[ED-TECH] Closing Ed-Tech mailing list

I retire this week so I am closing down the Ed-Tech mailing list. If you are interested in my ongoing thoughts, please check out https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fvilberg.com&data=02%7C01%7CED-TECH%40LISTSERV.MIAMI.EDU%7C13f08885e33d499414f908d5ba9dbd15%7C2a144b72f23942d48c0e6f0f17c48e33%7C0%7C1%7C636620109004456330&sdata=22aZ5rOnLRECyC9D8Urj9Ie%2BBRP1hIbLME2vStXEnVY%3D&reserved=0 where I have my blog.

[ED-TECH] Retirement celebration

Dear Friends,

UMIT is preparing a celebration for my retirement. The event is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, May 8, 2018, 3-5 pm, in the Shalala Student Center, Room 306. I realize that this is at the end of finals and that you are terribly busy but I would certainly be honored having you there if you can drop by. If you come, please tell me your name. I know so many of you through email but have never had the honor of meeting you in person. It is late, but it would still be great to put a face with the name. 

It has been my honor to work with you and the other wonderful people at the University of Miami. My miami.edu email address will disappear, so feel free to update your contacts with my personal address, bill.vilberg@gmail.com, and feel free to use it if I can be of any assistance at any time, or you just want to make contact. I hope to keep posting on my http://vilberg.com blog if you want to know what I am thinking about or doing.

[ED-TECH] Was this "Runes" post too risky?

Dear friends,

I wrote a blog post over the weekend, "I Cast the Runes Today for My Retirement." So some people privately counseled me that I might have included a "trigger warning" notice. Talking about casting runes and horoscopes is not something that is done by someone with an educated mind with a scientific background. I hope that I explained, and demonstrated, how I use runes to help me see a situation from a different perspective and discover things in it that I have been missing. But I would love some feedback on what you think. Should I have kept this to myself, or was sharing it appropriate and perhaps helpful? Let me know, please.

[ED-TECH] Use Pulse Secure to access UM computer desktops from off campus

Do you connect to a computer desktop at UM from a computer at home or otherwise off-campus? Perhaps you use Microsoft Remote Desktop, or Chrome Remote Desktop, or Apple Remote Desktop (Back to My Mac). If so, install and use the Pulse Secure application before making your connection from off-campus. On Thursday, March 15, 2018, around 6 pm, direct access will be blocked and only access over Pulse Secure will be allowed. Pulse Secure is available for most operating systems including mobile. Go to http://miami.edu/vpn for details on the Pulse Secure virtual private network software that UM uses.

EXAMPLE: If a faculty member is currently connecting from a home computer to a desktop computer in the office at UM using Chrome Remote Desktop, all that is needed is Chrome Remote Desktop on the home computer and on the desktop computer in the office at UM. After the change in our network, Chrome Remote Desktop will be blocked. To get it to work again, install the Pulse Secure application on the home computer (see http://miami.edu/vpn for details) and use it to connect to UM, logging in with CaneID credentials. Then run Chrome Remote Desktop on the home computer and it should be able to make a successful connection.

An official notice will be sent out from UMIT. This is my understanding of what is happening. I apologize in advance if anything is incorrect. I will be glad to answer any questions I can or get answers to questions I can't handle myself.

Have a great spring break!

[ED-TECH] The Octothorpe

Dear friends,

Did you know the official name of the "#" character is not "pound" or "number sign" or "hashtag," it is "octothorpe"? Read more at http://vilberg.com

[ED-TECH] Brain dump

Mailing list members,

I was asked to "share my wisdom" with my cohorts as I prepare for retirement. Thus I am blogging/journaling every few days about something I think might be interesting or helpful to the people I work with and others doing my type of support work. 

If you would like to follow my blog, go to http://vilberg.com every so often. Earlier posts on the blog were mainly about technology that I used. Current posts are about my personal motivation and guidelines. Enjoy or ignore as you see fit.
