Welcome
Welcome to the EON IT Project blog. EnterpriseOhio Network is a consortium of over 50 community colleges and universities across the state of Ohio. The IT project is an initiative of EON and the Ohio Board of Regents to further promote technology within the state of Ohio. On this blog you will find shortcuts, commentary and listings of upcoming events. Enjoy!
We have touched upon various Web 2.0 technologies here. In today's Inside Higher Ed is an article titled "Will Colleges Friend Facebook?"
Facebook originally had more of a student-centered following, but has recently expanded beyond that. What has been lacking is official sites for the colleges. Therefore, what one enterprising company looks to do is develop applications for colleges to create a presence on the social networking site. Inigral has developed "Schools" and has been testing it in beta form at Abilene Christian University. The application offers security to ease the schools' concerns and ability to integrate with school data to display class related information.

TSA hopes that this will decrease wait time in security.
"The bag must have a ``laptop only'' section that can unfold and lay flat on the X-ray belt, the U.S.
Transportation Security Administration said in a statement. Some bags that meet the standard can be purchased now and others will be available by mid-month, the agency said. "
