Using SANs and NAS
by W. Curtis PrestonData is the lifeblood of modern business, and modern data centers have extremely demanding requirements for size, speed, and reliability. Storage Area Networks (SANs) and Network Attached Storage (NAS) allow organizations to manage and back up huge file systems quickly, thereby keeping their lifeblood flowing. W. Curtis Preston's insightful book takes you through the ins and outs of building and managing large data centers using SANs and NAS. As a network administrator you're aware that multi-terabyte data stores are common and petabyte data stores are starting to appear. Given this much data, how do you ensure that it is available all the time, that access times and throughput are reasonable, and that the data can be backed up and restored in a timely manner? SANs and NAS provide solutions that help you work through these problems, with special attention to the difficulty of backing up huge data stores. This book explains the similarities and differences of SANs and NAS to help you determine which, or both, of these complementing technologies are appropriate for your network. Using SANs, for instance, is a way to share multiple devices (tape drives and disk drives) for storage, while NAS is a means for centrally storing files so they can be shared. Preston exams each technology with a vendor neutral approach, starting with the building blocks of a SAN and how they can be assembled for effective storage solutions. He covers day-to-day management and backup and recovery for both SANs and NAS in detail. Whether you're a seasoned storage administrator or a network administrator charged with taking on this role, you'll find all the information you need to make informed architecture and data management decisions. The book fans out to explore technologies such as RAID and other forms of monitoring that will help complement your data center. With an eye on the future, other technologies that might affect the architecture and management of the data center are explored. This is sure to be an essential volume in any network administrator's or storage administrator's library.

Using Technology to Support Learning and Teaching: A Practical Approach (Key Guides for Effective Teaching in Higher Education)
by Kate Exley Andy Fisher Dragos CiobanuThe climate of Higher Education is changing rapidly. The students are more likely to see themselves as consumers and have increasingly high expectations regarding teaching and learning. Universities are in part aiming to meet this need by increasing the use of technology; for example, whether to increase access to teaching materials outside the classroom or to make lectures more interactive. Although there is no illusion amongst Higher Education intuitions that technology is a panacea, it is clear that technology is a vital tool in meeting expectations and one that will be used more and more. Consequently the context of this book is one in which technology needs to be understood as part of an overall teaching practice. Technology continues to move on a pace and is used increasingly within Higher Education to support and enhance teaching and learning. There are books which are steeped in technical detail and books which are steeped in theoretical pedagogy with little discussion about the impact on learning and student/teacher behaviour. Using Technology to Support Learning and Teaching fills a gap in the market by providing a jargon free (but pedagogically informed) set of guidance for teaching practitioners who wish to consider a variety of ways in which technology can enrich their practice and the learning of their students. It integrates a wide range of example cases from different kinds of HE institutions and different academic disciplines, illustrating practicable pedagogies to a wide range of readers. It is full of advice, hints and tips for practitioners wanting to use technology to support a style of teaching and learning that is also built on sound pedagogical principles. It will provide a quick user-friendly reference for practitioners wanting to incorporate technology into Higher Education in a way that adheres to their learning principles and values . This book is primarily for teaching practitioners, particularly those who are new to the industry.This book would also prove useful on training courses for practitioners; such as the Postgraduate Certificate for Higher Education. The authors also intend that the book be of value to newer teachers (perhaps taking teacher training programmes) who wish to see where recommended approaches link to pedagogy.
Using Technology with Classroom Instruction That Works, 2nd Edition
by Howard Pitler Matt Kuhn Elizabeth R. HubbellTechnology is ubiquitous, and its potential to transform learning is immense.

What kinds of technology will best support particular learning tasks and objectives? How does a teacher ensure that technology use will enhance instruction rather than distract from it?This revised and updated second edition of that best-selling book provides fresh answers to these critical questions, taking into account the enormous technological advances that have occurred since the first edition was published, including the proliferation of social networks, mobile devices, and web-based multimedia tools. It also builds on the up-to-date research and instructional planning framework featured in the new edition of Classroom Instruction That Works, outlining the most appropriate technology applications and resources for all nine categories of effective instructional strategies.

by Dagmar GeislerFrom award-winning author Dagmar Geisler, in collaboration with illustrator Nikolai Renger, a new series for elementary school students about social-emotional learning and physical and mental health. In recent years, children of all ages—just like many adults!—from all over the world have had to shift the way they learn and work. They&’ve adapted to sitting in front of their computers or tablets instead of in a physical class with their peers. Some have thrived in this environment, while others struggle to prepare themselves for the virtual learning experience. In Using the Internet for Virtual School, best friends Madison and Luke quickly learn all about what can go wrong if they&’re not prepared for their virtual lessons when Luke&’s older brother, Tim, experiences a stressful online presentation. The laptop dies, his video files won&’t load, and possibly worst of all, he didn&’t realize an embarrassing (babyish!) poster was hanging on the wall behind him the whole time! This sours Tim&’s mood for the foreseeable future, and Madison and Luke decide to make a list of the Do&’s and Don&’ts of virtual school and presentations so they don&’t replicate Tim&’s disaster of a day when it comes time for them to join their class online. In this timely book, award-winning author Dagmar Geisler presents tips and tricks—as well as some golden rules—to help primary school students prepare for their digital lessons and presentations. This is a strong conversation-starter for adults and children and is also a practical guide.
