Friday:  Everyone should be finished with their cleaning at the elementary by Monday probably.  When you finished, please go to the MS computer lab and work on converting those machines over to the new network login.  You will run the profile wizzard on bms.  Please test Type to Learn 4 on the first couple of machines you do so we can be sure that it still works.  They will be very unhappy with us if it does not.  I do not know exactly when the lab is open but you can stop by to see and if you can't get on at least one or two machines, just come back to the office.  I will move the air compressor to the MS on Wednesday and make a list for you there.

Another thing you can do is go back to the HS classrooms that you were assigned and clean the LCD projector air filters.  There is canned air in my office that you can use.  We MUST get all the LCD's clean because they really stop working from dust--more so than the computers.

Remember I'll be gone on Monday and Tuesday.  Please stop by the office and see if they have problems you need to work on before you leave the building.  I can be reached by cell at any time.  Be good!

have a good weekend and week.

Thursday:  I have moved the air compressor over to the elementary and taped a sheet of paper to the cart with your assigned rooms.  A few of them have specific days you should go because the school is having an assembly and the rooms will be empty that day.  Please do a good job.  We only do this once a year.

I will be gone on Monday and Tuesday to a PowerSchool conference.  I can be reached by cell.  I intend on you cleaning PC's on those days.  If you finish early, please go back to those rooms and clean the LCD projector air filters.  The best thing to do is look on-line at the directions.  I'll try to print those off before I leave and leave them in the office.

Blogger has changed it's interface and I'm not sure I'm liking it yet.  Oh well, have a great day.

Tuesday:  I did not post yesterday because I was gone and away from a computer all day.  I went to SLU on a college visit with my son.  It was a beautiful campus.

Please blog about what you did yesterday and today in today's post.  We are into cleaning right now and it seems to be moving along.  As soon as Devun and Caleb get back, it will move even quicker.  Two more days here and we should be moving elsewhere.  Have a good week.

Monday: I did not blog on Friday--you have a day off from Blogging.

Today I am gone to a college visit with my son. I think I have talked to everyone about the cleaning of computers. If by chance you get finished and have time to do something else, there is a computer on the counter from the MS that needs to be fixed and the student computer in the office needs to be put on the new network as well as the one in Mrs. Henderson's room closest to the doorway. Text me if you need anything. I'll be in St. Louis.

Wednesday: We are just about ready for EOC tests. A few more machines will need to be prepared for backups. YaY!

I will not be here on Thursday. I have a meeting in Columbia all day. I know several of you will be gone and we don't have 1st and 6th hours. I will leave a note on the back computer and a copy or two laying around with what I want everyone to do.

You can text me if you have any questions. Be good!

Tuesday: No need to blog today. I know almost everyone is gone for science testing or track. The 3 students I have left do not have to blog either. Have a good day.

Monday: Progress is being made! I finished my technology plan and got it uploaded on Friday. I think the MS lab will be finished today. We still need to finish Mrs. Mitchell's room this week and the library. I know a bunch of you will be gone Tuesday and a few more on Friday so we need to work hard when you are here. It has been a busy Spring.

Have a great week.

Friday: TGIF! I have new directions for installing iTester on pc's. We still have to finish the library and Mitchell's classrooms and do the entire MS lab. :(

I am leaving at noon for a meeting. 6th & 7th hours you are to work on the library and mitchell's rooms and see what you can get done.

Have a good weekend.

Thursday: I have the HS computer lab reserved for us most of the day so that we can get it ready for EOC testing. We do have an additional little program to run on it so that bhs has rights to the iTester program. I will be telling you about it today. We will also have to do this in Mrs. Mitchell's room and in the library. yippee!! the fun never ends. But I do know that our staff truly appreciates the work you all do as well as myself. Thank you!

Wednesday: I am so frustrated with the technology plan process. The on-line tool I have to enter it into is impossible to use. FRUSTRATION!

Progress is being made in getting iTester on all the machines but we are having trouble with accessing it from the bhs login. That will hopefully be worked out today. If not, we will be logging in as setup for all the student machines during testing.

We will also start cleaning pc's here shortly--as soon as the iTester if finished. More to come later on that topic.

Tuesday: I hope everyone had a restful 4-day weekend. I enjoyed my daughter being home from college and relaxing over the weekend.

Our goal this week will be to get the 3 HS and 1 MS lab ready for EOC testing. I'll have directions ready some time today.

Have a great day!

Thursday: Andrew from CMCS should be here this morning to work on a few issues that I have. I'll be sending you all to work in labs most likely today to get things moving in there for the conversion to finish up soon.

I hope everyone has a great Easter break.

Tuesday: I am concentrating on my census of technology today because it is due next week. My next thing is the technology plan that is due next week and I have not started on updating yet. (sad face)

My goal for all of you is to get a few odds and ends converted at the MS and then to concentrate on the HS labs. We need to do Ms. Mitchell's, Ms. Buschjost's, the library, and the HS lab all before EOC testing starting April 17.

Have a good day.

Monday: I hope everyone had a good weekend. I spent mine at my son's baseball tournament and got a little too sunburned.

we are going to work on getting the HS labs updated this week and getting them ready for EOC testing. That will take quite a while.

Have a good week.
