New Resource Scheduler Online is Up & Running
The 4D Development team is pleased to announce that the new Resource Scheduler Online is now available for use. To access it, simply point your browser to http://resource.aea11.k12.ia.us. Detailed documentation for the new system may be found at http://resource.aea11.k12.ia.us/docs/rshelp.htm. You may use your current PeopleBox username and password to log into the new system.
The new web-based system provides virtually all the functionality of the old 4D system with some valuable new features. Now you can reserve equipment with your room reservations, search to find rooms with specific equipment, reserve multiple rooms for the same day and time, and more. Take it for a spin, we think you will enjoy the new fast, friendly interface.
If you have questions or comments, please contact Sean Boyle at ext. 14319, Maureen Whited at ext. 14533 or Lori Thelen at ext. 14669.

Last Chance to Save on Microsoft Products for Personal Use
Note: This applies ONLY to Microsoft Office for home and personal use. Current school pricing is NOT changing.
The Iowa Educators Consortium (IEC), in partnership with Microsoft and JourneyEd, has provided K-12 students, faculty and staff with personal discounts on Microsoft Office and Windows software. (Example: Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010, retail $499, IEC price $89.95). These discounts have been significantly less than what you’d find in retail stores.
Microsoft will be discontinuing the current program effective March 23, 2012. It will be replaced with more expensive home versions of Office software.
Order today to ensure you get the best price possible. Orders can be placed online by going to http://www.JourneyEd.com/Select.
