Macon—The number of hybrid students (students taking some classes online) in Macon is growing, giving students more flexibility to accommodate family, jobs, and other personal issues.
Pictured are hybrid students (front row) Ashley Smathers, Kim Bostic, (back row) Tiquilla Spivey, Arielle Carroll and Campus Online Coordinator Megan Black. These students have developed time management and self–discipline skills to excel in their online classes as well as in the classroom.
Jackson—How can learning about computer security made to be fun? The Jackson Network Engineering students recently developed a "privacy monitor" using a pair of surgical goggles and a monitor that's viewable only by the person wearing the goggles.
Students removed the polarized screen from an LCD monitor, separating the polarized portion from the anti–glare matte film. Then they took the polarized film with the antiglare removed and retrofitted this to a pair of goggles. The result: a fully functional computer monitor that keeps prying eyes from seeing secure information.
Charleston—Therapeutic Massage students recently contributed their time for the Turkey Day Run at Marion Square Park in downtown Charleston. Kids visiting the booth received hand massages and the runners received services and coupons.
Richmond— Twenty–eight new members of Alpha Beta Kappa were tapped recently, the inaugural group of members for the new Virginia College campus. According to the website, Alpha Beta Kappa is the premier national honor society for America's private, postsecondary schools, institutes, colleges and universities. The purpose of the Society is to encourage and recognize superior student academic achievement, character, and leadership.
To be eligible for the Richmond chapter, students must have a cumulative 3.75 GPA and be within two terms of graduation.
Augusta— Students, staff, and faculty donated items to fill 86 shoeboxes for adults and children for a community Christmas project called ABC (Augusta Boxes for Christmas). Items were boxed and wrapped at a party complete with cookies, hot chocolate, and holiday music provided by IT Manager Phil Hadley. Fourth–graders at the Immaculate Conception school in downtown Augusta handmade Christmas cards to fill the boxes.
The shoeboxes were delivered to three local agencies: the Fisher House (guest residence for families of injured military members); the Jeffrey Chavis House (guest residence for families of burn survivors being treated at the Joseph M. Still Burn Center at Doctors Hospital); and the CSRA Economic Opportunity Authority, which places homeless families into shelters and temporary housing in 14 Georgia counties.
Also in Augusta, Medical Office Management student Natasha Miller and other Virginia College students recently teamed up with the Team Lean weight–loss competition at the YMCA in downtown Augusta. Read the story in the online edition of the Augusta Chronicle.
ATLANTA – Jan. 21, 2014 – AirWatch®, the largest Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) provider, announces the launch of Teacher Tools to empower teachers to manage mobile devices in the classroom. The application allows teachers to guide the learning experience effectively and improve classroom management, with features including All Eyes Up Front, Single Application Mode and Clear Passcode in an intuitive user interface.
As part of AirWatch for Education, Teacher Tools enables educational institutions to extend the real-time management capabilities used by IT administrators to teachers in a simplified interface. AirWatch’s multi-tenant architecture allows for simple management across students, classrooms, schools and districts. Teachers can associate each student with the assigned device and manage devices for different classes, groups of students or individuals.
The All Eyes Up Front feature helps teachers to orchestrate the classroom by locking devices during whole class instruction to ensure students are paying attention to the instructor and to remove device distractions. Single Application Mode supports the movement towards the flipped classroom by providing teachers with the opportunity to lock a student or a small group of students into an application selected by the instructor for a specified amount of time. The Clear Passcode function allows instruction to continue by enabling teachers to instantly clear and reset a passcode without having to lookup the device serial number.
“We are working with educators around the world to continually develop solutions that support the transformation of education,” said Preston Winn, director of business development for education, AirWatch. “We developed Teacher Tools to help ensure mobile devices become a powerful resource for educators instead of a hurdle for teachers. We are excited to be part of an ecosystem that is changing education worldwide. Our goal is that technology will fade into the background so that teaching and learning stay front and center.”
Teacher Tools is available on Apple iOS devices and joins AirWatch’s suite of tools for educational institutions. AirWatch Secure Content Locker™ distributes sensitive files, such as a textbook, syllabus or legacy content, to student and faculty devices. With the AirWatch Browser, IT administrators and teachers can whitelist or blacklist websites, ensuring students navigate only to approved sites, whether over cellular or Wi-Fi networks. AirWatch is committed to the education industry and has an education-specific research and development team to ensure the latest mobile technologies are utilized for schools.
