Miami Schools Using Free Apps for Security Systems

Two schools in the Miami Unified School District are partnering with a company that makes mobile apps and cloud based sotware to provide tighter security.

The Safer Schools Campaign uses the new Presence application by People Power to recycle outdated iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches into Wi-Fi security cameras. The mini-cameras are placed in various locations around Lee Kornegay Junior High School and Charles Bejarano Elementary School to help with security monitoring.

Traditional security systems are extremely costly, but the Presence app is free, and the schools are turning to the community for donations of outdated or unused small appliances.

Another Shameless Plug

It has been a rough first week for my new Internet radio station. Technical problems caused it to frequently loop and play the same two or three songs over and over, interrupting each other.

Fortunately, the problem appears to have been resolved.

In spite of the technical problems, I had opportunities to listen and take notes. As a result, I've made significant changes to the playlist, effective today, and invite you to check it out again.
