Case Study: Freedom Area School District's Virtualized Back-up Plan

But there always seems to be something that needs to be fixed or some project that needs to be kept on schedule. We are getting younger teachers here who want to use technology such as laptops, projectors and smart boards, but get frustrated because there is not enough technical support available for them. At times it can feel like a dam springing holes and I am plugging them with all my fingers and toes.

The best technology should just work--whether it is the computers on which our kids and teachers work, or the backup system that protects them. That way, we as IT managers can focus more time and effort on helping people do their jobs better, which ultimately produces a better learning environment.
