I hope one day we can ALL log into an internet and have a safe, secure ability to prove who you are while engaging in conversation, learning or commerce.
So what was all the fuss over CALEA forcing colleges and libraries to comply with FBI wiretapping guidelines? Outside of Cisco registering its biggest sales quarter in history, the lawsuits did not appear to be valid. But American University has stopped offering public internet access in their library.
Could the US Government actually force all colleges and libraries to upgrade network equipment to permit wiretapping?  Impractical to say the least. Did I miss the the CALEA upgrade from Cisco?

The time is now…and I’m not planning to fail to teach the impact of Linux. There have been many opportunities for me to gain a deeper understanding of the open source movement tied directly to the implications by major companies around the globe.
Companies must not only embrace this but develop, invest and rethink business as a result of this movement. Education is no exception . Ubuntu is hot right now.

Due to my Internet2 session I missed Moodle: facilitating communities of learners. Martin Dougiamas, founder and lead developer of Moodle was broadcast over the internet via Skype from Perth Australia to Madison. My team from MIAD enjoyed the session and we look for positive tasks for the summer.

The annual Internet2 K20 WorkGroup meeting was my first opportunity to share my learning and experiences as co-chair with Dan Gross. This has been a great opportunity to learn and engage educators and professional staff from around the state in furthering the awareness of Internet2 and the power it can deliver into the classroom.
We are looking to continue the momentum built in 2006/07 and will be pushing to establish exciting content for the upcoming Internet2 Day in Madison December 3rd 2007.
