I finally figured out how to auto-boot an iMac as a Thin Client to Ubuntu. The Open Firmware commands are:

setenv boot-device enet:"ip of LTSP server",yaboot (without the quotes)

Now it auto boots as a thin client whenever it is started up, there's one more thing off my to figure out list.

I'm going to be giving a Poster Presentation at the WOW conference about Thin-Clients. It's a technology education has to be looking at considering what Web 2.0 allows to do using just a browser and the realities of budgetary constraints on education. Passing Bonds are not a reliable or stable funding source for technology.

This is a long overdue post that I wanted to get up to my blog. It comes from attending a previous NECC and talks about some of the ideas that I came across that have directed my professional development efforts over the last year or so.

In between sessions I went to the Poster Gallery where they had people with poster/computer displays about varying topics. I went by several that had to do with professional development and had to share some of the great ideas that are coming out about creative technology staff development options.
