Bob Moore, Dell/Global Education Practices

The Future of Infrastructure and how it will Fundamentally will change the role of the CIO

Past, present and Future Role of CIO Cosn and Springwork.

CIO or CTO same thing today The evolution of IT and Computers

Skills and mindset for IT vastly different today than 20 years ago...

Mainframe 1950 No CIO Biggest job, just keep the mainframe running, only did specific functions Change wires and Tubes to “program” the computer mini Computing 1960 No CIO Different functions different needs Computers not connected

PC/Client Servrer ERA 1980 Emergence of the CIO Computers came to schools Small business used computers Lotus 1,2,3 IT competitive and strategic advantage America Airlines, airline reservations via computers **IT Manager** Tech Skills IT Knowledge Tech Industry Knowledge PM People Management Directive keep IT Running **CIO** Leadership Skills Business (Education) Acumen Knowledge of Competitive landscape Collaborative (work with HR, Planning, Operations, not just directing operation) Help the business meet the strategic goals Position IT to create competitive advantage, how do you differentiate yourself.

Teach Kids how to do Keyboarding, spreadsheets and flat databases **Internet Era 1990** IT Manager same as 1980 CIO Same as 1980 Need to address laws, CIPA, COPPA, FERPA The outside is reaching in.. Connected inside and outside Tech viewed as important in Education Emergence of organisation as CoSN Increase in Edtech funding Emergence of k-12 CIO-CTO Manytimes CTO acts more like the IT manager

Consumer-ization of IT Everyone is the expert IT spends most time to Keep the lights on less time on innovation should be 50-50 more like 70-30 Need to show return on investments (is student achivement increasing?)

Virtual Era – 2010 Complexity and support will level off Virtualization of everything Server, clients, storage, network infrastructure Can scale and be flexible very quickly

2010 verizon report on CLOUD Computing..... Health Care adopting cloud computing

Forget about IT rethink the role of IT departments Running system vs business/education

Let Go You cant controll everything why bother

Embrace Diversity Client virtualization

Blow the lid of Data limits

Not one to one, do many to one.

KEEP YOUR MIND OPEN!

Changes over the next decade significantly moore!!

WEB 2.0 Time to adoption cloud computing, one year or less Horizon report, New Media Consortium Download from CoSN.org/horizon website, download the.toolkit to start the discussion in the schoool district.

School Leaders sees value in using web 2.0. Leaders have awarness but are they using it themselves? Surveyd Superintendents, curriculum leaders and CTO a national survey Keep kids engaged meet needs of different learners Extending the day of the learning.

Protect, Preserve, Progress Are these tools safe to use in the schools? Wasting time can be self directed learning

Are we preparing our kids to work in a collaborative world? Nobelprize are rarely won in isolation, it is mostly in collaboration. We need to get school leaders to use it..

Need enough band width for using online collaborative tools. No one device per 5 students

Mobile devices viewed as obstruction, look in to the developing countries like Philipnes or Africa

Maine has done the one to one initiative since 2002 Angus King the leader that made it happen.

Need to have student centered environment, the kids go out, touch the web, find the information... Talk to teachers about the barriers Provide visionary leadership for people who does not know it yet!! The Superintendent and the Principal will keep us safe... take problems and turn it into a learning opportunity.

How do we re-engaged the kids, use the same tools they use outside the school, they want to collaborate with their pears..

Henry Jenkins, coined the “Participatory Culture” How can we make our schools a participatory learning culture...

CoSN coming out with a administrators guide, what to ask what are the strategies.. Release a community toolkit, as well as some policy guidelines.

Grade 6-8, does a webquest for Digital Citizenship.

Kevin Warenda... Longmeadow Public school Google Apps Will we archive it, CIPA complient, can turn the APPS off Can specify that kids can only send e-mail within the district.

In Maine a lot of schools let kids used e-mail outside the “walled Garden”

Kids will learn school and learn what tools they need to use to communicate with school.

How do you use a word processing to help the writing!
