi. If you want anytime/anywhere learning to happen in your institution, then a solid network infrastructure is essential - but many schools have no idea how to do this!
Heads of School and Principals may not understand what is involved and don't have the language to become informed experts.Teachers may not understand the potential of Anytime/Anywhere learning.I.T. Directors may not be fully informed on implementation.Academic Technology Specialists may not know the right "tech speak" to get what they need.
Well, on Tuesday April 19th at Noon sharp (Pacific Daylight Time) CIJE's Technology in Plain English will be hosting a LIVE Webcast that is just for you!! (click here to register)
We will cover, IN PLAIN ENGLISH (hence the name in the title!!):
- What is WiFi and how it works.
- How to set up an excellent WiFi configuration for your school.
- How to "tune" an existing WiFi installation for maximum benefit.
- Go over all of those "techie terms" so that you can understand what your hardware vendor/consultant/IT manager is talking about!
Joining me LIVE, will be a panel of educators and school administrators who have just gone through or are about to go through major changes to their WiFi systems.
Clark Brandon, Dean of Students - Arete Preparatory Academy
Clark Brandon's passion for the arts has involved him in television, film, and design for over thirty years. Born into a New York theatrical family, it was natural for Clark to start his career as an actor, starring in several television series. He went on to write and direct independent films, including the cult film "Skeeter" for New Line Cinema. His visionary instincts led him to the Internet in the 90's where he designed and programmed innovative and dynamic websites. In addition to his administrative role at Areté, Clark has taught New Media, Film and Society, and Documentary Filmmaking and has helped to create the school's unique arts program.
Erica Huls, Director of Educational Technology - Jacob Pressman Academy
Erica Huls hails from a long line of mid-western educators. Her love of computers began when her father set up an Apple IIe in her bedroom before she was even five years old. She received her undergraduate degree from Augsburg College in MN and a Master's Degree in Educational Technology from the University of Minnesota, Mankato. Currently, she is the Director of Educational Technology for Rabbi Jacob Pressman Academy in Los Angeles, CA where she wears as many hats as can fit on her head.
Rabbi Yitzchak Feiglin, Director of Operations - Valley Torah High School
Rabbi Feiglin was instrumental in converting the out of date WiFi network at the Valley Torah Boys High School to latest state-of-the-art system and, with Dr Eliezer Jones - General Studies Principal, beginning the implementation of a Chromebook 1to1 program.
This event is free. Technology in Plain English is a service of The Center for Initiatives in Jewish Education (CIJE).

To that end, CIJE seeks to upgrade the technology and programs available to Jewish day schools and yeshivot so that the education these schools provide is world-class.
