It's not too late to join WiscNet for a special WiscNet Community Conversation: Connecting People & Strategies in Strange Times next week, May 5 from 10:00-11:00am.

Normally WiscNet Community Conversations bring WiscNet to you as they travel around the state to different areas and help WiscNet members connect to one another locally. Obviously they can't do that right now, so they're Zooming at you instead.

Partaking in a panel discussion will be a few of your wonderful WiscNet Board Members: 

• Brian Casey from Stevens Point Area Public School District
• Tom Lange from Chippewa Valley Technical College
• Sarah Lipke from CESA 10
• August Neverman from Brown County

They'll discuss what’s working for them right now, and what’s not; how they’re connecting with their communities and improvements to be made; and how they’re reaching out to students, staff, and/or citizens that are most disengaged/vulnerable. We’ll also pick their brains about the future: how will they take what they’re learning now and apply it when this happens again?

There will also be time for you to share your own situations, experiences, expertise, and lessons already learned as well as ask questions of each other.

RSVP on WiscNet's website to join.

Teach and Learn with WiscNet: Filtering - Appleton
Thursday, September 26, 2019,  9:30 AM to 12:00 PM
Appleton Public Library

Love them or hate them, nearly everyone needs a filter on their network. And with so many options on the market – not to mention different solutions, features, pros and cons – there's a lot to learn and know.

Join Heidi and Felicia from WiscNet to talk and listen about all things filtering. (Please pass this on to anyone else in your organization who may also be interested!) They'll make time for the important stuff, and together we'll access the deep value of what it means to be a WiscNet member: teaching, learning from, connecting to one another.

It's not too late to join WiscNet in Waukesha for a WiscNet Community Conversation: Listening Session on Security.

• What does “security” mean and look like in your organization?
• Where are you at on your security journey?
• What problems are you trying to solve?
• What do you still need to learn

​Steve Schlomann from the School District of Waukesha will share some of his answers to these questions. Attendees will have the chance to listen and learn from each other's experiences, successes, pain points, and wishlists. In addition, they’ll walk through some exercises from the design thinking process to explore together ideas about security, and what steps you might take next.

RSVP here to join WiscNet at Room 129 in the School District of Waukesha at 222 Maple Avenue from 9:30am-12:00pm to be part of the discussion on security.
