Josh forgot to hit record, and realized it after recording 33min of award winning podcast material. What you will hear is our second try for the night, and no where near as good. We talk about the potential for new "CARES money," filing Erate 471's and what first steps you should take to lock down Windows workstations.

Cory flaked on us at the last second today, so we recruited Jason to join us. He is at a district with 17,000 students and he talks about his really cool VDI setup as well as the struggles they have with virtual learning. We also discuss the new Erate deadlines that were announced 12/23/2020, and how Esports and CTF/CyberPatriot events give students another avenue to compete against their peers.
