Abilene Paradox - people do things as a group they would not do as individuals.
Stockdale Paradox - it was the optimists who died in war prisons - we must never confuse our faith that we will prevail in the end with the brutal facts we are faced with in reality.

Stuart Elliot whitepaper "Projecting Impact of Computers on Work in 2030" - workforce skills for 2030 - language, vision, reasoning, movement - speaker is talking about a PC that will do this.

Wireless with Erate. Networking, etc.
Be sure if you pay for installation of cable, specify that all cables are labeled! Document the wiring in addition to labeling.
DIS can help spec out cable jobs, determine quality of job.
Switches - Managed is ideal
Stack-type switches are generally well-to-do in schools. Most stacked switches have a proprietary cable for the back to perform stacking without taking up ports on the front.
In managed environment, you can view stats on the switch and find problem areas on your network. Also can look at your configuration of ports - speed, up/down, duplex, etc. Can also use command line interface to see information.
Layer 2 - 1 large flat network with one broadcast domain
Layer 3 - divide your network into smaller broadcast domains, ability to subnet IP's and manage multiple gateways (like what Doug /jeff?/ is doing on his network).
Power over Ethernet - used mainly to power remote devices (IP Phones, WAPs, Cameras, etc).
Building to Building connections
--Fiber is best
--Wireless bridging
--Copper (direct connect is bad choice because of electrical issues)
New Building
--Get Network Infrastructure in the plans early
--Wiring closets
--Switch infrastructure
--Cabling ducts
--Wiring Infrastructure
--Cheaper to build into plan than to add later
Refer to Arkansas Utilities Commission requirements for space requirements, ventilation, etc.
