I wanted to take a moment to pass on a link to an upcoming webinar that is being broadcast on February 3rd. The guest speaker will be Joe Fives from Kansas City, Kansas Public School District.
Worry-free Strategies for School Laptop Management
Wednesday, February 03, 2010 from 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (Mountain)
Learn how a proactive school district:
• Tracks over 6,000 MacBook® computers, even when they leave school networks
• Drives down theft rates, bringing peace of mind to students and teachers
• Recovered several missing laptops and even one runaway student!
• Got school board and grant approvals for technology objectives
• Applies tracking for IT administrative tasks
I was fortunate enough to be covering KCK Public Schools during this rollout. We included Computrace as a part of the image. It keeps a binary under the hood that talks to the Computrace servers to do it's job. KCK could flag a computer as stolen or missing, and the Computrace servers would provide detailed information of it's location once it came back on the network. If it couldn't be located, there was even the option for the Computrace agent to erase the hard drive after a certain period of time, or with a flag once it came back online. Lots of options, lots of control. Once word was out in the community that this technology was in place on student laptops, it became a huge theft deterrent.
Thanks, Corey
