WMR MacSchoolsNet “High End” Technical Support Forum

Why the forum?

MacSchoolsNet often receives requests from members asking how they can they get Macintosh technical support services to augment their existing technical support services. These requests are often the result of limited access to school technicians or because the school is looking for specialist Macintosh high end support for a specific task.

For our MacSchoolsNet, May ‘09 meeting we have brought together four suppliers of high end technical Macintosh support for schools.

Perhaps your school’s needs include the following:

• Macintosh / Windows integration
• Server builds  and maintenance
• Leopard server esp. Podcast Producer / Wiki server
• Setting up Workgroup Manager
• Apple Remote Desktop 3 installation
• Making and deploying disk images [incl. dual platform]
• Setting up Net Boot / Net Restore
• High End Troubleshooting

What is the meeting format?

Each supplier will have five minutes to make a presentation to the whole group.
After the four presentations, each company will set up a stand/stall around the room. This will be the time for participants to ask questions, discuss their individual school needs with suppliers and receive information about companies services and pricing.

After a coffee break, there will also be a short presentation by Mandy Ross from Beyond Chalk about their FREE Macintosh professional learning program for teachers.
