  • The Benefits of a Proxy/Cache Server in a School - 495kB
    First presented at the Term 1, 2001 District Computer Coordinators' Training Day, this slideshow explains what a proxy/cache server is, how it can benefit your school and how to get one almost for free!

  • Principals' E-Mail System (WebMail) - 500kB
    In Term 4, 1999 all school principals received a department e-mail account accessible via MS Outlook WebMail.  This slideshow provides a good understanding of what E-Mail is as well as how to access it using the WebMail system.

  • School Intranets (huh?) - 63kB
    Presented at a session in early 1999, this show attempts to explain the shortcomings of the internet and how a school intranet might help to solve them.  Clearly laid out, the show will detail what's needed to set an intranet up, from cabling to servers to workstations to content.  Very useful information.

  • Getting Through to OASIS Y2K - 93kB
    Several sessions across Sydney were held during Term 4, 1999 to explain the changes brought in as part of the OASIS Y2K server replacement program.  This slideshow covers all aspects of changes to OASIS in both Admin and Library and is excellent reference material.

  • School Technology Planning Course (Part 1 of 3) - 114kB
    A training course was conducted each year until 1999 covering the school technology planning process.  The course was run over a whole semester in three separate workshops.  This slideshow covers the first workshop which included an understanding of the strategic planning process, identifying the school's priorities, tracking assets and skills, developing a framework for improvement and determining the school's technology goals.

  • School Technology Planning Course (Part 2 of 3) - 100kB
    This slideshow covers the second workshop and includes the investigation of solutions, determining security needs, evaluating solutions, looking at T&D needs, developing a budget and publishing the plan.

  • School Technology Planning Course (Part 3 of 3) - 46kB
    This slideshow covers the third workshop and includes the revision and reinforcement of the planning process, utilising the internet as a planning tool, implementation of the school's draft technology plan and an understanding of how to evaluate the school's plan.

  • Preparing Schools for SchoolsNET - 134kB
    In early 1999, a presentation was made to a large group of newly inducted Technology Advisers in other districts.  This was during a particularly hectic time leading up to the Y2K problem, OASIS Y2K, cabling of schools between Admin and Library and the installation of SchoolsNET in all schools.  This slideshow aimed at Technology Advisers highlights the issues being faced by schools (at the time) and how the new TA can be more effective in his/her role.

  • Electronic Mail - A New Way to Communicate - 455kB
    In late 1996, just after internet access was provided to all schools via dial-up ISP access through OzeMail, this presentation was made to give schools an idea about how they can utilise the e-mail feature of the internet service.  This slideshow explains the concepts of e-mail and presents a number of ideas for its use.  Still relevant today.
