I finished making the computer for the boiler room and brought it down there.  It was much appreciated, but it has no way to connect to the internet.  There is no ethernet port and no real way to get wireless.  Pity.  I fixed up a couple of computers in the MDF room.  I also discovered one computer (an acer veriton 5200) sitting in a classroom on the first floor that people claimed was not working.  I re-loaded windows 2000 onto it, and now it works greate xcept that it won\'t connect to any network and so is sitting in the MDF room.  I also did some hard-drive swapping with some acers I had lying around the MDF room, and I got one to work!  Unfortunately, the next day I was here I tried to put more RAM into it, and it stopped working.  Before it would start up and give me a bad hard drive error.  Now it won\'t start up at all.  When I turn it on, it hums a little, and if I open it up I can see the fan running.  I think the hard disks may be spinning.  Nothing shows up on the screen.  It just sits there, blank.  I tok the new RAM out, and it did the same thing.  Any advice would be wonderful, because I really want this computer to work again.  It was a really nice pentium 4 with a 40 gb HD.\n\nNathaniel','Weeks 6 and 7 @Price','','publish','open','closed','','weeks-6-and-7-price','','','2008-02-25 13:11:11','2008-02-25 19:11:11','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/2008/02/25/weeks-6-and-7-price/',0,'post','',0),(415,41,'2008-02-28 11:23:26','2008-02-28 17:23:26','<strong>Your Name: Han Zhu</strong>\n\n<strong>Today’s Date:</strong> 2008/2/28\n\n<strong>Day(s) worked or described:</strong> T Θ\n\n<strong>Total hours for week: 5 </strong>\n\n<strong>The School: Shoesmith</strong>\n\n<strong>Kind of Work:</strong> Tech for Project, Helping Teacher, Lab Supervision\n\n<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>\n\nTuesday I worked on the Shoesmithk blog and updated it with some activities to fit the week\'s homework for the students. I helped out in the lab when Mrs. Corbin\'s class came in to do their powerpoint presentations on inventors. I also remembered how much I despise floppy disks when it turned out some of the kids had saved their work on floppy disks that, of course, were dysfunctional. I then did some basic setup work on Ms. Wernecke\'s blog, but wasn\'t able to catch her to talk about it.\n\nThursday I updated Ms. Lee\'s blog and wrote up a letter for her to send home to parents with instructions on how to use the blog. This week and some of last have been quite slow - with ISAT fever having overtaken the school, teachers are, quite rightly, focused on getting their students to pass, so there hasn\'t been a lot of time for projects and blogs and the like. I\'m not sure what to do about next week - I think there\'s ISAT testing during the times I work. I don\'t know if that\'ll give me more time with teachers or leave me with nothing to do.','Week 8 at Shoesmith','','publish','open','closed','','week-8-at-shoesmith-2','','','2008-02-28 11:23:26','2008-02-28 17:23:26','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/2008/02/28/week-8-at-shoesmith-2/',0,'post','',0),(416,43,'2008-02-26 12:49:40','2008-02-26 18:49:40','So things have been a little uneventful recently, but mice are still being stolen regularly.

Missing hardware is a bit of a problem here, and occasionally mice and other components disappear. I\'m planning on installing a PCI based network interface card from one of the older computers upstairs to avoid this problem provided I can locate the driver CDs and/or download the software. If all goes well, I should have Ms. Khan\'s and Ms. Bryant\'s computers on the network again by the end of today.\n\nComputers dropping from the network is also a problem, and this is probably due to the limited number of WAPs, in addition to the fact that all of the computers use 802.11b wireless connections. I noticed in particular that several computers had loose antennae, and some even had all of their connections removed (VGA, USB, power etc.)\n\nMy first few weeks here have gone pretty smoothly, although I wasn\'t entirely prepared for the kids\' behavior; since I\'m not really a teacher here, I\'m not sure whether to be assertive with them when I\'m the only one around or let the teachers handle them when they get out of hand.','Week 7 & 8: Sexton','','publish','open','closed','','week-7-8-sexton','','','2008-02-26 14:33:22','2008-02-26 20:33:22','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/2008/02/26/week-7-8-sexton/',0,'post','',1),(418,42,'2008-02-27 10:32:13','2008-02-27 16:32:13','Your Name: Clare Wolfe\nToday’s Date: 2008/2/27\n\nReporting weeks 7 and 8\nDay(s) worked or described: M W\nTotal hours for weeks: 8.5\n\nThe School: Till\nKind of Work: Tech General\nMain Report or Narrative: I\'ve been doing more research for the 3rd graders--planets next month.

Because this only installs on an INSTR account, Ms Herron and I found an old generic account the teacher can use.\n\nI also tested the monitors and CPUs for Techknow. Sara, could you help Ms Herron with asset disposal? The old computer parts are still  in that room. I also helped deploy the laptop cart.

She remarked that it was a shame that the school had no computer lab teacher, and I suggested that Dana and I pitch in to fill that role (since that\'s what we\'re really here for anyway). Together we came up with two potential projects for the eighth graders (the grade about which she is the most concerned, since they are heading into high school): a research project which would provide a framework for learning internet research, word processing, Powerpoint, and other technology skills, and a yearbook club for a smaller group of students which would involve putting together a yearbook for the eighth graders and a Powerpoint to be shown at graduation. I am hugely excited about the latter project, and spent most what was otherwise a very slow day on Wednesday putting together lesson plans for the yearbook club. I also talked to Mr. Hinton (the eighth grade teacher) about picking out a group of students -- he should have names for me soonish. Today, I switched the locations of the accountant\'s old and new computers, fixed a weird problem that Ms. Davis-Berry (216) was having with her computer, and generally kept busy.','Week 8 at Fermi (Emily)','','publish','open','closed','','week-8-at-fermi-emily','','','2008-02-29 10:30:54','2008-02-29 16:30:54','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/2008/02/29/week-8-at-fermi-emily/',0,'post','',0),(421,40,'2008-02-29 14:52:25','2008-02-29 20:52:25','Worked Thursday, Friday\n\nHours Worked : 6 \n\nMs. Shepherd has a new printer, and asked me to move the old one to another spot and connect her other computers to it. She also had a cd drive that wasn\'t working. I spent most of today trying to find a replacement. I eventually did, and everything worked fine, until I got back to her room. Then it decided not to open. I\'ll figure it out next week when I have more time. Because the digital photography teacher is using the INSTR account now, she needed help migrating the kid\'s work from the individual school accounts. It was a little bit difficult, but in the long run it will make things much easier. She can add pictures to the my documents folder and all her students can access them, instead of transfering them to each computer individually, which was how she was doing things before. Also, there were some logistic problems because each student had to sit at the same spot before. That isn\'t the case anymore. The macs she delivered won\'t work unfortunately. She needs them for printshop, but no one has a mac version of the software. That doesn\'t matter anyway, because the computers have admin accounts we can\'t get into, so they are essentially locked up.\n\n Finally, Last week, Ms. Lattimore told me about a computer in the boiler room that was having some trouble. The engineer who works back there wants internet access, but his room isn\'t wired. Can you think of any solutions? Would it be possible to somehow add a dialup connection?','Price Week 8','','publish','open','closed','','price-week-8','','','2008-02-29 14:52:25','2008-02-29 20:52:25','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/2008/02/29/price-week-8/',0,'post','',1),(422,34,'2008-03-01 00:25:04','2008-03-01 06:25:04','<strong>Your Name:</strong> Ben Hyman\n<strong>Today’s Date</strong>: 2008/2/29\nReporting on most recent week\n<strong>Day(s) worked or described</strong>: T F\n<strong>Total hours for week</strong>: 5.1\n<strong>The School</strong>: Canter Middle\n<strong>Kind of Work</strong>: Tech General\n<strong>Main Report or Narrative</strong>:\nTuesday was printer day! I set up the very large (network) Lexmark that had already been in the teacher\'s lounge, and added the printer to the two other computers in the lounge. Speaking of printers, Dr. Conlan told me that she\'s just waiting for asset tags for the newly donated printers, and then I can install them around the schools. I also fixed a problem with Ms. Washington\'s local printer not working; the key to those hung print jobs is to stop and start the print spooler service. Works like a charm. \n\n<!--more-->\n\nI got an email from Russ on Wednesday asking me to look at some things, so I took care of those on Friday. Mainly he wanted me to look at the computers in room 305 and 303. He said that 305 was low on memory and producing errors; it did only have 128 MB of memory, but I saw no errors logging in as techco or to INSTR. Since we have no extra memory lying around, I consider this problem resolved by virtue of having luckily disappeared!\n\nAs I alluded to in my last report, Ms. Escalona in 303 is okay with me removing the computer from her room (thus making moot Russ\' request for me to look at the computer). Is this okay with you guys? I will probably salvage the RAM and mouse and put those in another computer...meaning we\'ll then have 7 useless (i.e., without RAM) CPUs and 5 useless monitors. If only there were more RAM around, I could put those computers to good use!\n\nSpeaking of memory, in terms of past reports, I mentioned that I was having trouble with computers E3 - E5. E5 is now fine with local logins, but chokes (as do all the others) on INSTR logins, which I think is the more important issue. Do you have any suggestions, or should I investigate some of those drastic memory-saving techniques that I alluded to in my report two weeks ago?\n\nI was taking a look at the Canter Compliance page (which now has far more red entries than it should), and updated one of the computers (in the in-school suspension room), via Windows Update, which had been missing several patches. It\'s still showing up - do these things take time to change? I\'ll check on Tuesday. Speaking of the in-school suspension computer, it\'s again dangerously low on space. I\'ll think of some space-saving techniques, figure out what we can do.\n\nI also took another look at the computer in the office, which Ms. LaCour said was experiencing the same CD-ROM issues we ran into last quarter. Nothing looked amiss - I\'ll have to see if anything has changed on Tuesday.\n\nMy proudest moment, both on Friday and Tuesday, regarded printing. On Friday, I changed the INSTR staff logon script so that all staff would be able to see and print to the printer in the Teacher\'s Lounge. I don\'t know why I was having so much trouble, but it\'s working now. You need to add the printer to the Canter server, share it, and then add a line to the logon script for this to successfully work (I can share if anyone\'s curious). In the process I also discovered a bug that occurs whenever teachers log on to computers that have DeepFreeze installed. This bug could possibly apply to other schools as well - basically, the script that runs on logon tries to map a network drive (the staff folder on the server) to the same drive letter DeepFreeze uses for the thaw space. This is easily fixable (a one-character change in the script), but may not have been noticed before.\n \n<strong>Remaining Issues</strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Memory :-(.</li\n<li>Space on computer in room 304</li>\n<li>We need one more spare mouse to fully equip all the lab computers...but they really should have enough memory to be usable before this becomes an issue.\n<li>Using Canter\'s compliance website</li>\n<li>Editing the theme for this site. <em>Mitch, I\'m still not sure my permissions are set properly for this.

The problem is that they are old (some Intel PII laptops and desktops circa pre-2000), and that most of them are in the room because of HD failure. There is a box of working IDE hard drives that must have been left over from previous IBM computers, so making these old computers work should not be a problem.

On Wednesday, I had a quick computer fix to deal with (the subject of which I can\'t quite remember), a port to test (for the security guard -- I need to call 3-EXCL because it a. isn\'t working or b. is not actually an ethernet jack), and then Sara and I just hung out in the computer lab and discussed all sorts of crazy projects. Today (Friday), Ms. Buris-Gaines\' (107) computer presented me with a blue screen, which is not surprising because it was full of horrible internet vomit (e.g. : IM BANKING: The Online Banking Portal for the Rest of Us. Takes three hours to load, has no obvious function). I took this opportunity to upgrade her machine to XP -- I discovered all of these dell system disks in the giant safe area and used one. It\'s mostly done -- just not remediated yet. Most of the downtime during the installation was spent watching all of the kids in her classroom because every special ed student in the school over the age of 6 had been sent to her room during the ISAT and no substitute arrived for a good fifteen-twenty minutes. We watched Fat Albert (the live action movie) and played with every single Leapfrog book in the classroom.

These were not re-installs, but installs for the first time.  It\'s promising that Ms. Evans and everyone at Bret Harte has so much more confidence in using AM.\n\nI also helped Ms. Parks create a backup task for her files.

Tuesday, I monkeyed around with the computer from Ms. Escalona\'s room (despite mixing it with some other proprietary RAM of the same type, I still couldn\'t get it working), played with the fan in the computer in Ms. Washington\'s room, fixed the naming on the B5 Acer, checked the memory/naming on E3 - E5 (still not enough memory in any of those computers to use them reliably), and took a look at the compliance website. The website seems to be fairly variable - some progress I\'d made before break had disappeared, in that several computers had disappeared from the scan entirely.\n\n<!--more-->\n\nThursday, I walked through blogging again with Ms. Spector, and played with the theming of her website a bit. I think I may want to edit the theme directly to manage what she wants; the current themes seem a bit restrictive. I also replaced the graphics card in the computer in 105, and the shadowing problem I described earlier has since disappeared. I found some new RAM, but quickly discovered (much to my disappointment and sadness) that it wasn\'t functional. I also discovered that C3 and C4 don\'t have enough memory to be usable. That makes the following essentially unusable until I can figure something else out:\nC3 - C4\nE3 - E5.\n\nIn addition, the case on C4 is (broken) such that the computer can\'t be turned on when the case is on. Maybe I can rig up a mechanical solution, but I also need to fix the RAM problem.\n\nThe computers and displays are beginning to pile up - it\'s a shame I can\'t really use them because of lack of RAM!\n\n<strong>Remaining issues</strong>\n<ul>\n<li>MEMORY ISSUES (C3-C4, E3-E5)</li>\n<li>Whiteboard</li>\n<li>Sending Ms. LaCour directions for the financial-record-keeping software.</li>\n<li>Not forgetting that i\'ve started keeping some files on the canter server, under \\canter-srv02usersstaffbhyman4260. this includes the list of printer serial numbers.</li>\n<li>Checking naming in Room 207, and seeing if some of those computers can be moved out of there</li>\n<li>Making sure the descriptions on computers C3, C4, E1, and E3-E5 are okay.</li>\n<li>Resolving memory issues on C3, E3-E5, and finding display drivers for E5/others.</li>\n<li>Possible memory issues in room 106</li>\n<li>Space on computer in room 304</li>\n<li>Using Canter\'s compliance website</li>\n<li>Editing the theme for this site.

I started on Wednesday with a reexamination of Ms. Buris-Gaines\' (107) computers, which unfortunately had not miraculously recovered over my absence. The one I had to reinstall Windows on is acting up a little, in the sense that it sometimes will think it is connected to the internet and other times will change its mind, and refuses to recognize the School account. With help, I hope to just reimage it so that I can get Word and Excel and all of those little ditties on. Her other computer was quite close to crashing as well, mostly because it\'s clogged up with all sorts of wretchedness. Explorer was failing, so I just launched it in Safe mode and used Spybot to give it a thorough cleaning (there were somewhere between 50 and 100 infections. delicious). I continued the cleaning through Thursday, at which point I was able to start the computer in normal mode. It still needs work, though, so that it can run at a reasonable pace again. I also met with Mr. Hinton about the yearbook club, which should be getting started next week! He gave me a list of 9 students (5 of which are his and 4 of which are Ms. Kimbrough\'s) with whom I\'ll be meeting with from 1:30-2:30 on Thursdays for the rest of the quarter. I\'m a little nervous, since this will be my first class-leading experience,  but hopefully things will go well. In hopes of giving the students something to work from, I put a note in most of the teachers\' mailboxes asking them to bring in high school yearbooks to show the students -- hopefully I\'ll get some! Now I just have to talk to Dr. Sanders about the exact plan, and start preparing for the big day.

On Tuesday, I moved the spare computers in 102 and 306, and played around a little bit with Wordpress theming.

I took a brief look at the Canter-adm website, but didn\'t have a chance to see what I could resolve.\n<!--more-->\n\nThursday, I helped the teacher in room 301 with printing, and finally got to take a look at the spare computers in 207 (the last time I was in there was during Fall quarter!). While there, I resolved a printing issue that one of the teachers had asked me to take a look at. As regards the spare computers, there are a total of 5 in the room, and the teachers need at least two (which is good because there are two in there working well). There are another two running Windows 98, both of which I was able to salvage 128 MB of RAM from, in hopes of combining them into one CPU and then upgrading. It turns out (barring further investigation on Tuesday) that <em>both</em> RAM modules are bad. Argh. The other computer only has 128 MB of RAM and isn\'t doing so well; I\'ll take a closer look Tuesday. At this point, there are only two working computers in the room, and a total of three RAM modules that I\'d like to take a closer look at (they\'re in the computer lab, and I think the one on the far right definitely works well).\n\nIn other news, I\'m running out of space to put the spare CPUs and displays. I\'ll send Russ an email about the potential for asset disposal, and I still need to get back to Mitch\'s and Shaz\'s most recent emails.\n\nAlso, there\'s something up with the cabling in room 306 that prevents the network/Internet from working. The teacher said something about the fuse not working? Since it wasn\'t really accessible (at Canter, the boxes are several feet up in one corner, and would require a ladder or something to each), I didn\'t manage to take a look at it.

Tuesday and today meld together, but basically I\'ve been doing stuff for Mr. Willis. He had me make some changes to the Shoesmith school website, which took me longer than expected because I couldn\'t figure out where Shaz had changed the header. I ended up just changing the header where it normally is changed. I also fixed some issues on Study Island with a class being deleted, helped a teacher with Impact and another with a video and cookies. Sara came by on Thursday and we talked about the state of my upcoming projects and paid a visit for Mrs. Cranley. I also downloaded and started playing around with Scratch (hence the title). I\'m not sure how successful it\'s going to be here - it\'s really going to take some serious time commitment with small groups of students.

I puttered around attempting to find functional computers in the back of the lab and managed to put together about two functional workstations. On Wednesday, Sara and I sort of finished the job by fitting scavenged memory into a few computers, putting together two more stations and getting them all hooked up to the internet via a series of complicated cable maneuvers. Today was the first meeting of the yearbook club, which was semi-successful. The students seemed mostly enthusiastic (some more than others) and came up with some good ideas, although the internet research wasn\'t as successful as I\'d hoped it would be since two of the computers were running at a remarkably slow pace and one had to be swapped out on the fly. Today was also my first experience with the sort of poorly conceived computer lab management that Shaz had mentioned at Tuesday\'s meeting. When I went up into the lab at 1:00, a sub was in there sort of dazedly wandering around as kids unplugged and replugged various peripherals and tootled around on a series of cartoon-related websites. I wasn\'t sure what to do about this situation, as she was relatively compliant about getting out at 1:30 (although her kids weren\'t -- she left about five or six stragglers which I had to kick out). The kicker, though, was when I was looking for the tupperware in which we had been storing spare RAM.

Wright got a ticket from the tech folks downtown to work on Impact, because there\'s some issue with his user rights. There was a request to have CPS on Demand installed in rooms besides the library (206, in particular). I don\'t know where to get that- is it in the bookroom?\n\nThe library had some strange issues with the network. There were some computers hooked up to the printers, but most, if not all of the computers had issues with DCHP and connecting with the school network to access printers over it. Most of the computers in there were connected to shore.cps. and so on, but the ones in the circle were connected to ray.cps, for some reason. They also used the broken DCHP address as one of their DNS addresses, in contrast to the other computers.\n\nI did manage to get the computer in room 103 set up to use the printer, but for some reason it needs to be assigned the printer over the network once per user, rather than once for all users like normal. Not sure whether that\'s a windows 2000 thing or something else. We continue to have issues with getting cords- printer cords, power cords, ect.

 \n\nBut seriously, now we have that important trust relationship and we can begin to take control of Mollison from the inside out.  We begin Phase I shortly.  Muahahaha.\n\nOn Friday, I woke up at the crack of dawn and journeyed with Mitch to meet Shaz and Joe for a little professional development thing at Mollison where we expressed our nerdy concerns to the teachers and staff at Mollison.  \n\nThe most important and hopefully effective portion of the discussion revolved around the status of the lab and appropriate lab management and behavior.  The end result is that I have to clean the lab up a lot, and teachers need to start enforcing some lab policy to keep it clean.  \n\nThis is where we gather all the assets that need disposing and call Asset Disposal to dispose of them.  \n\nIn other news, I\'m also tinkering with the website to see what kind of column width looks better and if it should be symmetrical.  <a href=\"http://schools.cuip.net/mollison\">Lemme know what you think.</a>','Mollison Week 2: Change We Can Believe In?','','publish','open','closed','','mollison-week-2-change-we-can-believe-in','','','2008-04-14 14:26:51','2008-04-14 20:26:51','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=463',0,'post','',0),(464,34,'2008-04-18 13:52:22','2008-04-18 19:52:22','<strong>Your Name:</strong> Ben Hyman\n<strong>Today’s Date</strong>: 2008/4/17\nReporting on most recent week\n<strong>Day(s) worked or described</strong>: T, Th\n<strong>Total hours for week</strong>: 5.0\n<strong>The School</strong>: Canter Middle\n<strong>Kind of Work</strong>: Tech General\n<strong>Main Report or Narrative</strong>: On Tuesday, I briefly helped Ms. Jackson by providing her with a username/password list, and passing along some typing tips. I also took another look at 207, and discovered that the middle computer (2nd from the right) works now, but has a bad network card. Either I jostled something while peaking inside, or it\'s just gone bad. I\'ll have to take a look for a PCI network card in one of the spare computers next Tuesday. \n\nLastly, I retrieved the spare computers from Ms. Washington\'s room (3 CPUs!) and Ms. Harris\' room, did some quick inventorying, and checked to see \nwhat could be redistributed and used, etc. There\'s now some spare equipment in the teacher\'s lounge - 4 empty CPUs, a monitor, and a few peripherals. I was also able to run some quick memory testing on a few of the RAM modules I had found earlier. Unfortunately, all of them were bad :-(.\n<!--more-->\n\nThursday was RAM day! Having forgotten my screwdriver on Tuesday, I was unable to get at the RAM modules in a number of the spare computers I\'d found. I finally got at them, and was very excited to discover a number of extra modules. Before you get your hopes up, they were all bad ;-). I suppose that\'s as much as can be expected from computers lying unused in teachers\' classrooms - that\'s probably why they were unplugged in the first place.\n\nHowever, I <em>was</em> able to use one set of spare modules to get E4 working, and the other memory problems in the lab seem to have disappeared! An interesting note: I know of a RAM module that definitely worked in the Windows 98 computer it was in, but later failed (i.e. the memtest CD I had picked up errors) on a Windows 2K computer. Since I\'ve mainly been using the memtest CD to judge whether the RAM is good or not, it\'s possible that there\'s not a direct correlation between the computer\'s ability to use the RAM, and whether or not memtest picks up errors. It\'s also possible that Windows 98 is less finicky about these things; I think I\'d like to do some more testing. Mitch, can you shed any light on this?\n\nI also provided Dr. Conlan with the name of the type of cable she needs to get the whiteboard working, since she\'s going to a training session on Monday.\n\nOut of curiosity, how goes it with Drupal?

I was thinking of maybe doing a simpler project than a game? I saw one project that was a short story and I had the idea of having a class do a literary project on Scratch in the form of an illustrated book - clicking a button would turn a page so it\'d be like a real book and they could include pictures. My only reservation is that it\'s not really using Scratch to its full potential. Thoughts? Anyways, I did that pondering while waiting for Mrs. Cranley to show up to our meeting, but after waiting 10 minutes, I went to search the school to her. After scouring the school, I gave up and started work on a project for her. When I see her next week, I\'ll finish the project with her just so she\'ll learn how to do it.\n\nThursday was like deja vu in that I showed up to school and realized nobody was there and the meetings I had planned were obviously not going to happen. Yeahhh... for some reason I thought they\'d all still be there even though the kids weren\'t.\n\nFriday was deja vu again, but in a different way. I came in and spent some time answering some of Mr. Willis\' questions about the school website. Then I spent a little more time on Scratch and on Mrs. Cranley\'s project before a third grade class invaded. I didn\'t work last quarter at a time when young students were in the lab, so I\'d forgotten how insane it gets. It was also really hot, and I had to ask myself when I had started working at Mollison. OK, so maybe not that bad, but there were paper airplanes and kids muttering under the breath about me because I told them not to throw paper airplanes and parts of computers crashing to the ground (side panel of one CPU... still not sure how it happened).\n\n ','Week 3 at Shoesmith: Missing Teachers and Deja Vu','','publish','open','closed','','week-3-at-shoesmith-missing-teachers-and-deja-vu','','','2008-04-18 12:54:27','2008-04-18 18:54:27','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=465',0,'post','',0),(466,39,'2008-04-18 15:54:07','2008-04-18 21:54:07','<div class=\"main\">\n\n<strong>Your Name:</strong> Sasha Reschechtko\n\n<strong>Today’s Date:</strong> 2008/4/18\n\n<strong>Day(s) worked or described:</strong> T, W\n\n<strong>Total hours for week:</strong> 4\n\n<strong>The School: </strong>Woodlawn Community School\n\n<strong>Kind of Work:</strong> tech general\n\n<strong>Work on Printers: ~</strong>25% of my total time this week\n\n<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>\n\nTuesday:\n\nI went to a classroom to check on an apparently malfunctioning printer.  It appears that the problems with that printer were manifold: it was not plugged into anything, a cord was obstructing the paper tray, it had paper jam, and there were many things in the print que.  I really don\'t care to find out how all these things happened, but I cleared it up.  I then tried installing some vocabulary software on computers in the same room; the software is \"WordSmart\" brand, and pretty fancy, I presume, but also a real pain to do anything with.  I had some trouble getting the program to run on the computers (it said an error log was being created, but I\'m not sure where to check and whether I will be able to decipher the log if I find it), and it appears that a portion of the software will only work with the CD in the computer, which is not ideal for a teacher who wants to have five students use the program at the same time...  Finally, I did a bit of work on another printer; I\'m not sure what exactly was wrong, but I got it to work.\n\nWednesday:\n\nI worked on disk clean-up for a computer taken out of the office because it was not functioning as a result of having &gt;100 mb of hard disk space.  The computer is set up with two 20 GB drives, but, of course, only one is used.  It seems like the easiest solution might be uninstalling some programs and reinstalling them on the other disk, but I don\'t know if that\'s a good idea or not (whether it would have any unintended consequences).\n\nI then worked on computers in the kindergarten room; I made sure the printer was shared out (I have no idea why the kindergarteners have a printer), and added memory to a particularly poorly performing computer.  I also ran into some problems joining one of the kindergarten computers to INSTR; Mitch gave me some pointers that I\'ll try on Monday.\n\n</div>','Woodlawn: Week 3','','publish','open','closed','','woodlawn-week-3-2','','','2008-04-18 15:54:07','2008-04-18 21:54:07','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=466',0,'post','',0),(467,10,'2008-04-18 19:08:09','2008-04-19 01:08:09','Bryan Duff\nTech General\nBret Harte\nWednesday and Friday: 1:30-3:30\n\nI managed to add rooms 207 and 202 to DeepFreeze, and hope to continue this process throughout the building.

They now run blindingly fast, or at least as close as we\'re going to get to any semblance of fast. I also took a look at what Dana had done with the tantalizing new Rapid Eye disk on Mr. Laws\' laptop, and did a little playing around to see whether I could make any progress. I managed to acquire the IP address for the Rapid Eye unit (harder than it sounds), but wasn\'t able to get too much further than that since a Vista-related upgrade took approximately 600 years to download and I didn\'t have the time to wait it out. Wednesday, I talked to Ms. Buris-Gaines for a bit and found out that she wanted all of the games I\'d uninstalled back on all of her computers. I bumbled around with this for a little bit, and realized that one of the computers lacked a functional disk drive and the other needed to be reimaged before I could do anything with it. I was further tempted away by the promise of getting Rapid Eye to work, so I asked her to wait until Thursday and skittered over to the laptop, where I downloaded the Rapid Eye update and got it almost at the functional level. On Thursday, there was no yearbook due to report card pickup day, so I spent all day installing games on Ms. Buris-Gaines\' computer, getting inordinately excited about all of the features on Rapid Eye and showing them to a very tolerant Mr. Laws, and eating some delicious peach cobbler from the bake sale -- basically, an ideal day.','Fermi, Week 3 (Emily)','','publish','open','closed','','fermi-week-3-emily','','','2008-04-21 08:57:57','2008-04-21 14:57:57','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=469',0,'post','',1),(470,33,'2008-04-21 09:26:41','2008-04-21 15:26:41','<div class=\"main\">\n\n<strong>Your Name: Jackson Wright</strong>\n\n<strong></strong><strong>Today’s Date:</strong> 2008/04/21[2008/04/14]\n\n<strong>Day(s) worked or described:</strong> W\n\n<strong>Total hours for week:3</strong>\n\n<strong>The School: Mollison</strong><em>\n</em>\n\n<strong>Kind of Work:</strong> Tech general, Lab Supervision, Asset Disposal Preparation, Teacher Advising\n\n<strong>Main Report or Narrative:</strong>\n\n</div>\n<div class=\"main\">Not much to report.

As I was leaving, Dr. Conlan asked me to speak with the two people who were auditing the school. I spoke with them briefly about the number (and type) of computers in the school, and then headed out.\n\nAs I was walking in on Thursday, Ms. Ahad asked me if I would take a look at her printer. Near as I could tell, it was a power issue. I opened up the printer (something I\'d never done before) and fiddled around a bit...in the end, I got it working (and yes, I think it was a power supply issue, or that the on-off switch didn\'t work), plus I learned some more about printers. I also replaced the display for the computer on the left in the teacher\'s lounge, and magically fixed the computer on the right which wasn\'t working (Windows wouldn\'t fully boot up).

I was scheduled to install RapidEye on Mr. Taylor\'s computer, but was informed that the RapidEye disk was locked in Dr. Sanders\' office. This was foolish, but not nearly as foolish as I felt when I realized that I could just download the RapidEye software from the Honeywell website. I did so and got Mr. Taylor up and running, then spent a little time setting up a crappy found inkjet printer in the Teacher Resource room for Mr. Smith (since the ink for the other, far nicer printer is apparently more difficult to come by?). Apparently this wasn\'t entirely successful, but Dana (who I now consider basically my CUIP fairy godfather, being as he is able to solve every problem ever) was able to fix it. My final accomplishment was to goad Mr. Taylor into allowing me to sign Fermi up for an ink cartridge recycling program, which everyone should force upon your schools because you can make an absurd amount of money off of those goofy little things ($0.20 for a black HP ink cartridge, and $1.00 for a color cartridge!). I\'m still waiting for the packet to come in for that. I wasn\'t able to make it in on Wednesday, but I spent today briefly looking at Ms. Alexander\'s computer (i think it just needs to sit and simmer a little before it\'ll be able to access the dibbles account, since it still has the default techco password) and hanging out with Yearbook. I made a google account for the club so we don\'t have to worry about saving documents and so I can have a concrete calendar to point to. Despite the stream of kids constantly wandering in and out of the computer lab, it was a relatively successful session -- we came up with a list of superlatives to be voted on and a \"what\'s in/what\'s out\" list.

There were two different forces that fueled one another to make the situation chaotic. Technology problems led to behavioral problems, and behavioral problems in turn created more technology problems.</p>\n<p>Technology Problems: There weren\'t enough laptops for every student to use their own.  The teacher didn\'t pair students up, so there were about 5 students who sat off to the side not doing any work at all, while several students had their own computers. Of the working computers, about half couldn\'t connect to INSTR, which meant students had to log onto school/Student!. This meant they couldn\'t save their files to the network, and more importantly, they couldn\'t print because the printer is only available on the INSTR network.</p>\n<p>Behavioral Problems: The students without computers found a box of legos in the back of the room and spent most of the time playing with those. The teacher didn\'t seem to mind, even when the kids started throwing them at one another. When I saw they were making guns out of the legos, I stepped in and took them away. Students were frequently walking around the room, sometimes carrying their laptops. One girl, while horsing around with her friend nearly threw the computer off the table, luckily she grabbed ahold of it at the last minute.  I caught one student looking at pornography, and took his laptop. However, when I showed the teacher he shrugged it off saying \"he has a lot of problems\" This student spent the rest of the class playing with legos.</p>\n<p>I\'m guessing the computer lab has about the same level of supervision.

It still hasn\'t been found by the network yet, so installing the sync software is impossible.  On Thursday, I installed some media manipulation programs on one of the media center computers, just to see if it would work.  There is some great free and open source software out there like Scribus and The GIMP.  I\'ll probably install them on the other three computers soon.  I got hit with a bunch of projects five minutes before leaving on Thursday, so Friday was where all the action was this week.  I tried to set up a fax machine for the school counselor.  Unfortunately, the HP printer doesn\'t come with the kind of cable needed to hook the fax machine up to the printer, and there is no internet outlet in the counselor\'s office.  So, I had to look online and find the type of cable that we need.  Mr. Laws is going to buy one soon, apparently, and be reimbursed for it.  Next, I needed to fix Mr. Taylor\'s Rapid-Eye.  The program was installed, but not set up to receive data from the cameras.  By copying the settings from the Vista laptop, it was relatively easy to figure out.  We still need to figure out a way to save the window settings, so that the cameras always appear in the order that Mr. Laws wants.  By this time, it was past 2:45 and Mr. Hinton had gone home, so I STILL couldn\'t talk to him about online resources about the Constitution.  I really have to track that guy down.  Mr. Laws also asked me about getting video from rapid-eye onto a DVD.

After installing the latest Windows Updates on E3, which hadn\'t been able to get them by itself, I had some free time to check out RAM, which I decided to do in the teacher\'s lounge. Basically, all the RAM sticks <em><strong>worked</strong></em> in the Windows 98 computer (Dell GX1), a fact which I was very happy to discover. I then wanted to test them in a W2K computer, so I opened up the Dell GX400 that was set up in the teacher\'s lounge. Big mistake! This computer was using RDRAM and CRIMMs, which I\'d never encountered before. This wasn\'t immediately apparent to me, so I\'d taken out the RAM modules, and when I tried to put them back in, I kept getting POST beeps. I tried several configurations, including the (previously working) one that it had been before I started, but no dice. I figured that it was a lost cause for the day, so I went to get another computer to either set it up as a replacement, or perform the RAM testing that was my original intent. I believe the one I got had a bad graphics card; I ended up having to leave, and posted a sign saying that the teacher\'s lounge computer wasn\'t working.\n\nThursday, I got in, did some quick research, and found the proper configuration for the GX400 computer in the teacher\'s lounge. I was very happy to see that work! I cleaned the area up, and then was able to do some RAM testing. A number of modules worked in another Dell \'98 computer (I didn\'t realize it was \'98 until I had started it up), and then FINALLY, I discovered that some of them worked in a Dell W2K computer. I began to wonder if the issue was actually with the Compaq computers/motherboards - I don\'t remember, but those may have been the only computers experiencing problems. The first Compaq computer I tried had a bad graphics card which I couldn\'t fix offhand. The second one had some bad IDE cables/connections which I fixed only to discover that it was a Windows 98 computer. The third one I tried, which I needed Russ\' screwdrivers to open (more on that later) ... worked!

Unfortunately, I visited Ms. Lee only to find out that her students have finished their country PowerPoint projects, which is disappointing since I had hoped to get to work with them on that. I sort of suspected that would happen since my schedule only coincides with that class\' s spanish time once a week for 40 minutes, but hopefully if they end up going to the TechKnow Fair, I\'ll get to work with the kids to hone their projects. I then helped out with a 3rd grade class in the lab. I also spent way too long trying to install a wordpress plugin to collect data on visitors to the shoesmith webpage, which ended up being a failure and I just opted for a simple counter instead.  Needless to say, not much progress was made on Tuesday.\n\nThursday was a lot better. I visited Mrs. Cranley and established a meeting time. I\'m also going to be preoccupied for a while making blog instructions (how to create and set up a blog) for her complete with screenshots so she can set up her own blog next year (unless someone else has already created this?). I then got the Obama photos from Mr. Willis and edited them and put them on the Shoesmith website. I\'m also working on typing up info that will go on Mrs. Walker\'s blog once it\'s created.\n\nFriday I finished up the info that will go on Mrs. Walker\'s blog. I also did some work on Mrs. Cranley\'s blog. I then started the blog creating instructions for Mrs. Cranley, using the blog setup on the wiki as a base.\n\nIssues I\'m not sure how to resolve:\n\n1. I am supposed to start work with Mrs. Wernecke on her blog but my schedule never coincides with hers planning periods.\n\n2. Sara, is there any way to let parents know about the school website/teacher blogs? I think a lot of teachers question whether or not the blogs are actually being used so they\'re reluctant to put effort into it.','Week 5 at Shoesmith: 1 step back, 2 steps forward','','publish','open','closed','','week-5-at-shoesmith-1-step-back-2-steps-forward','','','2008-05-02 12:36:11','2008-05-02 18:36:11','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=485',0,'post','',0),(486,38,'2008-05-01 13:52:34','2008-05-01 19:52:34','<strong>Your Name: Emily</strong>\n\n<strong>Today’s Date:</strong> 2008/5/1\n\n<strong>Day(s) worked or described:</strong> W Θ\n\n<strong>Total hours for week: 4</strong>\n\n<strong>The School: Fermi</strong>\n\n<strong>Kind of Work:</strong> tech general, yearboooooook!\n\n<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>\n\nOn Wednesday, I dealt with some accumulated issues that had been building up over the week and that I hadn\'t been able to deal with since I wasn\'t in on Monday.

There is a wireless antenna of this computer, and D airlink has been installed, but won’t open—“no card found” also, there are no Office Scan, 1st Class, or accelerated reader programs installed.\n\nMost computers also have MS office, as well as Accelerated reader, 1st class, and Impact programs installed.

At many points during the week, I stopped into the computer lab to tweak the media center computers or add a program or two.  One of the computers doesn\'t seem to work.  I think it is a problem of recognizing keyboards and mice, but it wouldn\'t recognize anything I put into it.  The other three computers all have Scribus, a layout editer, The GIMP, an Adobe Photoshop clone, and Audacity, a sound editer, on them.  These are all free, open source programs, so they can be downloaded and put on computers as we see fit.  I\'ve been looking for a video editing program, but I haven\'t found a free one that I would trust.</p>\n\n</div>','Fermi Week 5 - I\'ll See Your Catch-22 and Raise You a Norwegian Password Crack ','','publish','open','closed','','fermi-week-5-ill-see-your-catch-22-and-raise-you-a-norwegian-password-crack','','','2008-05-05 02:48:45','2008-05-05 08:48:45','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=493',0,'post','',1),(494,33,'2008-05-05 11:21:50','2008-05-05 17:21:50','<strong>Your Name: Jackson Wright</strong>\n<div class=\"main\">\n<div class=\"main\">\n<div class=\"main\">\n\n<strong></strong><strong>Today’s Date:</strong> 2008/05/05[2008/04/28]\n\n<strong>Day(s) worked or described:</strong> M W\n\n<strong>Total hours for week:5</strong>\n\n<strong>The School: Mollison</strong><em>\n</em>\n\n<strong>Kind of Work:</strong> Tech general, Asset Disposal Preparation\n\n<strong>Main Report or Narrative:</strong>\n\n</div>\n</div>\n<div class=\"main\">Essentially I spent all of Week 5 going round to teacher\'s classrooms, checking their computer issues and putting their computers on the Mollison2 domain.

Sara, Mr. Spearman, and I talked briefly about it last week and today the project has officially begun.  I choose to go with the Joomla CMS since I have the most experience with it and I know absolutely zero coding.  Today my goal was to setup a basic installation of it on the server.</p>\n<p>So this is what I did today:</p>\n<p>1. First I have to verify that the server has all the necessary framework to run it (Apache, MySQL, PHP).  I didn\'t expect it to be a OSX server.  I\'ve been spoiled by my host with cPanel in a Linux box, which came with all the necessary stuff to run basically everything.  Plus I\'m not a big fan of Mac, I think it\'s an elitist thing; so today was my first real experience with Mac.</p>\n<p>2. OSX Server (10.3.39) came with MySQL, Apache, and PHP installed, so I just had to turn them on.</p>\n<p>3. PHP wasted a lot of my time because I didn\'t know it was off on default and that it\'s not in a convenient place.  I was trying to load the Joomla installation with just MySQL and Apache, obviously didn\'t work.  When I found out PHP was the problem... I felt dumb.</p>\n<p>4. I downloaded Joomla</p>\n<p>5. Installed it on the server   </p>\n<p>6. In addition I also installed MAMP which creates a local testing environment for sites.

I had a lot of trouble (and I mean, *a lot*) getting the old one out, and it\'s possible the printer was damaged in the process of removing it (I\'m pretty sure the cartridge that was in there was not the right one...I have no idea how whoever installed it first got it in there). In any event, it\'s not working, and the printer won\'t even perform a self-test.\n\nI also tried installing new memory (well, some of the old stuff I\'d found that hadn\'t worked at first) in Mr. Fishbein\'s computer, since he was having problems way back in the fall. I almost fell over laughing (hysterical laughter, not the good kind) when his computer subsequently didn\'t work – perhaps the RAM was no good after all. It was a Compaq AP400, and the first stick I put in caused it to keep rebooting after it had started loading Windows, and the second stick completely prevented any output to the monitor. At first I thought I was just having bad luck, so I resolved to put in a new graphics card on Thursday.\n\nThursday I walked in resolved to fix a lot of problems (plus with a new toolkit!). I successfully applied the Windows updates to the computer in the teacher\'s lounge, replaced the graphics card on E4 (it was having problems, and is now fixed), started installing Windows 2K over a Windows 98 computer to completely replace Mr. Fishbein\'s old computer, and took another look at Mrs. Harris\' printer (my diagnosis is the same as before).\n\n\n\n<strong>Several Questions:</strong>\n<em> <ul>\n	<li>Do we have an HD enclosure from which I can recover data from the CPUs that we\'re disposing of?</li>\n	<li>There\'s a computer picked up by the ADM website that\'s on the Shoesmith domain and still connected.

I\'m glad to see that some teachers are making use of the overhead lcd projector setup that I put together a few weeks ago.\n\nOne thing of note is that during the past few weeks, there have been no more printer problems, so it looks like all the shared printers\' configurations are finally stable.\n\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>','Week 6 at Ray School','','publish','open','closed','','week-6-at-ray-school','','','2008-05-09 13:58:51','2008-05-09 19:58:51','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=497',0,'post','',0),(498,10,'2008-05-09 14:59:40','2008-05-09 20:59:40','<p>Bryan Duff<br />\nBret Harte<br />\nTech General + Project<br />\nWednesday and Friday: 1:30-3:30</p>\n<p>This week I focused on our survey project.

There were some difficulties.  Her class hadn’t been able to get the ‘student’ login working, so they had used ‘school’.  I demonstrated student login, (which worked just fine) and she assured me that was exactly what she had done.  And, in fact, she had called in another teacher to help before I showed up.  Is there any possibility that a login can temporarily malfunction?\n\nThe other problem she had was that her class was running a program that required flash, and not all of the computers had it.  So, after she left, I downloaded adobe flash for the computers that didn’t have it.\n\nAlso, I made numbers and tagged each of the computers and monitors, for easier communication.  On that note, computer 9 still doesn’t have MS office.\n\nFinally, I met with Mr. K: he has ditched his video project since he doesn’t have enough time left in the year.  But Ms. Nichols and Ms. Linnaeus have a different video project in the works.  And Ms. Alberez wants help working on the school website- I’d love to help out, but I’m afraid I don’t have much web building skills.\n\nMr. K. plans to order headphones for the lab, and wants to know if we recommend some brand.\n\nThursday,\n\nWas a pretty short day, since the school had an ‘Olympics’ day, and all the classes went outside just after I showed up.  I started in the lab, with Ms. Linnaeus’s class.  Things were running much smoother for them.  Although, they too had used the school login.  While were doing research on the Olympics, the students took notes on paper, and not having a printer didn’t seem to be a problem.  They did tell me that the central, wireless computers acted a little oddly, but weren’t too much of a problem.\n\nI had planned to meet with Ms. Nichols to discuss her Legacy video project, but with the Olympic events, I couldn’t find her.  Next time I see her I’ll show her some of the blogs from teachers at Sexton, and suggest that her project might resemble theirs’.

There, I found very little for me to do -- the fax machine problem is really the only issue that\'s still niggling, and Ms. Alexander\'s DIBELS problem from the other day (that I guess Dana encountered?) had mysteriously resolved itself, so I bopped around and looked at yearbook resources online. These sort of came in handy today, when the yearbook club and I got to work on our \"What\'s In/What\'s Out\" page. I\'m a little concerned about the feasibility of finishing the yearbook on time, but hopefully things will pull themselves together. Things just seem to take two times longer than they should, and it\'s a little difficult to split the students up into groups because usually one task is far more interesting than the other. Worst comes to worst, we can just make the graduation powerpoint and be done with it, although that would be a disappointment.

Without FTP everything is so inconvenient, especially chmoding things.  The permission system on Mac Server sucks... that\'s all I will say.  When I tried to install an extension I have make make certain folder 777 before installing it then reverting it back, the whole process is too tedious.  \n\nAnyway I was trying to install a photo gallery extension and I found out that the PHP version that was preloaded into the server does not have GD library to process photos.  So I searched all around to find out how to install it.  Eventually I came to http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/ which solved my problem by installing PHP 5.1 with GD support.  That\'s when I ended the day on Friday.\n\nToday I came in and right away started working on the gallery component.  It was having trouble creating thumbnails on Friday even after I installed the entropy package so I reinstalled the gallery.  It worked and I uploaded a test album.  All worked.  Then I did some clean up on the example contents.  Oh and I forgot to say I installed a new template on Friday; a kiddish one, but I think it\'s appropriate for a preschool website.\n\nAnyway checkout the site at http://www.woodsonsouth.cps.k12.il.us/cpc/ and try the gallery out.  It\'s power by a component named phoca, pretty slick.  First time I used this component though cause the website I\'m running still has an earlier version of Joomla.\n\nSo the plan is that I show the site the Head Teacher over at CPC on Friday and see how it goes.\n\nOh one more thing, the Mac server keeps stalling on me when I was working on the site... like once every half an hour (probably cause it\'s old), and furthering my hate toward Mac servers. \n\nWell it was a fun project, launching a professional looking website is just so easy with Joomla, I highly recommend this piece of software.\n\n\n(Optional) Thought for the week: No Macs for Life!\n\n(Optional) What’s playing now?: Little kids music\n\n(Optional) What’s been good to read lately?: My own lips','Woodson Week 7 Friday and Week 8 Monday: Smell the Brand New Book','','publish','open','closed','','woodson-week-7-friday-and-week-8-monday-smell-the-brand-new-book','','','2008-05-19 15:21:11','2008-05-19 20:21:11','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=515',0,'post','',0),(516,38,'2008-05-22 14:52:10','2008-05-22 19:52:10','<strong>Your Name: Emily</strong>\n\n<strong>Today’s Date:</strong> 2008/5/22\n\n<strong>Day(s) worked or described:</strong> M W Θ\n\n<strong>Total hours for week: 6</strong>\n\n<strong>The School: Fermi</strong>\n\n<strong>Kind of Work:</strong> tech general, tech for project\n\n<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>\n\nMonday was a sloooooooow day. I couldn\'t find much to do, and I\'m somewhat defeated by the mystery of the fax machine, so I spent the day making up a lesson plan for the Yearbook Club\'s concoction of a powerpoint which will run behind the students at graduation.  On Wednesday, however, I ran into an odd problem in Ms. Love\'s room (105). One of her computers was having audio trouble, but it turned out that the problem was not faulty speakers but rather a faulty audio driver. When I uninstalled the driver, unfortunately, the computer got very nervous and refused to respond to the ctrl-alt-del command when starting up. I wasn\'t sure how to deal with this, so I just swapped it out for one of my last good computers from the cabinet. This computer is relatively dysfunctional as well (it is slow slow slow), however, so more work will be needed. Today, the Yearbook Club and I met to put together the powerpoint. We were somewhat stymied by the fact that one of the computers we\'ve been using primarily has acquired the odd habit of shutting down without warning, but we did manage to get some very productive work done. We\'re about halfway there -- hopefully things will keep moving at a relatively speedy and successful pace!','Fermi, Week 8 (Emily)','','publish','open','closed','','fermi-week-8-emily','','','2008-05-22 14:52:10','2008-05-22 19:52:10','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=516',0,'post','',0),(517,48,'2008-05-23 15:13:05','2008-05-23 20:13:05','<strong>Your Name: Joe King</strong><strong></strong>\n\n<strong>Today’s Date:</strong> 2008/05/23\n\n<strong>Day(s) worked or described:</strong> T W Θ\n\n<strong>Total hours for week:5</strong>\n\n<strong>The School:\n</strong><em>Fiske</em>\n\n<strong>Kind of Work:</strong> General Tech and Setup for Tech Fair\n\n<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>This week was mostly used doing setup and takedown over at King for the tech fair, on Tuesday I was only in Fiske for an hour (I had a math midterm Wednesday that I needed to study for) and I just helped out in the lab, there wasn\'t a lot going on.  My brother is graduating from high school tomorrow so I\'m out of town, I actually won\'t be back until Tuesday night so I\'ll only be working Wednesday and Thursday next week.','Fiske Week Eight','','publish','open','closed','','fiske-week-eight','','','2008-05-23 15:13:05','2008-05-23 20:13:05','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=517',0,'post','',0);

I think Ms.  Gates or Mrs. Watson told the teachers to use blogs a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, it was a bit late in the game, as there\'s not much to do now that it\'s the end of the year. They all have blogs set up, but they don\'t remember their passwords. If there could be follow-up over the summer or near the beginning of next school year, I think all of these teachers could end up having viable blogs next year. I created pages for Mrs. Walker and Mrs. Merrick on the shoesmith website because there were supply lists and welcome letters that they wanted up, but I can\'t get access to their blogs, so I just put it on the shoesmith website. These could be transitioned to their blogs later on though.\n\n-The Buzz student magazine blog: They\'re progressing along quite well. I don\'t ever get to meet with them because of time conflicts, so Mr. Willis relays their problems to me and I fix them when I get in. I think they could benefit from some technical assistance for the rest of the school year and next year as well, though.\n\n-Shoesmith website: There\'s always so much going on at Shoesmith and a lot of it doesn\'t get shared with parents/students. I think enough people visit the  website (I put a hits counter on there to track viewers) to justify updating it regularly next year and actively seeking out Shoesmith events and activities to put on the website. This would require some collaboration between next year\'s CUIP student and the administration, just so the student is aware of everything going on with Shoesmith.\n\n-Mrs. Cranley\'s blog: Mrs. Cranley wants to know if her blog will still be around next year even if she\'s not at Shoesmith (that is, of course, not certain but definitely still a secret). I think she wants to use a lot of the things on there as reference so she can start her own blog if she\'s not at a school that CUIP is at (yay! I call that a success).\n\n-Besides these, next year I think Ms. Lee and Mrs. Coleman could do with  continuing on having blogs as well (I\'m sorry about Mrs. Coleman\'s blogs - those just got away from me in the end). Furthermore, I think it would be good to make more of an effort to have administrators publicize the blogs to parents more. This year it was a lot of individual efforts on the part of the teachers and myself, but it would be nice if the school made it known to the parents. In any case, knowing that the blogs were being used would be an incentive for the teachers to actually make use  of their blogs (I think that was a problem this year - the feeling that \"oh, why am I spending my time doing this if nobody is viewing it?\") \n\nOk, that\'s all for me, I think. Thanks CUIP for a great year of work - I\'ve enjoyed my time here and at Shoesmith and it\'s been an awesome experience overall.

I came in to the news that the internet was down in rm. 121. The problem resided in that same darn fool hub that Ms. Netti\'s computer used to be plugged into -- as Dana discovered many weeks ago, it doesn\'t seem to work when all of the ports are filled up. However, someone keeps plugging cables into it with wild abandon, so I judiciously unplugged a few cables and things started to work again. Unfortunately, these student computers weren\'t given wireless! In the course of fixing this problem, I ran into another issue: the computer in the teacher\'s lounge is having wireless trouble, something about \"authentication failing\". I wasn\'t sure what to do about this, since I don\'t know much about the wireless setup at Fermi, but there seemed to be some disjunction between what the wireless card thought its security setting was (a PSK) and what its settings actually are (plain old WPA/password). It\'s still up in the air -- I just connected the computer back to the crappy hub in 121 and let it be for now. Dr. Cima was also having some odd problem with his computer that was solved by restarting it, as was Ms. Alexander (palms were freezing when syncing -- restarted -- presto bango, problem solved). After dealing with these problems, I thought I\'d make an attempt to further refurbish the computer I\'d given to Ms. Love, but she wasn\'t in so I amused myself by looking up more powerpoint tricks. These weren\'t useful on Thursday, however, since the yearbook student whose camera we\'ve been using was absent and the computer on which we\'ve been storing our photos has come down with some pernicious disease which causes it to shut down completely at irregular and unanticipated intervals. We weren\'t going to be able to get much work done in this situation, so I sent the students back to class. Fortunately, Mr. Laws came through with a project for me. He wanted to make it so that the security cameras appear in a certain order on his RapidEye display. I discovered that the way to do this was to go up to the MDF room and physically rearrange the camera cables so that they aligned to the order he wanted, then to change the names of each camera on the computer which directly controls the unit.

Teachers seem to be just finishing up for the year, so I spent my time in the lab.  It seems that the computers there are just old, and I think the hardware itself is dying, because I couldn\'t really find an explanation as to why some were running shower than others. I reimaged one machine last week, but it was still the same. A number of them also have strange graphical glitches on the desktop, not sure what to make of it.\n\nAlso, I think someone might have been installing some sort of obnoxious bug on a few computers which just kept opening tons of applications. Couldn\'t find it in the task manager, but wowexec.exe (which I think manages 16-bit apps) was running, so I think it was using that.  I started a virus scan, but honestly I forgot I was doing if because it was taking so long and left without checking the results...\n\nThere\'s probably another explanation for all of this, because it seems a little beyond 2nd graders to be bugging these ( I didn\'t experiment with loading a bunch of things manually to get the same result 1 maybe these are slow enough that these works)\n\nI\'m going to send an e-mail to Ms. Hollings now, but at this point I\'m not sure if I\'ll work next week or not ( this issue went away once I closed the two sets of windows that popped up)','Fiske Week Nine','','publish','open','closed','','fiske-week-nine','','','2008-05-30 13:15:17','2008-05-30 18:15:17','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=527',0,'post','',0),(528,42,'2008-05-30 13:52:08','2008-05-30 18:52:08','<strong>Your Name</strong>: Clare Wolfe\n\n<strong>Today’s Date:</strong> 2008/05/18\n\n<strong>Day(s) worked or described:</strong>Thurs, Fri\n\n<strong>Total hours for week:</strong>8 9\n\n<strong>The School:</strong> Till\n\n<strong>Main Narrative: The Tech Expo went off really well and the Till reptile powerpoints look really wonderful.

I won\'t bore you with the details, save that the graphics cards, which I thought had uniformly failed, are all now working again.\n\nI\'ve included inline my note to the next CUIP tech stationed at Canter, and will soon email it to Russ, Mitch, and Ms. Ahad so that it can be passed on.\n\n<!--more-->\n\n/*NOTE TO NEXT CUIP TECH*/\n\nASSET DISPOSAL\n==============\n\nThe following can all be disposed of in accordance with OTS rules:\n4 computers, 2 monitors, on and under leftmost desk in Room 207\n2 computers, 2 monitors, beneath desk with microwave, in Teacher\'s Lounge\n8 computers, 5 monitors, on desks in computer lab (leave 5 monitors closest to window)\nAll the peripherals under the desk in the computer lab (the one with monitors to be disposed of)\nScrews, hard drives, and hard drive casings that are in between the monitors to be disposed of and the CPUs to be disposed of.\nDon\'t know what the deal is with bright orange crate on desk. Maybe salvage some of the equipment inside, if Russ knows anything about it?\n\nThe form can be found here (you need to be on the CPS intranet): http://ots.cps.k12.il.us/disposalservices/assetdisposalsurvey.aspx\n\nSTUFF IN THE CLOSET\n==============\n\nThere are a few IDE cables in the closet, tons of power cables, some networks cables, a serial cable or two, several keyboards and mouses, two surge suppressors (they may just be power strips) and a speaker set. There are eight graphics cards on one of the shelves, all of which worked when last I tried them (although there was a brief period during which *none* of them worked). The ones that look odd, i.e. non-traditional PCI, will only work on Compaq AP400. On the shelf to the left of that, there are three graphics cards and several modules of RAM. All those graphics cards should be tested; all the RAM worked when last I tested it, but are either 32 or 64 MB modules.\n\nThere are six stacked computers in the closet, all of which are working, have Windows 2K, and at least 128 MB of RAM. Feel free to disseminate these around the school, or salvage a RAM module or two from a computer. Also feel free to use the monitors in the closet and nearest the window.\n\nThe Acer Veriton 7100 in the closet (on right) needs either a re-installation of W2K, or a new HD (or both). The Seagate that\'s on top is *definitely* bad, but the Maxtor might be worth a try. If you can\'t get it working, make sure to save the 256 MB RAM module that\'s inside.\n\nPRINTERS, MISC.\n==============\n\nThere IS a toner for Brother HL5170, but the one in the lab on the cart has a bad drum unit which produces scratched-up print jobs. There\'s another Brother HL5170 in the Teacher\'s Lounge with no drum unit. I don\'t think there\'s a cartridge for the Lexmark Optra S2455, but it\'s worth checking.\n\nThe W2K CD that Mitch gave me worked well, except it was never able to copy the file gm.dls. I believe it\'s related to the default sound drivers. You might want to check all the computers in the closet, as well as the student computer in room 106 (what was Mr. Fishbein\'s room when I was working here) to see if the file ever successfully made it over. If it becomes pertinent (i.e. the sound doesn\'t work), you can find a copy on any of the W2K computers in rows C or E (read below), and copy it over to the proper directory.\n\nI never got around to figuring out what was the deal with the computer on the SHOESMITH domain that\'s picked up by the ADM website. See if Russ or Mitch know anything about it - it might be in the MDF room.\n\nIf Ms. LaCour, in the main office, needs help with figuring out the financial-record-keeping software, maybe write up some directions. There\'s a tricky bit about importing that might take a few minutes to puzzle out.\n\nDo me a favor and make sure that the descriptions on computers C3, E1, and E5 are okay, i.e. the same style as the rest of the descriptions. Access/change the descriptions on W2K computers by going to My Computer-->Manage-->Computer Information-->Properties-->Network Information tab.\n\nAs for the naming system in the lab, the computer nearest the door is A1. B1 is the rightmost computer against the far wall/chalkboard. C1 is the rightmost computer against the window. D1 is the leftmost Dell computer of the row in the middle (leftmost as you face the window), and E1 is right across from D5.\n\nGood luck!

In fact, two teachers cancelled their scheduled slot today because of this deathly heat.\n\nAnyway, there are still several jobs that I did not get a chance to finish. One involves the rather large Lexmark laser printer that mysteriously appeared in the computer lab one morning. Apart from a half-broken LCD screen, it still has a very, very large cartridge full of toner, a good drum, and has both ethernet and parallel interfaces. The page count shows a whopping 121786 pages printed in the last ten years. If this can be configured as a backup printer for the lab, it should be useful for many more years.\n\nFor disposal, I\'ve marked 4 CRT monitors and 3 non-functioning computers into the CPS Asset Disposal form. These have already been moved to the designated basement room (by hand, no less).\n\nThere are several more working Pentium III computers in the storage room (5, i think) plus 4 Pentium II and III laptops that I haven\'t gotten to. These computers may be somewhat old, but they still work. They probably won\'t run windows and the school\'s cocktail of background programs, but they may still work as simple web-browsing terminals. This is a far-fetched idea, but what if we get a lightweight Linux install on these computers? It may be a way to get some more use out of the machines, and with something stable like Debian, nothing short of a hardware failure should be able to break them.\n\nOther than that, I have little more to say.

I quickly solved a problem with the internet in 120, and then met Sara in the computer lab.  She let me know about educational software that needed to be installed in 118, so I took care of that.  I then went to the library to check out the rarely used computers in there.  They were in a state of disrepair.  Some were unplugged, and others lacked keyboards or mice.  I spent the rest of the day Wednesday fixing them up.\n\nFriday was more of the same.  One of the computers in the library wouldn\'t work, so I had to drag a bunch of monitors and consoles up and down the stairs from the library to the computer lab, until I found a working set.  I found all the mice and keyboards that I could, although there are still more keyboards in the lab that I need to grab.

On Wednesday, I first worked on various minor tech issues, including setting up the touchscreen computers in 106.  One of them doesn\'t seem to work, however.  Sara and I looked at the computers in the library again, which are getting there, but are in need of some keyboards and mice.  The ten new mice that we are ordering will be very helpful.\n\nFriday was pretty uneventful, because a lot of teachers left early to enjoy their three day weekend.  I spent a lot of the time helping Ms. Burress-Gaines set up one of her computers in 103.  It was running really slowly, but eventually sped up.  Then I encountered a problem that Mitch warned me about.  One of the teachers who uses a laptop wanting to get on to the school\'s wireless network, but the laptop seemed unable to detect the network.  I think I\'m going to need the SSID and password that Mitch mentioned, and then I need to fiddle around with it for a while.  I felt kind of bad leaving the poor woman with no answers, so we need to get on this next week.','Week 2 At Fermi','','publish','open','closed','','week-2-at-fermi','','','2008-10-13 02:30:10','2008-10-13 07:30:10','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=541',0,'post','',1),(547,33,'2008-10-17 10:24:48','2008-10-17 15:24:48','<div class=\"main\">\n<div class=\"main\">\n\n<strong>Your Name: Jackson Wright</strong>\n<div class=\"main\">\n<div class=\"main\">\n<div class=\"main\">\n\n<strong></strong><strong>Today’s Date:</strong> 2008/10/17 [2008/10/13]\n\n<strong>Day(s) worked or described:</strong> W F\n\n<strong>Total hours for week: <span>4</span></strong>\n\n<strong>The School: Mollison</strong><em>\n</em>\n\n<strong>Kind of Work:</strong> Tech general, Lab supervision\n\n<strong>Main Report or Narrative:</strong>\n\nThe title really says it all.  These donated Lexmark Optra M412\'s seriously are starting to piss me off.  Not one of them is free from the defect of having some bits of ink splash out in horizontal lines on the page.  What I don\'t understand is the resilience of said lines against my frequent thrashings (and cleanings with paper products.)  I would like a printer that prints things well.  :(\n\nThat\'s literally all that\'s been happening.  Oh, I added a nifty Study Island button to the homepage here.\n\nhttp://schools.cuip.net/mollison/\n\nYeah, I photoshooped that pretty well.  One thing worth checking out when you aren\'t on a CPS machine is http://www.photofunia.com/  I\'m not sure why CPS blocks it, other than it being entirely for fun and devoid of any educational value.  Oh wait...sounds like Study Island!  (Just kidding, folks.)</div>\n</div>\n<div class=\"main\"><strong>Currently Listening To:</strong> The general hum and surprising quiet of Mollison\'s upper floor.</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>','Mollison Week 3: Pernicious Printers\' Penumbras Permeate My Person','','publish','open','closed','','mollison-week-3-pernicious-printers-penumbras-permeate-my-person','','','2008-10-17 10:24:48','2008-10-17 15:24:48','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=547',0,'post','',0),(549,45,'2008-10-17 16:53:55','2008-10-17 21:53:55','Week 2- went in, met with folks, started doing inventory.

style=\"normal;\">Last week was my first week back at Fiske, and Mr. Miller definitely has some huge plans for the school which are very exciting.<span> </span>First of all, however, I should touch on what I was able to do last week.<span> </span>For all but about thirty minutes of the four hours I worked I wandered the halls compiling a technology assessment to see what teachers had in their rooms, but more importantly introduce myself and make sure everything was working properly (as well as ask them what they’d like to see in terms of technology instruction this year).<span> </span>It seemed like most things were working properly, just a monitor to plug in here or a printer to install.<span> </span>One of the teachers (the music teacher) asked if there were any programs she could use on her windows pc in the same vein as garage band.<span> </span>I haven’t gotten a chance to see if anything like that exists, does anyone here know?</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormalCxSpMiddle\" style=\"normal;\">On the larger scale, Mr. Miller wants to do a lot with technology this year.<span> </span>First of all, he’s looking to set up a “digital storytelling” project for the kids where they make power point presentations to tell a story.<span> </span>If we can get machines working well enough to do it, he’d like to have them use some of the cameras that Fiske has (I haven’t seen them so I don’t know what they are) so that they can put pictures in as well.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormalCxSpMiddle\" style=\"normal;\">Secondly, he has 80 new desktops coming in during the first week or two of November.<span> </span>I’m not sure exactly what all of his plans are for them, but I think he at least wants to replace the ancient machines in these labs and would also like to make sure each classroom has some sort of computing available.<span> </span>Due to this, I haven’t really spent much time with the machines in the labs, although I also haven’t received any complaints about them yet.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormalCxSpMiddle\" style=\"normal;\">Thirdly, Mr. Miller and Ms. Hicks got a number of older iMacs from a school auction last weekend (they’re the ones with the colorful big bubble shape), which I think they want to have so that students have some familiarity with mac os.<span> </span>I played around with one today, but it’s running the original Mac OS X (Cheetah I think), which, after a little wiki’ing (I have little experience with macs) I found is a pretty useless build.<span> </span>Ms. Hicks says she has a Panther build which she thinks can run on them, and that would allow them to use Safari/Word/etc.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormalCxSpMiddle\" style=\"normal;\">That’s about it for now, I have quite possibly the busiest week I will ever have at this school this week so I may not work on Thursday (I’ve already talked to Mr. Miller about it).<span> </span>I will be in tomorrow, however, and I think I’ve fixed my schedule so that I can be everywhere I need to be at the right times now (Sorry about not being there at 10 last Thursday, Mitch, I got tied up on campus and didn’t get here until 11—Ms. Hollings told me that I missed you by about a minute).</p>\n\n<strong>(Optional) Thought for the week:</strong> There\'s not enough time in a day... it would be very nice to be able to slow down time to 1/2 speed.','Fiske Week

or otherwise don\'t work.  My rationale is that we have a limited amount of RAM, and a limited amount of time, so we should use it to fix up the 5200D\'s and 5500s, which will actually be decently fast once they work.  The 5100s are just never going to be very good.\n\nOn Friday, I began testing monitors and keyboards.  I put all of the non-working ones on the trash pile, so we are now up to 25

I also ran all the CPS scripts and installed MS Office, so that computer is up and running. On Tuesday all the students were testing and Ms. Banks didn\'t have anything to do in the lab so it was back to the library to work on getting another donated computer running. To find drivers, I ended up downloading a program from sourceforge that identifies devices that Windows can\'t (it couldn\'t identify the graphics or network cards). Once I knew what the devices were, Intel has a very nice site where drivers are easy to find (and they still have W2K drivers up there, which surprised me since it\'s no longer supported by Microsoft...). I got another dell completely up and running (I did the CPS scripts and installed office), then discovered that the disc I had been using to install W2K was no longer functioning (at least on the two dells that I lugged over and hooked up to the monitor). I\'ll try to find a working disc lying around somewhere next week, or hopefully Ms. Banks will have something for me to do.','Week 2 at Canter','','publish','open','closed','','week-2-at-canter','','','2008-10-24 14:00:32','2008-10-24 19:00:32','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=583',0,'post','',1),(585,45,'2008-10-24 16:58:39','2008-10-24 21:58:39','<strong>Your Name: Rafael Menis</strong><strong></strong>\n\n<strong>Today’s Date:</strong> 2008/10/24\n\n<strong>Day(s) worked or described:</strong> M\n\n<strong>Total hours for week: 4\n</strong>\n\n<strong>The School: School of Entrepreneurship</strong><em>\n</em>\n\n<strong>Kind of Work:</strong> Inventory\n\n<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>Further inventory.

I don\'t know what\'s going on in the library right now, but last time I was there it seemed that the other Ms Johnson had moved her computers to a location where they couldn\'t be plugged into the Ethernet (even if we had enough long CAT5 cables, the routing would be very bad).  A few of the computers have wireless cards, and if there are any sitting around in storage, maybe someone could look into installing them (again, I could probably do this, but only if I ever get around to it, since Ms Johnson my supervisor was sort of nonplussed by other Ms Johnson\'s reorganization of the computers without regard to Ethernet ports).','Woodlawn: Week

Fermi, because I met my new partner, Cliff.  On Wednesday, Mitch and I showed him the ropes a little bit and we got one of Mitch\'s laptops connected to the Fermi wireless network.  The other one has some weird Windows setup that couldn\'t seem to do anything.  Cliff and I spent the rest of the day trying to get RAM into computers and testing monitors and such.  For some reason, the RAM wouldn\'t go into some of the computers.  I don\'t know if that is just us being clumsy or what.\n\nFriday was a slower day, because most teachers and students were gone for a staff development day.  We spent most of the day cleaning up the lab.  Duplicate manuals and broken equipment were thrown away, and everything else was organized.  It\'s looking a lot better in there now, but we still have some big old printers and copiers lying around that we don\'t know what to do with.  Mr. Laws is having a problem with Rapid Eye that I wasn\'t sure how to fix.  The video feeds from some of his cameras are incredibly slow.  They have apparently called someone to come out and take a look at it, which is good, because I was stumped.</div>','Week 4 at

</strong>So Week 4 was my first (and by far hardest) week of midterms, and I had talked to Mr. Miller about taking Thursday to study, which I did, so I was only at Fiske Monday and Tuesday.  Not a whole lot was going on last week, however, as I spent my time toying around with the iMacs Mr. Miller had procured for the school.  It looks like they need an updated OS to really do anything, but another teacher said she was looking into getting it for them (I don\'t know a whole lot about macs, but apparently they had the first OS X build, which according to Wikipedia is pretty buggy)\n\nOtherwise I worked on some printer issues for teachers and finished up my survey of the computers in all of the rooms--they seem to be working more or less fine (although some are pretty slow).  We have a list of things the teachers would like to get instruction on either for themselves or students.  The teachers mostly asked for help learning how to blog, make wiki\'s, podcasts, and some general office help.  They pretty much all asked if we could teach their students typing skills, and after that ms office.\n\nOverall, it seems like everything is working reasonably well--I have some requests for training in setting up things like projectors, but the equipment itself seems to be working.\n\nI have midterms again this week, but it\'s manageable this time, so I\'ll be in M/T/Th (I have no clue what the acii code for omega is) .  Also, I apologize that I keep turning these in late, I always forget until I get in on Monday (but I made myself a reminder for Thursday to do it

the printer in room 211.( I can force a page through, but I can\'t get anything to print from word or notepad or the \"print test page\" in the properties box\". I\'ve tried  some basics including, turning everything off and on,  trying different connections, following the help and support center\'s trouble shooting advice, etc.)\n\nThen I ran into Shaz and we spent the remainder of that day talking to Ms. Johnson about her planned blog and video project for counting and reading with first graders.  I\'ll start really work on that when I next return.\n\nFriday Mr. Kelgatti asked me to make a round of the school to see how all the teachers are doing, which took most of the day.  Most problems are with printers; rooms 201, 205, as well as still rooms 211 and 105 need help.  During the rounds I managed to fix a couple internet connections the printer in 204, but I wanted to make it through most of the classes, so I didn\'t spent too much time in any one.  Also, I think a tiny bolt is missing in the monitor plug in one of the computers in room 215, so  sometimes the monitor  disconnects.   Before I left I stopped by Ms. Johnson\'s again to see how her ideas are coming along.  Hopefully we can get this project progressing quickly.','Reavis Week 4','','publish','open','closed','','601','','','2008-10-28 23:12:58','2008-10-29 04:12:58','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=601',0,'post','',0),(605,48,'2008-10-30 12:23:54','0000-00-00 00:00:00','<strong>Your Name: Joseph King</strong><strong></strong>\n\n<strong>Today’s Date:</strong> 2008/10/30\n\n<strong>Day(s) worked or described:</strong> M T Θ\n\n<strong>Total hours for week: 6</strong>\n\n<strong>The School:\n</strong><em>Fiske</em>\n\n<strong>Kind of Work:</strong> Tech general, Lab supervision\n\n<strong>Main Report or Narrative:</strong>','Fiske Week Five: Strangest Computer Ever','','draft','open','closed','','','','','2008-10-30 12:23:54','0000-00-00 00:00:00','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=605',0,'post','',0),(606,49,'2008-10-31 14:51:41','2008-10-31 19:51:41','<strong>Your Name:</strong> Tommy Butterfoss<strong></strong>\n\n<strong>Today’s Date:</strong> 2008/10/28\n\n<strong>Day(s) worked or described:</strong> M T\n\n<strong>Total hours for week: </strong>6\n\n<strong>The School: </strong>Canter<strong><em> </em></strong><em>\n</em>\n\n<strong>Kind of Work:</strong> Tech general, Lab supervision\n\n<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>On Monday students were testing in the library and Ms. Banks said everything was working fine in the lab, so she sent me around to ask teachers if they needed anything.

I went back to the lab and Ms. Banks told me to wait around for something to break or a student to ask a question. Sure enough, the printer broke. After a few minutes of fiddling with it and getting more paper, we discovered that there was a sheet of labels jammed in the toner. Who knows where that came from. The students were done testing so I got started on getting another dell up and running. The next day everything in the lab was fine so I just went to the library and finished up that dell and another one, which was the last dell I could see in the room. Ms. Banks also told me that once they get cables for the printers I can look at them and start moving them into classrooms.

Many of the older IBMs dumped there were simply a bit slow, and defragmenting them as well as increasing VRAM worked wonders.\n\nAn issue that remains to be solved is the problem of some teachers not being able to save to their documents folder, which is mapped to ray-srv02. According to Mrs. Zivko, there are now at least five teachers who have reported this, and I can confirm it\'s true for three teachers. On that note, some time it may be a good idea to migrate the staff folder to a larger partition on ray-srv01. As it is now, its current partition only has about 2GB free.\n\nI worked with Max and set up a structure for the drop box that Ms. Zivko wanted. These are under the mapped drive T, and accessible from all student accounts. As permissions are set, students can save to it and modify their own documents but cannot view folder contents or other documents, and all staff can view and modify.\n\nThat\'s all I can think of now. I\'ll be in touch by email and would be glad to help if anything comes up.\n\nHave a happy holidays!','Ray Weeks 10-11','','publish','open','closed','','ray-weeks-9-10','','','2009-12-10 16:53:44','2009-12-10 21:53:44','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=635',0,'post','',0),(637,35,'2010-06-15 09:51:52','0000-00-00 00:00:00','I know... I haven\'t submitted any reports this quarter. Hopefully this report can cover some more ground than usual and capture a bit of a snapshot of technology at Ray. I will divide the report by topic.\n\n<strong>Printers</strong>\n\nMy work at Ray has changed a lot, but printer problems have remained stubbornly constant. Most of the problems stem from not being able to print to a shared printer, as teachers move printers around or the sharing computer is off or offline. One mistake I made my first year was using its IP address rather than the more stable network name.\n\n<strong>Computer Lab</strong>\n\nHaving the resources to get modern Core 2 Duo computers and upgrade all memory to 1-2 GB is certainly not a privilege most schools have. (Neither is having both a projector and a separate smartboard.) I\'m glad that Ms. Zivko\'s presence convinced the office to address certain inefficiencies in the technology, such as ordering spare bulbs for CPS discontinued projectors instead of waiting for a new model.\n\n<strong>DVD Playback</strong>\n\nChoppy video/sound playback from DVD was a problem I encountered on over 6 computers. In each case, it was the IDE controller configuration in Windows that was reverting to the old and slow PIO transfer mode, instead of a faster DMA variant. The fix is to go to the device manager, find the IDE controller for the drive, and uninstall, then reboot. There is a Visual Basic script that does this fix automatically, here:\n\nhttp://winhlp.com/node/10\n\n<strong>Misc. Software Updates</strong>\n\nSome of the CPS updates are really taking their toll on computers, particularly ones with less than 512 MB ram. While windows updates have filled up some older 10 GB partitions completely, McAfee has slowed even newer computers to a crawl, with times when the process takes over 50% of CPU as the computer sits idle.\n\nIt\'s been a great 3 years working at Ray and with CUIP.

Well then why do we have it here?\"  To alleviate this, we sorted out all unused equipment into working and non-working piles.  Then this equipment was moved to room 224, one of Fermi\'s unused storage rooms.  The non-working equipment was placed in the back of the room, away from everything else so that it wouldn\'t be mistaken for usable equipment.  The stuff that still worked was placed at the front of the room so that we will have access to it if it is needed at a later date. \n\nOn Friday, Dana set up a computer in 206.  This later turned out to be unnecessary, because the occupant of that room got a laptop.  Other than that, he continued the process of moving equipment from the lab to 224. \n\nAside from that it was fairly quite this week, a few teachers with login problems, mainly because the \"log in as:\" box was incorrect or they didn\'t have thier CPS password and username yet.  Mr. Laws\' Rapid Eye program was acting up, and after looking at it, there was really nothing we could do.\n\nSo overall, we solved the technical problems we could and made major headway in getting the school\'s technical equipment organized.  Hopefully now we can start focusing on getting more computers up and running, or beginning a collaboration with the teachers for interactive projects.','Week 5 Cleaning Up Shop at Fermi Elementary','','publish','open','closed','','week-5-cleaning-up-shop-at-fermi-elementary','','','2008-11-05 16:03:12','2008-11-05 21:03:12','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=638',0,'post','',0),(640,48,'2008-11-06 12:41:12','2008-11-06 17:41:12','<strong>Your Name: Joe King</strong><strong></strong>\n\n<strong>Today’s Date:</strong> 2008/06/11\n\n<strong>Day(s) worked or described:</strong> M Θ (teachers weren\'t here on Tuesday for election day)\n\n<strong>Total hours for week: 4</strong>\n\n<strong>The School:\n</strong><em>Fiske</em>\n\n<strong>Kind of Work:</strong> Tech general, Project Prep\n\n<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>This week I spent some time working on the computers in the 202 lab--two had ethernet cards whose ethernet ports had broken off (I actually had one of the two break on me when I tried to plug in a cord--I believe the soldering has worn down).  I was able to find a replacement card for one, but if we\'re getting new computers soon I\'m not too worried about replacing the other one (this lab is never completely full).\n\nI\'ve also been working with Mr. Miller on doing a presentation during the inservice next Monday, it\'s going to be a tutorial of an internet website which simulates something like a powerpoint presentation, but only has a few features so is simple for the kids to use (and it lets them import pictures really easily).  Should make for some fun.\n\nOther than that, things have been fairly quiet, the teachers for the most part weren\'t here on Tuesday, so it was a short week.  Here\'s to hoping those new computers are coming...

One of them was fortunately fixable via a complete reinstallation of Windows. I hunted down the various tools to set computer name, install accounts, rejoin domain, install the Cisco wireless driver after a ridiculous 20 minute registration process, graphics, audio, chipset drivers, and standard programs like office and Acrobat reader. I can\'t seem to find the installation files for Accelerated Reader though.

The computer lab also has a computer that has become increasingly unstable (IBM, second from the right in the second to back row).

I also discovered that the storage room was locked and that the person who had the key was out for the day, with the keys. After double-checking with Ms. Banks to make sure there was nothing for me to do in the lab, I finally got a janitor to open it up for me, and spent a while hauling a few computers over to the library to check if they were functioning or not. After getting a Compaq started with W2K, I checked in at the lab to discover that a mouse was not working. Ms. Banks had extras, but no extra USB mice and this computer only had USB ports. So I hunted around the myriad boxes in the storage room and found plenty of mice, but no USB ones. Then I tried to see if I could fix the mouse. I tried it in a few computers, which all recognized it, but it still wouln\'t move the cursor around the screen. Then I noticed it was really dusty and blew in the usb jack (a little trick I learned in my youth playing N64) and it worked. Go figure. Then I went back to the lab to discover that the Compaq had failed somewhere and began to retry it when Mitch showed up with the other Canter CUIP student, Jim. He showed us how to use ghost to set it up, which ultimately failed. The next day Ms. Banks didn\'t have anything for me so I just used the W2K installer disk on the compaq and it worked, then I hunted down a bunch of drivers, ran the CPS scripts, intalled office, etc. After finishing that one, I started another one, but I still need to get a few drivers for it.','Week 4 at Canter','','publish','open','closed','','week-4-at-canter','','','2008-11-07 16:18:11','2008-11-07 21:18:11','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=652',0,'post','',1),(654,53,'2008-11-07 18:15:17','2008-11-07 23:15:17','<div class=\"main\">\n\n<strong>Your Name:</strong> Christopher Neyor\n\n<strong></strong><strong>Today’s Date:</strong> 7 Novermber 2008\n<div class=\"main\">\n<div class=\"main\">\n<div class=\"main\">\n\n<strong>Day(s) worked or described:</strong> Wednesday, Friday\n\n<strong>Total hours for week: </strong>6\n\n<strong>The School:</strong> Wadsworth Elementary\n\n<strong>Kind of Work:</strong> Tech General, Inventory\n\n<strong>Main Report or Narrative:</strong>\n\nThis week, I continued to work through all the computers that were in the lab, and I have been making some progress.  I was get the computer I was having issues with on the domain, and I also got the sound driver on there so its ready to go.  I was able to get through many computers, and most only had minor issues, foremost being the sound drivers.  I was able to find all the drivers for the NetVista on the Lenovo IBM website, so that has made fixing driver problems alot easier.  I did run into a problem today with one of the new NetVista because it refused to play sounds even with the proper drivers installed.   Also, I ran into a computer where I had to reinstall the OS, and that been without any real issues.</div>\n<div class=\"main\">On Friday, I also worked with a few teachers who were having issues.  I was able to show Mrs. Whitfield how to get onto gradebook through the remote server because she wanted to work on logging her grades at home.  They were working to get their grades into the new gradebook system, as they are coming due, and they didn\'t seem to be very comfortable with the new system.   There was also another teacher who was having trouble with grade weighting in the new gradebook system, but I wasn\'t really able to help him out, as I\'m not really familar with the program.</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>','Week 6 at Wadsworth','','publish','open','closed','','week-6-at-wadsworth','','','2008-11-07 18:15:17','2008-11-07 23:15:17','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=654',0,'post','',1),(658,54,'2008-11-09 18:53:45','2008-11-09 23:53:45','<strong>Your Name: <span style=\"normal;\">Riley Kreger</span></strong><strong></strong>\n\n<strong>Today’s Date:</strong> 2008/11/09\n\n<strong>Day(s) worked or described:</strong> T W Θ\n\n<strong>Total hours for week: 6</strong>\n\n<strong>The School:<em> </em><span style=\"normal;\">Emmett Till</span></strong>\n\n<strong>Kind of Work:</strong> Tech general, Project documentation\n\n<strong>Main Report or Narrative: <span style=\"normal;\">I was unable to go to my site on Monday, as I had a prescheduled meeting with my academic advisor.

I found a compaq [now sitting on the top of the dell computer on the desk in the library.] which would not run windows, and when I attempted to reinstall windows on it, it would just lag and refuse to complete the install.  Ugh.  I brought another computer in my next work day, a dell, and I was able to install W2k on it, but for whatever reason, it would not connect to the network.  During my troubleshooting, the janitor needed me to get out to wax the floors, so I did.  I\'ll continue my work on this computer on Thursday.\n\nI also spent some time working on a jam that one of the printers had, and showing one of the teachers how to switch which printer her printed pages comes out on.  I was also sent to --- I believe, room 102, where I had to set up a printer for the class.  Apparently, the printer will only be used by one girl who seems to have some special-ed needs and has some sort of a typing device that I\'ve never seen before.  I asked the teacher about it, and she was unsure of how it was supposed to connect to the printer --- and I\'m not sure if she ever gave me a straight answer on what it actually WAS.  I asked if there will be a computer connected to the printer, and the teacher said that a personal computer will be brought in.  I suppose I\'ll connect it when I go into work on thursday, and go from there.','Canter - Week 5.','','publish','open','closed','','canter-week-5','','','2008-11-12 14:49:02','2008-11-12 19:49:02','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=670',0,'post','',0),(673,48,'2008-11-13 12:39:02','2008-11-13 17:39:02','<strong>Your Name: Joe King</strong><strong></strong>\n\n<strong>Today’s Date:</strong> 2008/11/13\n\n<strong>Day(s) worked or described:</strong> M  Θ\n\n<strong>Total hours for week: 4</strong>\n\n<strong>The School:\n</strong><em>Fiske</em>\n\n<strong>Kind of Work:</strong> Tech general, Project Culmination\n\n<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>Again I only worked two days this week since Tuesday was veteran\'s day and there was no school.  On Monday, Russ, Mr. Miller, another teacher and I lead a tutorial on using Voicethread to make presentations as part of a \"digital storytelling\" activity we want to run in the school.  It went alright, but after doing it we all pretty much agreed that it would be better to simply teach them powerpoint, so now we\'re going to set up a larger initiative doing that.  The idea is to get the kids to storyboard something and then put it into a presentation (I think we\'ll call it a \"movie\") where they tell a story.  Should be interesting.\n\nOther than that, I\'ve been working on a teacher\'s computer today setting up some priveledges that were messed up somehow.  Still waiting on the new computers though so things are still pretty quiet around here.  We haven\'t gotten any additional information about them, so at this point I just hope they\'re coming... the computers in the lab at this point work \"well enough\" to use, and trying to do anything more with them is pretty futile.','Fiske Week 7','','publish','open','closed','','fiske-week-7','','','2008-11-13 12:39:02','2008-11-13 17:39:02','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=673',0,'post','',0),(675,17,'2008-11-13 17:11:54','0000-00-00 00:00:00','Your Name: Li An Kwan\n\nToday’s Date: 2008/11/14 [7th Week]\n\nDay(s) worked or described: Θ F (erase the letters for days you weren’t there)\n\nTotal hours for week: 4\n\nThe School: Woodson\n\nKind of Work: Tech general\n\nMain Report or Narrative:\n\nThursday: Report card pick up day for Mr. Spearman so he left early.

The 5200 image was good except that it skipped the login screen and went straight to the desktop.  Even if we logged off, it would jump right back to the desktop.  So for the moment, our main goal is to update the images and get everything working correctly.\n\nSara also hooked it up with some awesome ethernet cables, a wireless adapter for a teacher\'s PC, and some other cool stuff we have been needing.  We were able to connect the computers in the library to the internet thanks to those cables.  However, we haven\'t yet run met with the teacher to get the internet on his PC up, so that will be a goal for next week.\n\nOne development we are excited about is teacher involvment in projects.  Thus far, the teachers have not been keen on using the labs or assigning projects involving technology.  However, on Monday, Sara met with the teachers to give them a rundown of what is available with the use of computers here.  She got alot of positive feedback so hopefully we will start helping teachers with classroom projects featuring technology very soon.','Week 7- The table was very unstable','','publish','open','closed','','week-7-the-table-was-very-unstable','','','2008-11-14 16:08:16','2008-11-14 21:08:16','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=680',0,'post','',0),(682,49,'2008-11-14 16:28:17','2008-11-14 21:28:17','<strong>Your Name: </strong>Tommy Butterfoss<strong></strong>\n\n<strong>Today’s Date:</strong> 11/11/08\n\n<strong>Day(s) worked or described:</strong>\n\n<strong>Total hours for week: 0\n</strong>\n\n<strong>The School:<em> </em></strong>Canter\n\n<strong>Kind of Work:</strong>\n\n<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>Monday was a staff development day and Tuesday was Veterans\' day, so I didn\'t get to work this week.','Week 6 at Canter','','publish','open','closed','','week-6-at-canter','','','2008-11-14 16:28:17','2008-11-14 21:28:17','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=682',0,'post','',0),(683,45,'2008-11-14 16:29:44','2008-11-14 21:29:44','<div class=\"main\">\n<div class=\"main\">\n<div class=\"main\">\n\n<strong>Your Name: Rafael Menis</strong><strong></strong>\n\n<strong>Today’s Date:</strong> 2008/11/14\n\n<strong>Day(s) worked or described:</strong> M\n\n<strong>Total hours for week: 4\n</strong>\n\n<strong>The School: School of Entrepreneurship</strong><em>\n</em>\n\n<strong>Kind of Work:</strong> Installation.\n\n<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>Inventory went on hiatus due to lack of notes.

(I love it when that works)  Took a little while to figure out how to reset it (button on the back), but now we have 60 mobile typing stations for students to use which will all have internet once we get wireless set up... or should I say if we get wireless.  They\'re all brand new, too, which is very exciting.  Looks like Fiske might be on track to fulfilling its \"tech academy\" status... well, if we ever get these new computers.\n\nAs for the aforementioned computers, we\'re still waiting...

I also moved all of the computer stuff out of the library and set up a new workstation in the corner of the lab, as Russ told me to do. I finished off the day helping out Ms. Smith in room 207. One of the computers in her room stopped working (a power supply issue, we think) and she couldn\'t print from any of her computers. Turned out that the printer was connected to the network through the computer that had stopped working, so I set it up in one of the functioning computers, got the drivers, and made sure it worked. On Tuesday, I used the workstation in the lab to work on some of the donated computers (it seems like there is an infinite number of those). I got one compaq up and running, but another one froze on start-up, so I tried repairing the W2K install, which didn\'t fix anything, so I tried a fresh install, which also froze on start-up. On that somewhat frustrating note, my week was over.','Week 7 at Canter','','publish','open','closed','','week-7-at-canter','','','2008-11-21 17:29:05','2008-11-21 22:29:05','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=714',0,'post','',0),(716,45,'2008-11-21 23:09:55','2008-11-22 04:09:55','<div class=\"main\">\n<div class=\"main\">\n<div class=\"main\">\n<div class=\"main\">\n\n<strong>Your Name: Rafael Menis</strong><strong></strong>\n\n<strong>Today’s Date:</strong> 2008/11/21\n\n<strong>Day(s) worked or described:</strong> M\n\n<strong>Total hours for week: 4\n</strong>\n\n<strong>The School: School of Entrepreneurship</strong><em>\n</em>\n\n<strong>Kind of Work:</strong> Inventory\n\n<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>Inventory continued.

Every time I start them, I get a non-system disk error.  There\'s no disk inside, and I can\'t seem to get the computer to boot from the CDRom first.  The rest of the computers are fine and in working order --- just a few more to complete --- and I\'ve left notes on about how fast each one was and how much memory  space they have.\n\nIn 103, there is a little girl who has a Neo AlphaSmart typing thing.  The teacher wants me to hook it up to the printer, minus a computer, and I don\'t know exactly how that\'s going to work.  I haven\'t been able to be there at the same time as the student yet, but I\'m going to try Monday.\n\nIn the main office, they have many and varied problems with their back computer and the printer it should theoretically print to.  I\'ve fixed it a few times, but the latest time I was unable to get an excel spreadsheet which is produced off of some program on Outlook to print.  The secretary said that they would call the tech guys that do the program and see what they could do --- I\'ll do a status report monday.\n\nAs a sort of funny story, the tech people at MYOB [an accounting program I guess.] were called to transfer files from one computer in the office to the other.  Apparently, they had been on the phone for about two hours with them and nothing seemed to work.  So, the secretary asked if we could just use a removable drive to transfer the files, and I said, \"yeah, probably.\"  So I did it.  After that, the tech person on the phone [who was using remote desktop stuff to manipulate the office pc.] kept trying to unzip and open the files in MYOB, but it wouldn\'t work!  The problem?  She unzipped it and put the files into a folder called MYOB, and then put that folder into the MYOB folder.  So when they tried to open it from the top MYOB folder, it didn\'t work.  She tried unzipping it again, and put a NEW Myob folder into the BOTTOM myob folder.  She did this a few times, and after the third time or so of explaining what was wrong to her, I asked if I could use the computer and simply moved the file so that they could open it from the default directory.  the tech person on the phone then told us that we couldn\'t open the file before because our windows wasn\'t updated enough (?), and now it was for some reason.  Ugh!

The main computer I worked on was one of the computers that Mrs. Warden was trying to get running for the science coordinator in the office area.  It had no OS on the computer, so I had to reinstall Windows 2000, go through remediation, install drivers, and get it on the domain.  That took alot of my time, but I was also able to work in another room setting up another computer during the time while the other computer was taking time to install.  I was able to get the first computer up and running, and I also got pretty far on the second computer.</span></p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"normal;\"><span style=\"&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;\"> </span></p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"normal;\"><span style=\"&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;\">On Friday, I continued to working on the computer from Thursday, and I got it up and running in the early morning.  I installed Open Office a computer in the office.  I also installed the Adobe Flash player on a couple computers on request from teachers.  One issue I ran into was with a few NetVistas which where the hard drive was partitioned in a weird way.  The Windows 2000 OS would be installed on a very small partition (Maybe 8-10 GB) and there would be a second partition (25 or so GB) that would be empty.  Furthermore, one computer, the main HD was completely out of space, while the other had about 600 MB of space remaining.  All I needed to do was install Adobe Acrobat on the two computers when I noticed this issue.  I was wondering if there would be a way to merge the two partitions some how.  Overall, I was able to get quite a bit done both days.</span></p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"&quot;Times New

On Monday, I went around to the computers that weren\'t working (Ms. Banks left notes on all of them). One had a \"broken\" monitor (the plug was loose in the back). Microsoft Word on another was locked or something and wouldn\'t let any of the students save their work, so I just re-installed it and it worked fine. One had a note that said it wouldn\'t boot up, but I tried it and after about 15 minutes it finally worked, so I think that one just takes a while. Another one kept hanging on running start-up scripts for 10 minutes, then going into the log-in screen, and whenever I tried to log in it said \"explorer.exe is throwing an error\" or something and wouldn\'t work. I looked it up, and after 10 minutes windows just gives up trying the startup scripts and tries to continue booting, so apparently an important script isn\'t working. I swapped out that computer with a donated one that we had running so there would be enough computers for every class. That took most of my day Monday, but I started installing W2K on a donated compaq toward the end of the day. The next day the sub was \"not a computer person\" so she had me go around and help any of the students who asked her anything. I just helped some log in (and explained case-sensitive passwords to them), helped some find the right website, helped some use powerpoint, etc. Once school was over for the day, it was back to the donated computers. Jimmy and I were plugging away at those when the network stopped working. We went to investigate and discovered it was just scheduled maintenance on the server. While doing that we ran into a teacher whose monitor was \"broken\" and fixed that (it was also just loose in the back).

I managed to fix them all without too much difficulty. The students seem to have recently discovered a love of theft- they\'ve been taking the balls out of mice and even ripping the numbers off of the computers. That I truly do not understand. Who wants a little sticker that says \"21\" on it? Anyhow. The donated computers are done, although only about 4 of them work. I also helped students work on their wikispaces. Some of them have gone way beyond just writing their autobiography and are finding icons and animated gifs and flaming text from other websites to put on their pages. They (luckily) still haven\'t figured out that since they\'re logging into the same account, they can edit each others\' pages. It will be chaos when that happens.\n\nI also started distributing printers on Tuesday. I felt a little stupid explaining to teachers that the printers wouldn\'t actually work until the cords were ordered, but I was supposed to put them in the rooms anyway. One teacher actually didn\'t even have a computer in her room yet-she said she had talked to Ms. Banks and Dr. Conlan about it. I delivered most (if not all) of the printers in the lab, but there are still some in the storage closet. I\'ll probably finish that up and see if that teacher still needs a computer next week.\n\nRandom thought of the week: The students always seem to hijack projects and take them in their own direction, which is partly the wonderful thing about technology, and partly just annoying. On the one hand, it\'s heartening to think that these kids are independently figuring out how to use technology for their own purposes. On the other, sometimes I wish they would just do their work (I guess that\'s why Bill Gates and Steve Jobs both dropped out of college). For example, when they were supposed to make wikis, they discovered the messaging feature on wikispaces and spent the rest of class sending emails to each other. When they were supposed to be researching poets, one found the site for magnetic poetry where you can do \"virtual magnetic poetry\" and move words around, so then they all started writing their own poems with it. (I did not read any of them, although judging by the giggles I\'m guessing the virtual magnet words aren\'t all rated PG). It\'s pretty interesting for me to sit in the corner and watch this spread from the one who discovers it to the whole class-it seems to happen almost instantaneously. Anyway. Hopefully they\'ll put this creativity into an assigned project at some point.\n\n<strong><em></em></strong>','Week 9 at Canter','','publish','open','closed','','week-9-at-canter','','','2008-12-05 16:04:19','2008-12-05 21:04:19','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=774',0,'post','',0),(776,51,'2008-12-05 16:20:45','2008-12-05 21:20:45','<strong>Your Name: </strong>Cliff Taylor and Dana Lutenegger\n\n<strong>Today’s Date:</strong> 5 December 2008\n\n<strong>Day(s) worked or described:</strong> Wednesday Friday\n\n<strong>Total hours for week: </strong>6\n\n<strong>The School: </strong>Enrico Fermi\n\n<strong>Kind of Work:</strong> Computer Maintenance\n\n<strong>Main Report or Narrative:</strong>\n\nWednesday was fairly slow.  There was a CD-rom drive not working for a Dell computer, we were going to replace it but the spare drive we had was not compatible with the Dell.  We also tried to fix a printer in Room 121.  It was a LaserJet Hp and we tried various things but none worked.  We then wanted to set up a network connection with the printer in the office, but when we went to download the proper drivers for it, the HP website was down...way to go Hp.  So we then ended up saving the rest of that problem until Friday.  There was a mention of a beeping computer in 118 but we had insufficient time to fix the problem, so that was also saved until Friday.\n\nOn Friday, we took a computer from the counseling office for room 121 that was said to be working, however, it didn\'t.  The printer was acting like it was printing, but no ink was on the page at all.  We cleaned it with a damp cloth, and plenty of ink was coming out, but the second we put it into the printer, we got nothing.  We finally caved and got a new cartridge from the main office and then it worked fine.  We are not sure if CUIP has a recycling program for cartridges or if there is a way to get them refilled, because that would probably save money instead of having to buy new cartridges every time one runs out.\n\nWe also fixed the beeping computer, although we are not sure how.  We took the cover off to ensure that everything was properly connected, then the beeping stopped.  Maybe it just needed some fresh air.  Anyways, that is fixed.  We also finally got around to putting a new keyboard and mouse in room 105.  So they now have 4 functioning computers. \n\nHave a good winter break everyone.','Week 10 at Fermi- It needed some fresh air.

This year presented few problems with the new computers in the lab, although I\'ve noticed a that some of the machines we transferred to teachers\' rooms are overheating to the point of not being able to start up; my guess is that the CPU temperature diodes on the Dell Optiplex G280 motherboards might be prone to breaking, but I have been unable to fix this problem. Recently I\'ve been working with Mr. Lair to configure the new HP wireless printers. This has been somewhat successful, but since the wireless access point across from the teachers\' lounge appears to be malfunctioning, we have been unable to achieve a consistent network connection to the printer in that room. Otherwise, I haven\'t had too much else out of the ordinary, save for one or two machines with erratic POST beeps. I discussed the possibility of installing Windows XP on the remaining W2K computers (mostly in teachers\' rooms) to improve wireless compatibility and alleviate the need for third party control software, and I would like to make this one of my goals for next quarter.','End of the Quarter at Sexton','','publish','open','closed','','end-of-the-quarter-at-sexton','','','2008-12-16 14:54:32','2008-12-16 19:54:32','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=809',0,'post','',1),(816,49,'2009-01-07 15:53:40','2009-01-07 20:53:40','<p><b>Your Name: </b>Tommy Butterfoss<b></b></p>\n<p><b>Today’s Date:</b> 2009/01/5</p>\n<p><b>Day(s) worked or described:</b> M W</p>\n<p><b>Total hours for week: 6<br>\n</b></p>\n<p><b>The School: </b>Canter<i><br>\n</i></p>\n<p><b>Kind of Work:</b> Tech general,&nbsp; Helping Teacher</p>\n<p><b>Main Report or Narrative: </b>On Monday I got right back to getting the donated computers up and running. When I booted up one of them it had an error about there being no hard drive- I figured a cable was just disconnected or something so I opened it up. There actually was no hard drive in it, so I put in one that was sitting in the closet and got it running. It\'s only about 6GB but I figured that was better than nothing. I also spent some time in the closet rummaging around for monitor cables for two of the compaqs, which have different jacks than all the others. I never found them. I also put one of the fixed computers in Mr Tudor\'s (not sure if I\'m spelling that right) room- his computer died over the break. My guess was hard drive failure, which I was kind of worried to tell him until he told me he kept all of his stuff on his flash drive. That made my job a lot easier- I just swapped out his computer with a working one. Today (Wednesday) I ran into a teacher in the office while I was signing in who was having trouble with a scanner that someone from Assisted Technology (or something) had tried to install but couldn\'t. I took a look at it, and it was missing the USB cable to connect the scanner to the computer. She still had the box, but the cable was nowhere to be found. I went looking for an extra one in the office and computer lab but couldn\'t find one. I know they were going to order USB printer cables, but I don\'t know if they have been ordered/arrived yet. They sure need them. I also hooked up a second computer that was in her room- it just needed to be hooked up to the monitor and internet and plugged in. Then I tried to help another teacher with wireless issues- but the network doesn\'t broadcast its SSID and neither I nor anyone in the building knew what it was. I told him to try cps, canter, etc. but nothing seemed to work. It also could have been something with his computer, but I don\'t know enough about wireless to say exactly what the problem was. The rest of the day was on donated computers- here\'s the current list:</p>\n<p>10 ready to go donated computers (these are the ones by Ms. Banks desk, not counting the ones already distributed)<br>\n2 Compaqs that need different monitor cables (I looked around for the cables and didn\'t find them, although they might be in the library which was locked today)<br>\n4 donated compaqs that I couldn\'t get to work (these are by the window, labelled \"Don\'t work\")<br>\n13 old/broken computers under the table for removal<br>\nA few donated computers still in the storage closet (no one with the key is around to let me in today)</p>\n<p><b><i>(Additional notes to include, only if applicable)</i></b></p>\n<p><b>My regular schedule at this school has changed, to become: M 1-4, W 12-3</b></p>','First Week Back at Canter','','publish','open','closed','','first-week-back-at-canter','','','2009-01-07 15:53:40','2009-01-07 20:53:40','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=816',0,'post','',1),(822,59,'2009-01-09 17:10:20','2009-01-09 22:10:20','Chelsea Bingiel\n\n2009/01/09 Week 1\nMTWΘ\nHours: 10\nThe School: Murray\nWork: Tech for Project\n\nProject 1:  Athletes site\nThe kids are working on a project to research African American athletes and create a page using graphics and sound effects with music.  Joe has entrusted me to ensure that they can only browse around to sites that are useful and appropriate, so this project was # fold:\nstep 1- find 3 information sites for each athlete that give good biographies\nstep 2- format a webpage to list all athletes that are available for research with bibliography links below\nstep 3- setup a custom google search for pictures, this ensures there is only free stock photography without scary/inappropriate images\nstep 4- format a webpage with the link to the google search, as well as searching tips and instructions\nFor next week, I\'ll be putting together another search specifically for music and sound effects.  I\'m hoping I can convince Joe to let me add remix.overclocked.org to the list, just because I think it would be neat if the kids could play with some video game music!\n\nProject 2:  French flash cards\nThe Japanese and Spanish sites have had flash cards for a while now, and the French teacher must have got jealous!  So I repeated the process of the other websites:  set up flash card pages, find pictures, get sound files, and change the links for each page.  All the flash card pages are almost exactly the same HTML code, the only differences for each is about 5 fields that take their own file name or text.  However, each teacher has different vocabulary, so the difficult part is finding images that fit in a 325px by 325px box.  This site in particular needed numbers and family members...just try finding a picture of \"aunt\" or \"mother\" or \"thirteen,\" it\'s a little tricky.\nThe sound files they gave me are quiet.  Between our group, the teachers are sometimes confused about electronics, so they forgot to turn up the microphone volume and check the output before recording.  No matter, I went through and turned up the decibels on each recording (except the french word for aunt saved as aunt.wav....that one I broke in the process, woops).  So, the site should be working!\nAfter setting up the french flash cards, I went through and reorganized the language site.  Now they are more uniform to one another and look a little better, hopefully.\n\nThat\'s about it for projects this week!  I talked with Joe about future projects this quarter.  The issue with me is that I\'m productive and manage to get things done in about half the time, woops.  So sometimes I think it might be difficult for him to find me enough projects.  This quarter though, I can go to work from 8:30-11:30 in the morning, so I can work more with teachers and class projects instead of doing purely computer work during near after school after hours.  I\'ll probably be helping out with their athletes research project, visiting some new teachers and seeing what techie projects they\'d like some help on, a variety of things.','Murray Week 1','','publish','open','closed','','murray-week-1','','','2009-01-09 17:10:20','2009-01-09 22:10:20','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=822',0,'post','',0),(823,51,'2009-01-09 16:23:27','2009-01-09 21:23:27','<strong>Your Name: </strong>Dana Lutenegger and Cliff Taylor\n\n<strong>Today’s Date:</strong> 9 January 2009\n\n<strong>Day(s) worked or described:</strong> Wednesda,y Friday\n\n<strong>Total hours for week: </strong>6\n\n<strong>The School: </strong>Fermi Elementary<em>\n</em>\n\n<strong>Kind of Work:</strong> Computer Maintanence\n\n<strong>Main Report or Narrative:</strong>\n\nOn Wednesday, Sara and I updated the list of things to accomplish this quarter, i.e. surveying the lab computers, ghosting certain machines, and fixing printers.\n\nOne of the teachers in room 203 needed his laptop connection reestablished.  We setup the connection one the Fermi network but for some reason it stopped connecting.  After searching for the network forever, we finally just decided the \"Unnamed Network\" and it ended up being the correct network, but the name was incorrect for some reason.  That same teacher needed Outlook Express installed but the school computer didn\'t have enough memory for it to be installed.\n\nThe Vice Principal needed his IBM Thinkpad, which is pretty old, to connect to the internet using wireless cards.  This took us the better part of Friday because of downloading drivers, setting connections up, and other things.  However, it finally got working.

Mrs. Studdley had started her own shoesmith school blog (separate from the main site I update) aimed at kindergarten parents. Over the summer she made some changes to the site and was now trying to edit the visual theme but forgot how to implement the changes. Upon checking her account, I realised she did not have administrative rights anymore so I notified Sara. Mrs. Studdley has her admin rights back, and now I also have access to the site. Because the project was just being picked right before winter break, I will have to set up a new time to continue the project. The idea was to create some type of powerpoint presentation with pictures of the kindergarteners and post it on the site.

When I arrived on Tuesday everything seemed pretty normal--there was one computer with a bsod in the 200 lab which I switched with one of the unused ones in the 300s lab (I can look at it later, but it wasn\'t clear what was causing the blue screen so I\'m assuming it\'s old hardware, and since we\'re hopefully replacing all of these I just put it with the ones we\'re not using--it has a note on it), and then started to install some shiny new fax machines for the two offices downstairs...\n\nHere\'s where the fun started.  I got the faxes installed properly save for getting them hooked up to the computers, and then I started on that procedure in Ms. Miller\'s office.  There were about four warnings that I should install the driver before plugging in the printer, so I followed the instructions and started doing that.  At some point it said to plug in the usb from the fax, so I went to do that, but as I plugged the usb into the computer, the instant the metal touched sparks flew everywhere (and I mean LOTS of sparks--the room spelled like smoke afterward and the usb cord looked visibly burnt).  Now I\'ve seen some strange things when working on computers, and I\'ve done a lot of building myself, but I\'ve never seen anything like this.  One time I remember installing a usb port incorrectly into a motherboard as a firewire port, but that only managed to fry the first usb device plugged into the port...\n\nSo at this point I\'m standing in Ms. Miller\'s office over her smoking computer freaking out.  It\'s turned off, and I can\'t get it back on.  The amount of energy that sparked was pretty massive, and I\'m seriously worried that I\'ve fried it.  I unplugged it for a few minutes, hoping the thing would discharge somehow, but it didn\'t work.  I showed it to Mr. Miller, and eventually we decided it was a loss. (Ms. Miller was out that day)\n\nFortunately, I\'m apparently amazingly lucky, because by the next day it had discharged whatever was left in there and booted again intact, so I did not in fact destroy the principal\'s computer!\n\nI still honestly have no clue how this happened, I\'m pretty sure I was following the instructions perfectly (there were so many warnings I felt I should--I don\'t normally follow instructions when I\'m plugging in a usb...) but I\'m assuming I messed something up.  I know the static wasn\'t from me--there was way too much, and I\'m very sensitive about that particular issue since I work a lot on my own builds.  Anyways, we\'ve decided to not enable printing on the fax machines for now (at least until I test it on one of the old dying computers).\n\nThursday was better, since I walked in thinking Ms. Miller would shoot me, and then found out I was somehow saved.  I spent most of the day taking pictures of teachers for the blog (although about half of them made up strange excuses as to why I couldn\'t take their pictures...), and I did some beginning of the year things like a new sign up sheet for tech help and a few minor concerns teachers had.\n\nAll in all, the most disturbing week I\'ve had...\n\n<strong><em>(Additional notes to include, only if applicable)</em></strong>\n\n<strong>My regular schedule at this school has changed, to become: Tuesdays 1-4, Thursdays 1-4</strong>\n\n(I ended up staying late on Tuesday due to this issue, so I left a little earlier on Thursday so I wouldn\'t overbook hours (so this week it was 1-430 and 1-330)','Fiske Week 2','','publish','open','closed','','fiske-week-2','','','2009-01-16 14:28:29','2009-01-16 19:28:29','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=842',0,'post','',0),(846,10,'2009-01-16 15:32:43','2009-01-16 20:32:43','Bryan Duff\nBret Harte\nTuesday: 12-1; Friday 1:30-3\nTech General\n\nPer Russ\' email, I installed DeepFreeze on Ms. Goosby\'s computers.

We installed window\'s updates and got it hooked up to the wireless network.  We also went about trying to install Rapid Eye, but had no luck getting the second set of cameras to work.  Sara said she would take a look at it the next time she came in. \n\nAnother teacher also had a Sony Vaio he wanted us to configure to the wireless network, so we did.  Another teacher in room 121 needed a Math Blasters program installed, so we did that. \n\nWe started on one of our larger to-dos this week as well.  We began checking the lab computers one at a time, running CHKDSK and defragmenting the hard drives so that we have a definite number of working, updated computers.  This project is helpful in two ways: 1. We are able to take CPUs and monitors no longer working to the junk pile we have started n room 224 2. Instead of having to guess which computers work and which don\'t, all computers will be available for the teachers and students to use.','Week 2 at Fermi: Really, Really...a high of -4 degrees fahrenheit?','','publish','open','closed','','week-2-at-fermi-really-reallya-high-of-4-degrees-fahrenheit','','','2009-01-16 16:05:24','2009-01-16 21:05:24','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=848',0,'post','',0),(851,45,'2009-01-16 18:11:56','2009-01-16 23:11:56','<div class=\"main\">\n<div class=\"main\">\n<div class=\"main\">\n<div class=\"main\">\n<div class=\"main\">\n\n<strong>Your Name: Rafael Menis</strong><strong></strong>\n\n<strong>Today’s Date:</strong> 2009/1/16\n\n<strong>Day(s) worked or described:</strong> M\n\n<strong>Total hours for week: 5\n</strong>\n\n<strong>The School: School of Entrepreneurship</strong><em>\n</em>\n\n<strong>Kind of Work:</strong> Inventory\n\n<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>Did some printer work over in Room 118, inventoried room 105 (207 will be next week), got most of the computers in 110 hooked up to Ethernet by router-chaining, and started digitizing the inventory.</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>','Week 2: School of Entrepreneurship','','publish','open','closed','','week-2-school-of-entrepreneurship','','','2009-01-16 18:11:56','2009-01-16 23:11:56','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=851',0,'post','',0),(854,39,'2009-01-17 10:44:03','2009-01-17 15:44:03','<div class=\"main\">\n\n<strong>Your Name: </strong>Sasha Reschechtko\n\n<strong>Today’s Date:</strong> 2009/01/17\n\n<strong>Day(s) worked: </strong>M, W, F\n\n<strong>Total hours for week: </strong>7.5\n\n<strong>The School: </strong>Woodlawn Community School\n\n<strong>Kind of Work:</strong> Laptop setup, printers, computer maintenance, drivers\n\n<strong>Main Report or Narrative:</strong></div>\n<div class=\"main\">On <strong>Monday</strong>, one of the printers in the lab was printing pages of junk, and I decided to reinstall the printer drivers.  This appears to have worked.  I also added guest accounts on a couple more laptops (a project I was working on before break because Ms. Johnson thought that parents might be able to use the laptops in a makeshift computer lab after school).</div>\n<div class=\"main\">On <strong>Wednesday</strong>, I finished adding accounts to the computers.  I also reinstalled scanner drivers, because apparently the (very old) scanner had some problems while I was on break.  For whatever reason, the only place to get drivers for the scanner is a Dutch support site, and it took me a while to remember exactly what I had to do (I had done this once before--when I installed the scanner last year).  Finally, I put a wireless card in the security guard\'s computer (at the front desk), because there aren\'t any ethernet ports in the front hall, so his ethernet cable went into the lunch room--where it kept getting broken.</div>\n<div class=\"main\">On <strong>Friday</strong>, I couldn\'t find Ms. Johnson for an hour, but I looked at the building engineer\'s computer, which was full of viruses that I couldn\'t do much about because he didn\'t have an OS disk...  Then I found Ms. Johnson (someone had told me that she wasn\'t at school, but I guess she was, at least later--I came in an hour early to make up time I\'ll miss next week when she has a meeting), and I did some more trying to get drivers for the wireless card, which proved frustrating more than anything else.  Apparently, the people who install wireless cards in CPS computers are a secretive bunch who don\'t leave us with any documentation or support software.  I finally think I succeeded in finding some drivers that might work for the wireless card; however, I now need to figure out how to specify the wireless network and password.  Are any of you more familiar with wireless set-up procedures on W2k?</div>','Woodlawn: Week 2','','publish','open','closed','','woodlawn-week-2-3','','','2009-01-17 10:44:03','2009-01-17 15:44:03','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=854',0,'post','',1),(860,49,'2009-01-17 16:32:04','2009-01-17 21:32:04','<strong>Your Name: </strong>Tommy Butterfoss<strong></strong>\n\n<strong>Today’s Date:</strong> 2008/01/12\n\n<strong>Day(s) worked or described:</strong> M W\n\n<strong>Total hours for week: </strong>6\n\n<strong>The School: </strong>Canter\n\n<strong>Kind of Work:</strong> Tech general, Helping Teacher\n\n<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>This week I started installing donated computers in classrooms. I got new computers, monitors, and keyboards (but not mice) in 305, 303, 306, 205, 203, and 201, though not without difficulties. The biggest one was finding monitors that worked- I must have spent at least an hour in and out of the storage closet, digging around for monitors that had all the cords they needed. We had plenty of standard power cords in the closet in the lab, but some of the monitors required different power cords and we didn\'t have any extra cables to connect the monitors to the computer, and only about 1 in 4 of the monitors had all the cords they needed in their box. While digging around in the storage room, I also found about a dozen (new?) printers in boxes, as well as ancient monitors/keyboards/mice etc. I also found a musical keyboard and some miniature xylophones, the sad remnants of what appears to be a forgotten music program. Perhaps the next big project should be going through the closet and getting rid of all the old stuff that will never be used again and organizing the stuff we might actually need.\n\nThe other major problem I ran into was where to put everything. The storage closet is something of a mess and doesn\'t seem to be clearing out at all, even with all the monitors and computers I\'m taking out of it, but my little corner of the lab is full of all the classrooms\' old computers and monitors. I don\'t really know how the asset disposal system works, but I think getting rid of what\'s in there ASAP would probably be a good idea.\n\n<strong>(Optional) Thought for the week:</strong> It was nice to finally install some of these computers in classrooms. Even though they aren\'t the greatest machines, they are better than what the teachers used to have, and they all seem grateful. It\'s also a nice way for me to introduce myself to all the teachers I haven\'t met yet and ask them if they need anything, have any technology ideas, etc. Some of the students also know my name and say hello to me, which is encouraging.','Week 2 at Canter','','publish','open','closed','','week-2-at-canter-2','','','2009-01-17 16:32:04','2009-01-17 21:32:04','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=860',0,'post','',1),(864,35,'2009-02-23 15:11:18','2009-02-23 20:11:18','<strong>Your Name:</strong> Zhang Zhang\n\n<strong>Today’s Date:</strong> 2009/02/23\n\n<strong>Day(s) worked or described:</strong> W F\n\n<strong>Total hours for week:</strong> 5\n\n<strong>The School:</strong> Ray School\n\n<strong>Kind of Work:</strong> Tech general, More Software update\n\n<strong>Main Report or Narrative:</strong>\n\nSorry for this late report! Last week, I worked mostly with fixing a few printer networking problems, and installing a slew of updates for teachers that requested it.  One minor hiccup in the updates applied specifically for Shockwave. It turns out that several of the websites the teachers wanted to visit required additional Shockwave plugins to function. As far as I could tell, there are a few standard plugins that most Shockwave apps require. There weren\'t any redistributable setup packages for either Shockwave or its slew of plugins, so I\'ve installed them by manually going to those sites that requried them.\n\nI moved a laser printer Ms. Cobb no longer needed to room 201, which had no working printer. So far, there are two more working laser printers that she discarded, so I\'ll move them into the storage room for now. The main CPU cooling fans from Ms. Webb\'s computer had is bearings worn out, and started failing. Fortunately, the computer that had an unfortunate HD failure from last year was the same model, so I swapped the fans with that.','Week 7 @ Ray','','publish','open','closed','','week-7-ray-2','','','2009-02-23 15:11:18','2009-02-23 20:11:18','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=864',0,'post','',0),(866,35,'2009-02-06 16:34:02','2009-02-06 21:34:02','<strong>Your Name:</strong> Zhang Zhang\n\n<strong>Today’s Date:</strong> 2009/01/06\n\n<strong>Day(s) worked or described:</strong> M F\n\n<strong>Total hours for week:</strong> 6\n\n<strong>The School:</strong> Ray School\n\n<strong>Kind of Work:</strong> Tech general, Lab Supervision\n\n<strong>Main Report or Narrative:</strong>\n\nSorry for missing the week 4 report...\n\nLast week, I spent most of my time working trough the 8 or so remaining workorders, and fixed two laser printers that Ms. Cobb didn\'t need anymore.

Miraculously, it could still access the internet--at 256 colors and 640x480 resolution. I uninstalled all the bad drivers from device manager and installed the correct ones from the Lenovo website.\n\nAlso, as discussed in emails, I will work with Mitch to make sure that the network share on ray-srv01 won\'t run out of space again.','Week #4-5 @ Ray','','publish','open','closed','','week-4-5-ray','','','2009-02-06 16:34:02','2009-02-06 21:34:02','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=866',0,'post','',0),(868,35,'2009-01-18 14:10:41','2009-01-18 19:10:41','<strong>Your Name:</strong> Zhang Zhang\n\n<strong>Today’s Date:</strong> 2009/01/18\n\n<strong>Day(s) worked or described:</strong> M T W Θ F\n\n<strong>Total hours for week:</strong> 6.5\n\n<strong>The School:</strong> Ray School\n\n<strong>Kind of Work:</strong> Tech general, Software updating\n\n<strong>Main Report or Narrative:</strong>\n\nI spent Monday going through to the various work requests that have come up since I left in December.  There are remaining issues with room 201\'s printer, which according to HP\'s diagnostic site, has a critical hardware problem.

Once again, the computers were all online and working when I checked. The next time this happens, I will ask for the name of the teacher who made this claim, and then shall I invite that person to the lab to help me fix the \"problem\"?\n\nFor Friday, I went around to all the classrooms in the 3rd floor, and updated each computer to Adobe Flash 10, so that they could watch the inauguration on Tuesday through CNN\'s live stream.

Teachers were having problems using their gradebooks on the new computers I installed last week. I went around and updated the browsers to IE6 (7 isn\'t supported on W2K) and it seemed to fix the problem. Room 203 was locked, so I still need to get to that one. Some teachers had other problems- one of the computers in 103 wasn\'t working, so I spent some time fixing it. For some reason the internet wasn\'t working, but when I moved the ethernet cable to another port and restarted the computer it worked. The computer was also running really slowly, but I didn\'t really know what to do about that. Mr. Lewis also decided to share his opinions about the gradebook when I was in his room updating IE- he really does not like it, and he showed me what his problems were- mostly that it\'s not intuitive and changed his grades from points to percentages and now says they\'re invalid. I tried to help him, but it was my first time seeing the software so I wasn\'t really able to do much. The spanish teacher in room 202 wants her old computer back- apparently the new monitor is darker on the botton than it is on top, it won\'t display images on web pages, etc... I think an updated browser and a new monitor would solve most of her problems, but a student was on the computer and this was at the end of the day so there wasn\'t much I could do about it. The teacher in 303 was having problems with her printer- she said she didn\'t have the right drivers and her printer wasn\'t supported on W2k. She asked if I could install XP but I told her I didn\'t have it. I told her I\'d look at it and see if I could find the right drivers.

That is we surveyed all the computers in the computer lab and found which were working correctly and which were not.  We found 5 computers that would not even turn on and were therefor unusable.  On the ones that did start, we ran a CHKDSK when necessary and then defragemented the hard drive.  This was a project left over from last week but it is now finished.\n\nAside from that, there were a few minor problems here and the such as unplugged keyboards or ethernet cables that we had to plug back in.\n\nMr. Taylor\'s  new laptop would not work in AOL mail.  Everytime you tried to access it, the browser would freeze and not allow you to do anything.  After exhausting all the downloads such as flash, java, etc, we finally just downloaded Firefox...and what do you know, it worked just fine.  I gues Explorer is just terrible and Firefox rocks.\n\nMost of our time Friday was spent transferring files from Mr. Taylor\'s old computer to his new one. The external hard drive we had was not compatible with his old laptop so we then decided to e-mail the files.  There were way too many so we decided to email zipped versions of them.  However, some of the zipped files exceeded the 20 MB limit on gmail for attachments.  We then used an online storage site and eventually got that taken care of.','Week 3 At Fermi: OMG!!!

For Tuesday, I arrived at 8:30 and worked on getting some laptops set up to view the inauguration with projectors.  Connecting the two was not the hard part; the hard part was getting the laptops to buffer fast enough to actually view the CNN feed!  I racked my brain trying to think of quick fixes to get the computer to run faster.  I put firefox on them, removed unnecessary programs, deleted cookies, anything!  I was pretty proud that they went from showing the video one frame per 20 seconds to streaming nicely for a short time and breaking randomly.  Still, they weren\'t at a level where the video would be viewable for energetic kiddos that don\'t understand buffering...and frankly those of us that do understand patience don\'t appreciate buffering either.  So instead the kids sat on the floor in the computer room to watch it on the tv...why this was not the original plan, I will never understand.\n\nThe second day consisted of setting up a form for parents to sign up for a Parent Portal training session with Joe.  This took about two seconds, since we just used google forms.  However, Joe mentioned he would like a way to email the parents that sign up from a spreadsheet a couple days before the training automatically as a reminder.  It just so happens that I\'m learning shell scripting in cs class!  So I took some time to cruise around trying to find a shell to put on a windows.  I know there is putty, but it was a lot of strange compared to the terminal I use on the linux computers at the reg.  And the file organization...I can barely make the leap to shells on a mac much less the organization on windows.  As my cs teacher wisely told us during first week, \"windows is pain.\"  Sorry windows users, it\'s true.  Long story short, I\'m sure I could get a timed shell script working for this on any other os, but windows ey yi yi...\n\nAnyways, the third day was a mixture of setting up the new laptop the school got and helping out kids get logged in to play with ms paint.  I was very disheartened when I turned on the familiar, smiley little macbook only to see the windows os startup.  Life could have been made easy in so many ways!  I was told that the computer is running bootcamp on it, but this is the first I\'ve seen a mac with bootcamp turn on without allowing you to select which os you would like to run.  Anywho, one of my tasks was to find free webcam software for a project Joe wants for one of his classes.  I learned that webcam software is 99% expensive...and then there is Debut.  After searching for a while, I happened upon this little dude tucked away discreetly within a list of webcam software.  It\'s free, records streaming video from a device or the screen (which is fun!), takes snapshots, everything you could want from something that costs money.  So remember...Debut for webcams, it\'s free!\n\n(Optional) Thought for the week:  Friends don\'t let friends anguish in reg alone.\n\n(Optional) What’s playing now?:  I think I\'m the only person who wants to see the ultimate anti romance \"He\'s Just Not That Into You.\"  All my friends say \"Bloody Valentine\" is dumb and not in an epically funny way.  I was so hopeful for a ridiculous, Evil Dead esque 3d bloodfest.  Maybe someday...I did see \"Slumdog Millionaire,\" VERY good movie about an Indian boy growing up in the slums in love with a girl from his childhood.  Features the #1 fall quarter dance song at the U of C, \"Paper Planes\" by M.I.A.!\n\n(Optional) What’s been good to read lately?:  Oh I miss reading fictional books...I never know what a good book is!

The biggest accomplishment was finally cleaning all the junk out of the computer lab. While the electrical outlets and ethernet jacks make it difficult to arrange the room, at least it does not look like a storage facility anymore.\n\nThe last of old laptops had windows 2000 and microsoft office installed. Given their age, most of these laptops have cmos battery issues that prevent many of them from turning on. It may seem like they are broken beyond repair, but there are ways around it. These laptops should be plugged in at all times so that the battery error does not occur.\n\nI also helped Ms. Simms set up a class project for her class portfolio, although I have not heard back on the progress of this project.\n\nMany other printers and computers were fixed. I\'ve noticed that some teachers got more of my attention than others. I try to check in on as many people as possible, but I\'m often busy and those people who actively seek me out usually get my attention\n\nI tried to remedy this problem by creating a folder that I placed in the front office so that people could write down their tech problems.

Mitch brought in an external hard drive and before I leave today I\'m going to try it. My first test worked with a small amount of data so in principle it should work. Now I\'m going to try a bigger chunk. I also went and found the specs for the drives that are in the srv now so hopefully a replacement can be found for the bad drive.

The new(ish?) printers I found in the storage closet last week were in fact the ones waiting on USB cables. And this week the cables (finally!) arrived. Unfortunately, they were not the right type. I don\'t know the names of the cables, but instead of the standard (nowadays) USB printer cables, they are giant cables that fit in the old fax/copier/printers. I told Ms. Banks this, who told me to tell Dr. Conlon. I did, (and while I was in the office the copier jammed so I helped with that) and Ms. Banks and Dr. Conlon met and talked about it. I don\'t know what the end result of it was.\n\nI also tied up some loose ends from previous weeks- I finished installing IE6 on all the new computers in classrooms, I went and talked to the Spanish teacher who was unhappy with her computer and learned that her problems were all related to the browser and having a terrible monitor, so I swapped out her monitor and installed IE6 and told her to let me know if she had any more problems. Another teacher (in the room right next to the lab) was having a problem with her browser, because I guess it didn\'t auto-complete web addresses like it used to and she was sick of typing http://www.....com all the time. I just told she would have to type in the .com but not the http://www and she seemed satisfied. I also attempted to help set up wireless, but the instructions you sent me a while ago didn\'t seem to work- they were for xp and the teacher had vista, so I\'m sure there\'s something different I had to do. (I\'m not all that familiar with vista, having gotten frustrated with it before really figuring it out). I also tried to set up Ms. Abraham\'s printer, but even with the proper drivers installed it said there was an error. I think there might be something wrong with the actual printer or cable.\n\n<strong>(Optional) Thought for the week:</strong> I just got an email from Carlos that NSP is cutting back non-workstudy students to 4 hours a week. I can probably still go to Canter  6 hours a week and just volunteer the extra 2 hours for the time being, but I will probably have to get another job, at which point I might have to go to just 4.','Week 4 at Canter','','publish','open','closed','','week-4-at-canter-2','','','2009-01-30 14:08:43','2009-01-30 19:08:43','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=926',0,'post','',0),(928,10,'2009-01-30 15:31:20','2009-01-30 20:31:20','Bryan Duff\nBret Harte\nTech General\nTuesday: 12-1; Friday: 1-3\n\nThis week, I was able to change the backup tapes in the MDF.

It\'s an African American Athletes research project where the kids research their athlete, find pictures, and then create a short video on Premiere complete with music, narration, and sound effects.  My example was of Wilma Rudolph, the first African American woman to win 3 gold medals at the 1960 summer olympics in track and field.  What I found most interesting was that she was diagnosed with polio as a child and from the ages of 5 to 12 was crippled...so I learned something this week!  I also learned the Premier can get to be a pain in the butt, especially when it tries to think for and shift over a bunch of slides, shorten the length of things, and in general mess up all your previous hard work.  Grr grr grr, but it got done, and I even drew up a storyboard for it!\n\nThursday (had to exchange Friday for Wednesday this week, homework hit me really hard the first half of the week and I needed to be in the linux lab of the Reg) mysterious reports arose of projectors that I witnessed running fine last week all breaking.  After I investigated, it was indeed certain that they all now had something wrong with them.  Two start fine but the light never comes on, and then after a minute or two the fan kicks in really hard and it whirs likes it about to explode and the happy little green light turns orange.  The other two can\'t detect and input signal from the computer, and computer tells you something is wrong with the projector it is detecting.  The troubleshooting is absolute garbage, it goes from \"make sure it is plugged in\" to \"make sure it is turned on\" to \"pull out your wallet and throw money at the problem.\"  For the last bit of the day though, I went to the language lab and inspected the mysterious case of the nonworking microphones.  Turns out some aren\'t plugged in, some were muted in the sound preferences, and some microphone settings are pointing to the wrong mic input.  The mysterious case of why they change?  The kids have discovered that it is very funny if you quickly take out the headphone jack and project what the computer is saying for half a second, then plug the headphones back in.  Giggles ensue as people look around for the strange voice, and merriment is enjoyed all around.  I suspect that sometimes they are unplugging the mic jack instead, which may be messing up the settings on the computer to a different default and thus when the mic is plugged back in it is not set up correctly.  Whether this is true or not I don\'t know, it\'s just a hypothesis.\n\nOn friday, I got to play with the setup scripts Mitch showed me on Thursday!  I set up the media room (aka library) computers so that they had the correct printer.  Now everybody can print their papers that they type up in the library on the library printer, huzzah!  It was great fun playing the scripts, even if was copying and pasting mostly.  I did take a moment or two to inspect files I found in the startup, and even removed something pesky I had noticed that was making one of the machines slow way down.  I found it strange that almost none of the machines had the same startup configuration, although how they change this much I don\'t know.  I blame windows.\n\nIn other news, I checked my email today to discover that I had been cut down to 4 hours per week!  At first I was a bit yikes, since work is my only income (how my friends without jobs get money I\'ll never know, allowances maybe?  that was soo 8th grade).  However, just as I do every quarter when it comes time to pay the university money I don\'t have, I just breathe and remind myself that my loans have a 6 month grace that don\'t require payment until after college, society does not punish the hard working college student (we get babied, seriously I will never have so much free food ever again after college), and comp sci majors get paid a ton, even if they\'re just code monkeys for a while.  It\'s like the Buddha says, if you\'re a tad broke, at least you\'re not in debtors prison, and for this feel blessed and happy.  The point of this rant though is that I\'ll be emailing Joe and Sara and working out a new schedule, so that it\'ll probably shift to Tuesday and Thursday mornings.\n\nPersonal news:  I\'m embarking on a cs 16200 project of my own design.  The premise is to create a game that teaches the player efficient algorithms by trial, error, and practice.  A pseudo code of input variables and data structures will be used to find efficient runtimes for desired outcomes.  How this will be implemented is the fun part!  The variables will be elements with different properties, the algorithm will take the form of a laser cannon that shoots the elements, and the purpose will be to hunt dinosaurs who will then loot more elements to recharge the ammo!  This will be epic, and I\'m very excited and have no idea how to do 99% of this project, but I\'m in a learning environment so it\'ll be okay.

There are still a few miscellaneous boxes I have yet to go through, but I\'ll probably be able to finish them up next week.\n\nQuestion: How do we get the ball rolling on removing of some of those ancient computers that are rapidly filling up the corner of the lab?

I spent quite a while trying to fix that, but was ultimately unsuccessful- I initially thought she just didn\'t have drivers for her soundcard but there were no \"unknown devices\" and I couldn\'t figure it out. I don\'t have too much experience dealing with sound, since none of the other computers really need it. Any ideas what could be wrong? After I gave up on that and told her I would try again once I figured out what else to do, I went back to the lab to discover the printer was now out of ink. Dr. Conlan was supposed to be bringing up a new ink cartridge and installing it, but she kept getting sidetracked by things in the office, so I just went down there, got the ink, and installed it- I\'m getting pretty good with printers, since they seem to be the things that break the most frequently. I also talked to Dr. Conlan about the inventory- I guess there\'s something else she wants me to do with it (probably putting it all in an Excel file) that I will get to next week.','Week 9 at Canter','','publish','open','closed','','week-9-at-canter-2','','','2009-03-06 12:04:37','2009-03-06 17:04:37','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=1057',0,'post','',0),(1059,17,'2009-03-06 12:16:03','0000-00-00 00:00:00','Your Name: Li An Kwan\n\nToday’s Date: 2008/03/06[Week 9]\n\nDay(s) worked or described: W F (erase the letters for days you weren’t there)\n\nTotal hours for week: 7\n\nThe School: Woodson\n\nKind of Work: Tech general\n\nMain Report or Narrative: Lorem ipsum carpe diem…','','','draft','open','closed','','','','','2009-03-06 12:16:03','0000-00-00 00:00:00','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=1059',0,'post','',0),(1061,40,'2009-03-06 13:35:20','2009-03-06 18:35:20','<strong>Your Name: </strong>Kevin Koll<strong></strong>\n\n<strong>Today’s Date:</strong> 2009/03/6\n\n<strong>Day(s) worked or described:</strong> W F\n\n<strong>Total hours for week: </strong>a little over 4\n\n<strong>The School: </strong>Price\n\n<strong>Kind of Work:</strong> General Tech\n\n<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>The new computers are all officially set.

After reinstalling the IDE controllers, everything returned to perfect working order.\n\nFor the computer lab, I set the printer to ignore blank pages, which will hopefully solve the problem of depleting 1/3 of the paper by printing them. Several of the computer lab computers (older IBM Netvista machines) have begun to show problems with disk usage again. For now, I\'m moving the pagefiles to the D: partition to free up some space, but the problem remains that these computers have a terrible partition scheme, with a full C: partition of 8GB, and a completely unused D: partition of 25GB.</div>','Week 9 at Ray','','publish','open','closed','','week-9-at-ray-4','','','2009-03-09 15:20:22','2009-03-09 20:20:22','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=1076',0,'post','',0),(1079,35,'2009-04-17 19:21:15','2009-04-18 00:21:15','<strong>Your Name:</strong> Zhang Zhang\n\n<strong>Today’s Date:</strong> 2009/04/17\n\n<strong>Day(s) worked or described:</strong> Θ F\n\n<strong>Total hours for week:</strong> 6\n\n<strong>The School:</strong> Ray School\n\n<strong>Kind of Work:</strong> Tech general\n\n<strong>Main Report or Narrative:</strong>\n\nSorry for missing two weeks of reports last Quarter...

I performed a deshuffle of four computers and a printer that Ms. Sheridan moved, fixing keyboard/mouse/monitor/speaker connections that got scrambled. I also got one of the IBM computers working again after reinserting the video card. Other than that, I installed a new printer in room 207, fixed Ms. Zeber\'s laser printer in room 313, and fixed a huge backlog of print jobs in ray-srv01\'s shared computer lab printer. The printer had become unplugged fromt the network, and one particularily large job also froze the spool as well. I also freed up disk space on yet another old IBM computer (all these have an almost full 8GB partition and completely untouched 20GB partition)\n\nOther than that, I still need to get around to fixing a fan on a computer that \"is taking off to the moon\" according to the report.

I wasn\'t able to split those files.  If need be, they can be downloaded, but it would take at least a week just to do that with the ones we have already imaged, let alone the ~50 that are supposed to be downstairs. Mr. Miller has all the licensing site info, and it\'s all packaged data so a DVD would work great (we could even put the serial number right on the dvd so we don\'t lose it--I think we\'ve already lost it once).','Fiske Week 10 (end-of-quarter/year)','','publish','open','closed','','fiske-week-10-end-of-quarteryear','','','2009-03-13 13:43:08','2009-03-13 18:43:08','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=1083',0,'post','',0),(1086,50,'2009-03-13 15:08:56','2009-03-13 20:08:56','<strong>Your Name: Dana Lutenegger</strong>\n\n<strong>Today’s Date:</strong> 2008/03/13\n\n<strong>Day(s) worked or described:</strong> Wed, Fri\n\n<strong>Total hours for week: 6</strong>\n\n<strong>The School: Fermi</strong>\n\n<strong>Kind of Work:</strong>  Tech general\n\n<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>Slow week this time.  On Wednesday, I linked Ms. Davis\' new laptop with a printer in Ms. Traylor\'s office.  Then, Sara arrived and we proceeded to install GIMP on all of the lab computers.\n\nFriday was completely dead.  Seriously, nothing at all happened.','Week 10 at Fermi - (Silence)','','publish','open','closed','','week-10-at-fermi-silence','','','2009-03-13 15:08:56','2009-03-13 20:08:56','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=1086',0,'post','',0),(1088,10,'2009-03-13 15:38:46','2009-03-13 20:38:46','Bryan Duff\nBret Harte\nTech General\nTuesday: 12-1; Friday 1-3\n\nAll is well at Harte.

She also said you were trying to decide what to do about the laptops without CD drives.

I don\'t have much else to do while we wait on asset disposal....\n\n<strong>My regular schedule at this school has changed, to become: T: 1-3 TH: 12:30-2:30\n</strong>','First Week at Canter','','publish','open','closed','','first-week-at-canter-2','','','2009-04-03 10:52:45','2009-04-03 15:52:45','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=1101',0,'post','',1),(1103,39,'2009-04-03 13:23:30','2009-04-03 18:23:30','<strong>Your Name: </strong>Sasha Reschechtko<strong></strong>\n\n<strong>Today’s Date:</strong> 2009/4/3\n\n<strong>Day(s) worked or described:</strong> F\n\n<strong>Total hours for week: </strong>2\n\n<strong>The School:</strong> Woodlawn\n\n<strong>Kind of Work:</strong> Tech General\n\n<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>nothing spectacular around here today (surprisingly enough): I finished clearing old user folders off of the shared regions of the server (there are now two to-be-deleted folders to separate the ones I did at different times in case someone complains now).  I also redid the TechKnow inventory because it got lost in the Primary3860 folder and helped out with the kindergarteners.\n\nTechKnow started on Tuesday and is Tuesdsays and Wednesdays from 3-4:45; my schedule is Monday and Wednesday 10:30-12:30 and Friday 11:30-1:30, but I might come in for TechKnow on Wednesdays when they start opening up the computers.','Woodlawn: Week 1','','publish','open','closed','','woodlawn-week-1-3','','','2009-04-03 13:23:30','2009-04-03 18:23:30','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=1103',0,'post','',0),(1105,51,'2009-04-03 14:59:34','2009-04-03 19:59:34','<strong>Your Name: </strong>Cliff Taylor and Dana Lutenegger\n\n<strong>Today’s Date:</strong> 3 April 2009\n\n<strong>Day(s) worked or described:</strong> Wednesday and Friday\n\n<strong>Total hours for week: </strong>6\n\n<strong>The School:</strong> Enrico Fermi\n\n<strong>Kind of Work:</strong> Tech General\n\n<strong>Main Report or Narrative:</strong>\n\nThis week was fairly slow at Fermi.  Because report cards were being given out on Wednesday, no teachers reported any problems, so we simply went down our list of things to do.  The most pressing of these was an attempt to find a cd drive for Mr. Trailor\'s Dell.  However, because of the specificity of the model, none of the cd drives we have here would work.  We then spent time trying to find the part online.  We are still in the process of finding the right part and will send her the link as soon as we find it.\n\nFriday we spent our time ghosting the computers in the library.  All of them were terrible and in need of ghosting.  That took up most of our day on Friday and since no teachers needed anything fixed, we just worked on that.','Week 1 At Fermi: Nobody Even Uses this Computer','','publish','open','closed','','week-1-at-fermi-nobody-even-uses-this-computer','','','2009-04-03 14:59:34','2009-04-03 19:59:34','',0,'http://reporting.cuip.net/?p=1105',0,'post','',1),(1107,10,'2009-04-05 16:47:02','2009-04-05 21:47:02','Bryan Duff\nBret Harte Elementary\nTech General\nTuesday: 10:30-11:30; Friday: 1-3\n\nThis week I spent a lot of time in room 110.
