Certificate error message last weekend

Several people reported a Security Certificate Error when trying to log in to Google Apps last weekend. This was caused by a problem with our authentication server's security certificate. There was not a real security threat, but I really appreciate people stopping and contacting IT before proceeding, so that we could determine whether somebody was trying to intercept information.

We have a workaround in place (since Sunday- thanks Zach!) and are working on a permanent solution.

Allowing YouTube videos through the Educational Video Library (EVL)

Have you ever wanted to approve certain YouTube videos so that students could watch them in class individually, instead of showing them to everyone on the big screen? Well, now you can. Introducing the Educational Video Library, which lets staff pre-approve videos from YouTube which will be viewable by students through our content filter.
