- The Real Skinny About BYOD:

Many schools considering a Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) program struggle with the question of how to control devices Cheap Arizona Cardinals Hoodies , including ensuring that every machine has an up-to-date anti-malware program and software in support of curriculum needs. Although these are well-grounded concerns, approaching the solutions can be inconvenient, lead to large expenses, and ultimately limit the devices that students are able to bring.

Early in the Academy's BYOD program, we determined that we wanted to be as flexible as possible, following the "AAAA" idea: Anyone Cheap Arizona Cardinals Shirts , Anywhere, Anytime, Any Computer. In order to truly achieve this goal, we implemented a system in which student machines work as-is, without school-provided tech support or any additional software. With the addition of tablet devices for the 2013-14 academic year, we have truly achieved this goal.

So how does Harrisburg Academy manage the BYOD program without extra controls that other schools may feel they need to manage student machines?

Last year Cheap Arizona Cardinals Jerseys , we began driving all computer work and programs that students utilize to the Internet. With nearly everything a student may access on the web, there is little need to directly access internal resources. For those few internal resources students do access, Harrisburg Academy has a private cloud that can be accessed from anywhere through a web interface. These resources include NetClassroom, Moodle, and printing. As the need for student access to internal resources decreased, we built a network specifically for students Cheap Cardinals Hats , which allows them to connect to a filtered, high-speed Internet connection via their device's Wi-Fi.

Finally, we trust our students. Students are expected to maintain their machines properly and ensure that they are working and fully charged every day. With four successful years of the BYOD program, we can confirm that this method works. Students take responsibility for their machines and rarely have we had student-computer issues.

The savings, both in time and dollars, realized with our student BYOD computing environment has enabled us to focus our efforts on common resources Cheap Cardinals Hoodies , like network speed and availability, improved printing environments, and enhancements to common web-based interfaces and services.

- A Blueprint for the Academy's Future:

In creating the model for our strategic planning, the administration made a few key decisions. First, we endeavored to engage our entire school community in the process. This approach allows all Academy community stakeholders, as well as friends of the Academy Cheap Cardinals Shirts , to provide feedback. We also decided to shorten the strategic planning timeline from five years to just three. This allows the Academy to more quickly adapt and react to the rapidly changing educational world in which we function.

At the core of the strategic planning process is our Planning Committee, made up of trustees, parents, faculty, and administrators. This group attends each of the strategic planning meetings and engages in the many group conversations that generate a whole host of innovative ideas and suggestions.

Our first few strategic planning meetings have resulted in thought-provoking conversations and creative ideas. Each week the dynamics are different, as new parents and community members join the discussion. By using one broad question each week Cheap Cardinals Jerseys , the meetings become our own Academy "think tank," as multiple groups wrestle with the same question but come up with radically different feedback. The five guiding questions used in our strategic planning model are as follows:

How do we achieve the long term enrollment goals at the Academy?
What internal improvements and partnerships with other organizations (including global ones) can be made to the academic, extracurricular, and co-curricular programs to provide an experience of excellence for our students?

MANILA, June 30 (Xinhua) -- Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte entered the second year in office on Friday after having laid a foundation for a prosperous Philippines with a population of over 100 million people.

"The first 12 months of the Duterte administration has been an extraordinary year - highly audacious Cheap Frostee Rucker Jersey , very productive and marked by political will, making the nation the real winner," Duterte's office said in a statement.

Duterte, who hails from Davao City, took office on June 30 last year to become the first president of the country who comes from the southern Philippines.

As he entered in his second year in office, the statement said Duterte "has laid the foundation to sustain current successes and transform the Philippines to a prosperous Cheap Jared Veldheer Jersey , predominantly middle class society."

The statement said Duterte introduced several anti-poverty initiatives, including the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2017-2022, a blueprint for the country's development.

Under the Duterte administration, the Philippine economy registered three quarters of economic expansion.

"Gross domestic product (GDP) posted a 6.4-percent growth in the first quarter of 2017, making the country one of the strongest performers among major emerging economies in Asia," the statement said.

It added that foreign direct investments (FDI) registered 1.6 billion U.S. dollars in net inflows in the first quarter of 2017 Cheap Corey Peters Jersey , 16.6 percent higher than in the same period last year. "This signifies investors' confidence in the country's leadership," it said.

To sustain the country's growth momentum, the Duterte administration launched the Build-Build-Build Infrastructure Plan that could usher the country in a "Golden Age of Infrastructure."
