Before going mobile, make sure you can manage the devices
The usage of mobile technology in the school now is cant be avoided. As many
students and techers too, using mobile device not only for communication tools but also a
device to help them study. Mobile technology is not something to aware, but the school
management must have a carefully plan. David Mendez, information system coordinator at
Life Schools in southern Dallas, use Kaseya, IT systems management software that allows
monitoring from just one central location, without involment of the third-party.
Life School is a public charter school system, developed by Tom Wilson, a former
pastor who saw too many kids go by the wayside. Life School is known for its innovative
curriculum, character development, and parental involvement. Character development in this
school is developing by its extracurricular activity, and teachable moments. Parental
involvement means the parents enroll with their children through parent-teacher conferences.
Parents have to earn parent point throughout the year, and have to have a certain amount by
the end of the year. So the schools allows for 24/7 access to information.
Mendez said the system, run more like a large district than a company like other
charter systems, has a superintendent devoted to technology integration, even in the
struggling economy. We know how important education technology is for students, so they
can get the most out of their learning, get engaged, and have access on-the-go. We dont want
students to have a large transition from home to schoolwe want it to be seamless, he said.
Mendez described how his system incorporates SMART boards, Discovery Education
streaming, and soon Microsofts Live@edua suite of mobile, desktop, and web-based
applications that allows students, staff, faculty, and alumni to collaborate on campuses and
create a community.
But before Life Schools can allow all students and faculty to have access to mobile
devices, its important to have the infrastructure in place, says Mendez. The school need to
test thing like how the network responds to multiple systems, how to get everyone the latest
patches, and what filter systems keep our environment safe while allowing for unhindered
access. Currently, about 50 percent of administrators (roughly 150 to 200) are using their own
mobile devices while connected to Life Schools resources and software, such as grade
books, portals, eMail, and moremeaning that the IT department, which currently uses
Aruba for wireless, needed a bigger pipeline, as well as a way to set policy and procedure

updates more easily. To help speed up the beta testing and allow the IT systems team to take a
proactive approach to implementation, Life Schools chose Kaseya to ease the burdens.Using
its allotted technology funding, the charter system is using Kaseya to help manage mobile
devices. Kaseya automates the entire management process, by providing reports, monitoring
the health of each machine, applying patches, and monitoring securityand all of this from
any location through a web-based interface. Kaseya also handles all software, meaning no
third, fourth, or fifth party is needed. By using Kaseya, the IT team dont have to interrupt the
class and ask teacher when a good time to fix the device, they just file an online ticket to
teacher and they are done. Mendez hopes that in the future, students will have their digital
lockers, or secure online file storage systems. After that, its time for mobile student devices.
