Visit our Web site for complete details. In past years the topics included system and network security issues, virtualization, storage solutions, mobile computing, educational uses of technology, eClassroom setup, and many other IT related topics. This year's schedule will be posted about two weeks prior to the event.
DISCUSS...IT SESSIONS
The Discuss...IT sessions provide an opportunity to chat with others who are interested in the same topic to share ideas, frustrations, and solutions. The sessions will be facilitated by someone from Ithaca College who is familiar with the issue, but the content will come from you. Topics in the past have included technology in K-12, collaboration tools, helpdesk, emergency notification systems, mobile computing, and others – if you have a suggestion for a topic for a Discuss..IT session this year, please drop us a note.
