Any administrator or parent in this school system will tell you that safety for the children is paramount. When a safe environment is achieved, children are free to learn and explore. Let's hear from Avers own Shop Talk on how easy it is to use their PTZ cameras as a simple security solution for your classroom. Hi. Did you know it's easy to set up your PTZ camera as an example, the d l thirty to record your classroom movements or to use it as a simplified security camera. So if you're using your d l thirty in a p t z management software, let me show you how to set that up. So once you've launched the p t z management software, This is what you're going to see. I have this connected using the ethernet cable, which is going to be an important process. So be sure to have this connected using the ethernet cable. Once you've done that, you could go to management. Under management, you see that we have cruise, we have recording, system notifications, firmware update and scheduling. The two that we're going to take a look at is cruise and recording. Now cruise means that wherever your presets are, example, preset number one is going to be the front window, preset number two is going to be the the door, preset number three is going to be the teacher desk. Those are the presets that the camera is going to cruise to. So hopefully that made sense. So what we end up doing is right here where you see the three dots, you click on that, And as you can see, I have go to preset number two and time for five seconds. Pre set number four is gonna stay there for three So you could go ahead and select and include as many presets as you want. Once you've done that, click save. And then you want to go ahead and click enable. So once you've done enable, click save again, and then you come to recording This is gonna be also very important. If you wanna put this in a specific folder or an ex external hard drive, be sure to click the three dots right here. And select where you want the recording to be saved. For me, I'm using the video folder on my c drive. K. And then once we've done that, we just go ahead and select enable and click save. Soon as we do that, it begins recording. So it'll go to preset number four, for three seconds, preset number two, for five seconds, or whatever you have that Now when you're finished doing that, you could go ahead and come back to where it says cruise, and go ahead and click disable, save, recording, and we want to be sure to disable it right there and click save. Now we can now go ahead and take a look in our folder for the recordings that we have. So let's go ahead and take a look here. As I mentioned, I have mine on the c drive, and it is in the video folder. So I've come to where it says videos, and I have it specifically in the PTC management recordings. Double click on that. Here's my folder, and here are the recordings or the recording, depends on how many times you've done that. So double click here. And this shows the actual recording. And there you go. This is what has just been recorded. I'm gonna go ahead and stop that. And as you can see, you can use this for a simplified security camera in your classroom if you would like to do so. Thanks for watching. If you have any questions, Please let me know. My name is Chuck Tuck. You can reach out to me directly at Chuck period Tuck. That's t like Tom, u c k at aver dot com. Until next time. Thanks for watching.

Schools are still catching up after Google opened Gemini to every student

Schools are still catching up after Google opened Gemini to every student

Google has made its Gemini chatbot available to all students, and Education Week reports schools were caught flat-footed, with open questions about age-appropriate use. Districts now have to decide which Gemini path they run and who supervises first use. The consequence lands on district technology directors and classroom teachers this fall.

  • 01Gemini reaches a school two ways: the free app (data protection for users 13 and older) and Gemini for Google Workspace inside Gmail, Docs and Slides, with Gemini Advanced for users over 18. A district policy has to cover both.
  • 02Guided Learning, the step-by-step mode inside Gemini, is the feature that bears most directly on the cheating-versus-learning question, and Fast Company noted it is similar to the Study mode OpenAI had announced in ChatGPT the week before.
  • 03The sharper question for a district tech lead is no longer whether students can reach a chatbot; it is which mode they land in and who is standing behind them the first time.

OpenAI says GPT-6 Astra is the first model to hit its 'Critical' cyber threshold

OpenAI says GPT-6 Astra is the first model to hit its 'Critical' cyber threshold

OpenAI has unveiled GPT-6 Astra and says it is the first model to reach the "Critical" cybersecurity tier of its Preparedness Framework, Campus Technology reported Sept. 10. The label is the vendor's own. Campus and district IT leaders now weigh it alongside Microsoft's legally enforceable AI data protections, open to all districts Nov. 1.

  • 01A frontier vendor is now publishing its own capability tier alongside a broadly deployed release, which gives procurement a sharper question to ask every AI supplier: which tier, and what mitigations come with it.
  • 02Microsoft's legally enforceable student and teacher data protections open to every U.S. district on Nov. 1, a concrete reference point for anyone negotiating AI contract terms with other vendors this fall.
  • 03OpenAI's Navier-Stokes claim and Anthropic's formal-proof work are, as reported, vendor claims; independent verification is the signal that would turn either into a result.

Morgan State won Maryland's first public AI degree in months by building it first

Morgan State won Maryland's first public AI degree in months by building it first

Morgan State University launched Maryland's first public AI bachelor's degree by converting an existing cloud computing program into a full AI curriculum, completing the regulatory approval in months rather than years. The program prioritizes foundational computer science alongside AI-specific coursework and hands-on reinforcement learning projects, positioning graduates to design and extend AI models rather than simply use them.

  • 01Morgan State built 18 AI courses and embedded 8 completed projects into the curriculum before formally proposing the degree, enabling regulatory approval in days once evidence of the running program was presented.
  • 02Every student learns classical programming and data structures first, then progresses through problem-based courses scaled by difficulty level, culminating in a capstone with no lectures where the instructor acts as support.
  • 03The program emphasizes reasoning grounded in reinforcement learning and the Markov decision process rather than statistical analysis alone, preparing students to extend AI models and control technology instead of being directed by it.
