GC Technology NewsiCore Technology Initiative ApprovedPosted By: Michael Sherer, IT Director, Mar 12, 2012It's official. Incoming First Year students will each get a "New iPad" as the digital foundation for the new GC Core curriculum. As IT Director for Goshen College, I'm *very* excited about this development because it puts the college on the vanguard of one of the most significant technology shifts since the advent of the PC itself. Furthermore, the iPad is still largely undefined as a pedagogical device and this puts Goshen College in a position to play a leading role in defining the iPad as a tool for teaching and learning. That's going to make GC a very exciting place to be for the next few years, for students and profs. This announcement is really just the beginning. For more information on the iCore Initiative, check out: http://www.goshen.edu/icore/ IT@GC: What you need to know...Posted By: Michael Sherer, Aug 27, 2011Technology is integral to your education here at GC. Here's a brief summary of what you need to know to make the most of it:
8 Second LoginsPosted By: Michael Sherer, Jun 10, 2010OK. Public computing facilities and departmental labs have been upgraded to Mac Mini's running Windows 7. Early returns? They're totally silent and blazing fast. Eight seconds to a working desktop and Office 2010 opens instantly. This means no waiting around at the beginning of a class or quick trip to the computer lab. People are ecstatic. Oh, and they save the college thousands of dollars per year in electricity costs. Could it get any better? Going Green on the DesktopPosted By: Michael Sherer, May 27, 2010
We're excited. GC is in the process of rolling out the coolest, greenest desktop upgrade in higher ed. This spring ITS purchased 400 Mac Mini's which will replace all desktop PC's prior to our 2008 models with power-sipping, quiet, elegant Mac Mini's. It's our green desktop standard and it runs either Mac OS X Snow Leopard or Windows 7. On the Windows 7 front, GC has arguably the most aggressive Windows 7 rollout in the region, and we're going to 64 bit Windows 7 this summer. I couldn't find another college that wasn't going to 32 bit Windows 7 as an interim step. The attraction of going to 64 bit now, is that you avoid another painful migration two years out, or the scenario where you are maintaining 32 bit and 64 bit templates. So, tip of the hat to Dan Stutzman and rest of the ITS team--they're making it work
