Does the educational system that you are affiliated with offer a shared storage area on the network for students or faculty?------Do you find this beneficial?
Yes, faculty and students do have access to a shared network storage device. I used to use it more than I do now. I pretty much have all my most important resources saved there, on my laptop, and on an external hard drive.
What type of Email System does your educational system implement? Do you use this mail system at school?.......from home? explain.....
We used to use Microsoft Outlook. Over the past year, we've begun using Google Apps for education. Our email is now conducted through Google as well as shared documents, etc. I've emailed the Director of Technology numerous times this year already about getting our students accounts for shared apps as well. They should have them any day now. Also, I access email and shared docs from any computer with Internet access.
Overall, from this chapter, the most important thing that I learned is that the technology coordinator of a district can "do everything right" but still unexpected problems are going to arise. Perhaps the best way to avoid resource abuse is by educating all students and district employees on the proper use of those resources.
