Tuesday: I am going to try to stay at my computer for part or all of the day because I am very behind on updating the web page, making some changes in PowerSchool, researching and ordering some new equipment that I need to get etc... If we have all of our little problems taken care of, we will be getting some additional computers ready to distribute to teachers who want them.

If there are snacks--like animal crackers--on the back table, you are welcome to help yourself to them. I know everybody wants a little snack during the day. You are also welcome to bring a snack into my office during your hour and eat it. Please just don't eat in the lab.

Monday: I am trying to catch up on little things that I need to get done and didn't get done last week, like changing some classes for elementary teachers in PowerSchool, ordering replacement remotes, new wiring, etc... I'm also troubleshooting problems with the new Promethian Board in Mrs. Holtmeyers room and a Mimeo in Mrs. Crawford's room.

Friday: TGIF!! Well the first week is almost over. Seemed long but probably because of all the problems we are still trying to fix. We are going to move some old pc's out of my lab and into the basement and deliver a few more and then next week we can get going on getting some others reformatted and ready for classrooms. Hope everyone has a safe and relaxing weekend.

Thursday: Well it is 3rd hour already and I've taught Mrs. Abel's 1st hour how to login and save to their J drive along with some do's and don'ts for the lab. I've gone to Mrs. Weber's room at the MS and talked to Smart Tech about her problem, then uninstalled all the SB stuff, downloaded the new and started the reinstall. Then I went to Mrs. Dixon's room at the Elem and checked her Add/Remove Programs window and uninstalled McAfee Antivirus and Norton Antivirus. We don't own these and they probably installed on their own when she visited some website or downloaded something. Having 3 antivirus programs can cause a machine to go slow as well as a bunch of toolbars in IE. Now I'm going to catch up on e-mails and see who else needs help.
