ESU 10 is hosting the Windsor VIII room at NETA 2012 and would like to invite you to consider being a host for one of the sessions on April 26 or 27.
Please visit http://sn.im/2012neta-room-host, look over the session titles, and enter your name and cell phone in the corresponding cells for the session you’d like to host. Cell phone numbers will only be used to contact you during the event. For a more complete description of each session, see http://goo.gl/ki8qj or go to http://www.netasite.org/ and click on the Search feature. Then choose Embassy, Windsor VIII in the Location drop down.
As in the past for being a room host, you’ll get a FREE NETA T-shirt, which can be picked up when you turn in the evaluations after your session. Also, NEW THIS YEAR--IN HONOR OF NETA's 25TH ANNIVERSARY- NETA IS GIVING AWAY ITUNES GIFT CARDS! EACH TIME YOU VOLUNTEER, YOUR NAME GETS PUT IN A DRAWING FOR AN ITUNES GIFT CARD!!! The more you volunteer, the more your name is entered to win.
As a room host your responsibility is to be at the room early, help the presenter pass out handouts or get set up, ask a select number of attendees to complete the evaluation and return it to you, and help with the lighting in the room. After the session take the completed evals to the NETA booth to receive your free T-shirt.
Thanks for volunteering. Room hosts are a vital part of the success of NETA. :-)

Please share this with your students, staff, and parents.
With the new Timeline look going into effect on ALL Facebook accounts on February 15, your previous Facebook privacy settings will NOT be in effect. Most everyone's account will be wide open; i.e. your info, wall, photos, etc. will be accessible by anyone with a FB account, friend or not.
The following article is a great guide to helping you understand the new privacy settings.

The ESUs of Nebraska in partnership with the Nebraska Attorney General’s Office are sponsoring an Internet Safety and Digital Citizenship Poster and Public Service Announcement (PSA) Contest for students in K-12 Schools in Nebraska.
This is a great opportunity for students to learn more about Internet safety and responsible behavior in the digital society that now pervades our world. Creating a poster, video, or audio PSA forces students to dig deeper into an aspect of digital citizenship and formalize their ideas and beliefs into an artistic and lasting format that can be shared with other students and the community.
I am always amazed at the creative and astute submissions from students of all ages.
Deadline: March 9, 2012
Send entries on the ESU 10 route or by mail to:

PO Box 850, 76 Plaza Blvd
Kearney, NE 68848
For more contest information and the entry form, visit ESU 10 Internet Safety Contest Guideline 12.pdf
Visit http://blog.esu10.org/internetsafety for more Internet safety and digital citizenship resources as well last year's winning entries from the local and state competition.
I look forward to receiving these great projects. If you have any questions, contact me at ggillmin@esu10.org or 308-865-5664, x-229

Holy Myers sent this out to the School Librarians, but I thought I would help her out and send it to other groups as well. Can you help answer her questions? Thanks!

Community - One to one computers
By Holly Myers

Hello all! We are looking at trying to go one to one with computers next school
year and we just want to feel out others to see what they are doing. Some
questions that have come up are: Does the school provide a case to each
student? Do the students and parents have to sign a waiver? What kind of
insurance do you have for the computers? Are the students allowed to take the
computers out of the building? If anyone has any advice, we would really
appreciate it. You can email me at holmyers@esu10.org
or call the school (North Loup-Scotia) at 308 245 3201 or leave your
suggestions as comments. Thanks so much for your help! :)

A collegue in Iowa (a former Nebraskan) is currently serving on her school's newly formed technology committee and is looking for examples of technology plans. Would anyone be willing to share what is being used in their school? It's a consolidated pk-12 district of approximately 1700 students, Adel-Minburn-DeSoto (not far from Des Moines). Her email address is pmelroy@adm.k12.ia.us.

I am looking for a secure website that can be used to upload videos to and then share with only a few select individuals. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
Thanks,
