<h3>Fiske</h3>
Wed 1/10 for 5:00
<ul>
	<li>Kathy Palmer was at the school today, working on the newsletter.  She sends greetings to CUIP.</li>
	<li>The big bulletin board on 1st floor now documents the field trip the Honor Roll students made to the Smart Museum in December.  On display are pictures of them on the tour, with selected paintings or art objects, together with essays they wrote about those selections.  The photos also show them at the Seven-Ten for lunch, bowling, and pool!</li>
	<li>Library: Mrs Richards hasn't been doing anything with AR, wants to drop
it.  The two computers in the side area, used primarily for AR, have been
moved into lab 302, and she's ready to also give up the Dell connected to
the big TV monitor</li>
	<li>The Follett programs were not working.  They connect to the older server, Fiske-srv01, which was not delivering its shares.  It was not
offline or stuck, and responded to ping and Remote Desktop; I restarted the Server service and it seemed to be okay.</li>
	<li>I worked with Wilbert Miller and Ms Linda Webster from Hearst Elementary on setting up the Fiske student and class data sheet to import
into the M.A.P. assessment tool they are getting started with.</li>
	<li>Background: This system is being adopted at Hearst, where the Principal is Mr. R. Miller, spouse of Fiske's Principal, Mrs. C. Miller.
(Hearst may also be where our friend Eleanora Nickerson is AP.)  So Hearst invited Fiske to join in trying this system; last week Julie B. (nee
Kolkmeyer) went over to Hearst for a demo.  Today at Fiske the principal brought in a sub take Wilbert's classes and free him up all day to work on MAP; and Ms Webster from Hearst came to help.  She is a good resource for info on getting into the MAP system, but Hearst is only a couple of steps ahead of Fiske on this.</li>
	<li>We concentrated on setting up the 25-column spreadsheet the company
expects the school to upload to get the student/class registrations
entered.  We worked from the Athena and AR listings from the Library
Department macros, combining the columns that used preferred formats.</li>
	<li>We completed that student data spreadsheet, but could not upload to
complete the enrollment.  The company does have Fiske on the books but did
not yet have Wilbert Miller in the system with a school-admin account and
password.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Leadership</h3>
<ul>
	<li>(with Russ and group) Wed 1/3 for 3:30. We worked on PCs in 308, the semi-lab classroom.  Cleaned desktops, docs, and unneeded programs; remediated as needed; installed Deep Freeze
(no-console mode).</li>
	<li>(with Christie, JRL personnel, and CUIP group) Thu 1/11 for 2:20
*  We accompanied Ana Castillo's class on a Library tour, plus
library computer lab session to begin researching their projects</li>
</ul>
<h3>Murray</h3>
<ul>
	<li>Peculiar combination of circumstances made it look like the school
web server was down or malfunctioning.  We untangled it successfully.</li>
	<li>* Joe has contacted OTS to make sure he can edit GPO (Group Policy) for
the Murray OU, and he is planning how to restrict the students from
changing desktop backgrounds.  I said I would forward from Ray the
settings that are (half-)working there.  Also I advocated trying Deep
Freeze (and threatened to bring Russ over to advocate on this:), but Joe
is reluctant about that</li>
	<li>* Promised to keep him posted about alternatives to Lyceum when we get
trial installations in order.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Price</h3>
Price Email 0:20 * email with Kev and Shaz about laptop lockouts
<h3>Ray</h3>
Tue 1/9 for 2:00
<ul>
	<li>Start-of quarter check-in meeting with Mary Cobb and our NSPs, Sanjaya and Bryan. Summary has been separately emailed.</li>
	<li>Got email from Gabe Sheridan about her progress with the Ray website redesign, met with her to discuss what kind of help we can offer.  This may be with the help of Dawei, potential NSP.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Shoesmith</h3>
Fri 1/12, 1/2 hr with Erik and Issra
<ul>
	<li>NSP introduction.  It seems Yayan has been working largely lab-based,
and Ms. Gates has the good thought of Issra getting more
classroom-teacher-involvement going for their classes' lab sessions.</li>
	<li>In the lab there was a collection of some 6 to 8 new-looking "no-name"
[actually ASUS see http://usa.asus.com/index.aspx] computers (with AMD
processors and W2K as the OS).  Mr Rhyne identified these as coming "from
the University" -- but it wasn't us.  Could it be Gear UP?  Or maybe
there's some misunderstanding.  Anyway, these are currently not networked;
we might help with that, and then the machines will need CPS
remediation/setup  (I noticed some incorrect names).</li>
</ul>
<h3>Till</h3>
Thu 1/4 for 3:00, Mon 1/8 1:00 + 2:45 = 6:45
<ul>
	<li>[Thu 1/4] Surveyed computers in south-bldg library.  Remediated one Dell
Dimension 2400 that was in good shape but needed naming and domain
correction; installed and checked operation of Athena library software on
this PC. Started W2K installation on another. Checked the teacher-desk
computer, recommend install W2K, also recommend swapping to put better
Dell in its place. email report to Librarian, AP, Techco; besides fixup
and provision of new computers, room needs mice and ethernet cables.</li>
	<li>[Mon 1/8]  Stopped in Library before CUIP meeting, to report to librarian (Ms
Gaal) and begin follow up activity.  We swapped the remediated Dell over
to her desk.</li>
	<li>Returned in the afternoon, with Christie.  She renewed her
acquaintance with Ms. Gaal and began consultations on the use of the
library; also Christie met Tom Ziencina.</li>
	<li>I continued/completed W2K upgrades on two other computers; released
the power-on password from another and noted it for upgrade.  There are
three further computers that need attention.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Wadsworth</h3>
Tue 1/9 with Russ for 3:15
<ul>
	<li>We looked around in the 1st floor combined-room lab.  This will be a nice locale when done!</li>
	<li>* We worked in room 221, desktop wireless lab fitted out with computers mostly from 215. It is working pretty well.  Russ worked on the printing for this lab.</li>
	<li>* Updated INSTR student logins.</li>
	<li>* We went to the MDF room to check on the Wadsworth servers.  The room is not being cleaned.  The Wadsworth servers, although shunted onto somewobbly tables, are kept connected and were available for our use.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Woodlawn</h3>
<ul>
	<li>* Re-installed W2K on Compaq in room 210 that was bothering Carisa,
finished drivers and remediation. Meanwhile, we noticed a couple other
computers in that same room in bad shape :(, but didn't get to them right
now</li>
	<li>I helped Carisa step thru signing up for Second Life and learning some
of the techniques.  Gave her some educational landmarks & groups from our
session with Corinne, and sent Friend invitations to Craig and some of the
CUIP group.  [Maybe we should have an actual group?  Or start a broader
educational technology group?]</li>
</ul>
<h3>CUIP Team</h3>
<ul>
	<li>Group demo and intro to Second Life, guided by Christie.</li>
	<li>Sara and I did two NSP interviews, and she did another, which I missed.
The group arrived at 2 (or 2.5) new NSP school assignments, and completed
the in-school introduction for one of those.</li>
	<li>Reactivated the weekly reporting reminder to the NSP list, and the
reminder to staffers that the postings are available.  (Need to rewrite
the text a bit to fit the new theme.)</li>
</ul>
<h3>CUIP Office & Computing</h3>
<ul>
	<li>* Installed NAS device. This one will be suitable for local shares, and backup of the desktop machines.  Still looking for a new strategy for backup of the Linux servers.</li>
	<li>Tried out our purchased USB Drive Enclosures. Worked fine with Leon's drive, not so well with the one Erik brought from ENTR.  Joe Mills at Murray happened to write in with a related question, and Erik will take /has taken one of the enclosures over there for Joe to try out.</li>
</ul>
<h3>CUIP Servers</h3>
<ul>
	<li>Removed 4 moribund Mailman lists</li>
	<li>* Cleared the local backup area on www2</li>
