Every part of the camera arm can be angled and rotated. Multiple output options allow you to use the MX-P with almost any device – interactive dis- plays, computers, projectors and more. For Capturing Details the Human Eye Can't See The TT series has sold over a million units worldwide, and the TT-L1 showcases all of the series' best fea- tures. The TT-L1 is capable of up to 96x zoom (12x optical / 8x digital) that captures unbelievable details with no loss of image quality, like the stitching of a $100 bill. With 1080 full HD image quality that captures at 30fps, you'll experience absolutely no lag when doing manipulatives yet still be able to capture the tiniest details. The TT-L1 is also a sleeker camera than its predecessors and will take up less room on your desk, STEM Camera (Cont'd. from p. 1) which means more room for showing STEM activities. For the Most Powerful Quality and Widest Capture Area If you truly want the best quality out there, the PX-10 platform camera is the most powerful document camera to ever hit the market. With up to 288x zoom (12x optical / 12x digital / 2x sensor), the PX-10 is the closest zoom ever available on a document camera – with no loss of quality, either. With 2K image quality that is comparable to True 4K, the PX-10 produces its rich- est, most vibrant image ever. PX-10 shoots in both 4:3 and 16:9 wide screen, with a capture area up to A4 portrait and A3 landscape. The plat- form features sleek, easy-to-use touch navigation, as well as a 5-inch LCD preview monitor. Nothing will be left to the imagination because the PX-10 will reveal every detail possible.

The system provides for users to receive portal alerts, an area for uploads, and like all Focus solutions, specific user profiles for secure program access. In addition, the included Form Builder is a user friendly tool that allows districts to build, customize and maintain all forms rel- evant to the special student services process. Once forms are created, districts will have the ability to link these forms to appropriate events and event steps through the SSS set- up menu. Through Form Builder technolo- gy, each district has the opportunity to uti- Focus School Software (Cont'd. from p. 1) lize and store forms specific to their unique processes and desired workflow. The Focus SSS Form Builder valida- tion edit feature allows the district to set up validation logic for each individual form. Once validation logic is estab- lished, the interactive form will serve as a compliance guide for the end user. The Form Builder also includes features like form widgets, customizable headers and footers, a built-in calendar and more.

Here are the top four security con- cerns for our customers as they form end- to-end, IoT security strategies. How will I manage identity and access management? Humans are not the only entities subject to identity and access management (IAM) requirements. Devices and appli- cations that access network resources need to have the legitimacy of their con- nection requests verified as well as to what databases they want to connect. Any device out in the wild – whether it's a tablet or a sensor – in the wrong hands can be used to access an organiza- tion's network. Should a breach occur, fail-safes need to be put in place to con- trol and limit the damage an attacker can cause. How do I ensure my data's integrity? Data is the lifeblood of any organiza- tion. Collecting data and converting it into actionable intelligence is one of the key purposes of Internet of Things. The integrity of data is paramount, as is the need to ensure it is not manipulated while in-use, in-transit or at-rest. Also, personal data is particularly important to protect and should always be encrypted. Ericsson (Cont'd. from p. 1) How can I stay ahead if no IoT network can be 100 percent secure? Unfortunately, all stakeholders in an IoT ecosystem, including consumers and end- users, have to accept the fact that no IoT network will ever be able to achieve 100 percent security. There are simply too many potential access points and other vulnerabilities. However, this does not relieve any party of the responsibility they have to maintain security best practices. How can automation help me keep up? IoT networks and the volume of devices comprising them all require manage- ment. No human has the capacity to man- ually accomplish this, thus requiring automation and machine learning to assist that person. Providing IT teams with the tools they will need to manage a large and complex network and minimize its attack surface is critical. Any CISO knows, when it comes to an attack, it's no longer a matter of "if," but "when." Being well-prepared for an attack will go a long way to speeding the recovery process and ensuring business continuity. While it may be impossible to completely secure an IoT environment, paying attention to these four areas is a good starting point to achieving end-to- end security.

ASHA Continues to Promote Healthy Use of Popular Technology Recently, the American Speech- Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) launched the Healthy Communication & Popular Technology Initiative (www.communicationandtech.org), which encourages moderate use of popular technology. It focuses on providing practical advice to individuals and fam- ilies to develop responsible popular tech habits; conducting communication health awareness campaigns that pro- mote balanced use of popular technolo- gy; and exploring the impact of popular technology usage on healthy speech, language and hearing. These efforts are not anti-technology nor are they the first time ASHA has been a national leader in the area of safe usage of popular technology. For the next decade, ASHA encour- aged safe listening through its award- winning "Listen to Your Buds" cam- paign. Using a variety of tactics, includ- ing its safe listening concert series, which took place in elementary and middle schools across the country, the Buds campaign promoted simple preventative messages, such as keep the volume down, take listening breaks and model good listening habits. The Digital Academy and Connect2Compete By Jennifer Cobb, Product Director, Cox Communications Cox Communications is taking steps to provide broadband access to those that most need it with the Connect2Compete program. This initiative is designed for low-income families in need of internet access at home. As we've seen, broadband at home can make a big difference when it comes to education. Some homework assign- ments must be completed online, and not having access can spell a world of hurdles for a student before education can begin. During a press conference in Washington, D.C., Cox President Pat Esser announced that Cox is expanding its commitment to bridge the digital divide with a pledge of $20 million annually. Furthermore, the recent survey (Families Report Internet At Home Results In Higher Grades And Improved Graduation Readiness, Cox Raises Commitment To Bridge Digital Divide With $20 Million Pledge) of more than 1,700 Connect2Compete participants shows that our program is working. Parents agree that Connect2Compete: makes it easier to communicate with teachers and the school (95 percent); sets children up for success (94 percent); makes chil- dren more interested in school work (88 percent); and the con- venience of having internet access at home is among the greatest ben- efits (97 percent). Building basic digital literacy skills is key if students want to compete in the job market. To help first-time internet users, Cox Communications offers free digital literacy training and resources through the Cox Digital Academy. These programs are designed to empower low-income fami- lies to build the educational, economic and social opportunities that can arise from a home internet connection. Building for a Future Looking forward, Cox has already sur- passed a significant program mile- stone and is expanding its commit- ment. To date, more than 400,000 people have been connected to the internet via the Connect2Compete program. Cox has offered a low-income internet program for nearly two decades. Through its public-private partnerships and a dedicated focus across the entire Cox organization, the company continues to lead the way in closing the digital divide in the communities it serves. As we move forward in the 21st century, we are continually looking for ways to inno- vate and provide a leg up to those that need it most in the digital age.
