After lunch, a representative from VMWare introduces their ESX server and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, VDI.

What does a Case Study have to do with a Digital Camera?
NHDOE and NHSTE are collaborating on a statewide effort to collect information about educational technology projects that have positively impacted students in New Hampshire schools. To begin this effort, any school project leader or classroom teacher submitting an Effective Projects Case Study between January 15 and March 31, 2008 will have a chance to win a digital camera for their school or classroom, courtesy of the New Hampshire Affiliate of the International Society for Technology in Education (NHSTE). A total of 10 digital cameras (valued at $200/each) will be given away through a random drawing in early April. These case studies will provide important information to share with school administrators as well as state and national legislators who need to know how technology has made a difference for students in New Hampshire schools.
Click here for more info and to submit your case study online at the NHDOE – Office of Educational Technology. Deadline is March 15th.
 If you have not been before . . . . Now's the time to really consider going!
