<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>

On Wednesday, I made sure that the DIBELS sync station I set up for Ms. Alexander was working properly. To test the station, I synced the Palm Pilot of a teacher who was having trouble with some of her class data. Unfortunately, some testing data got lost in the syncing process and I couldn't seem to get it back. I felt pretty bad about this, but she seemed to be okay with it -- hopefully it won't be too much of a problem. I also uninstalled Mr. Orekoya's printer drivers in hopes that I will someday be able to have the menus display in Finnish, but I didn't have the time to reinstall it. I hoped to get to it on Friday, but I spent most of that day up in the MDF room trying to figure out how the security camera system works so that I could change the feed of cameras being displayed on the monitor by the security desk. After tracing cables and playing around with keyboards and plugging in monitors, I had a breakthrough (thanks to Honeywell's technical support line) and got the feed to change. Very exciting. I then went up to the computer lab with Dr. Sanders and Mr. Taylor to discuss what would be going on with the media center. All of the monitors have been moved...onto tables...which are still in the computer lab...but I guess they might be necessary once we start setting up workstations in the media center. Dr. Sanders wants to set up about five stations, which should require some interesting power-strip/router action since there are very few outlets on that side of the room. We also took a trip to the defunct science lab, which is SO COOL and is filled with all of these absurd old science demonstration models and old chemicals and also photography equipment. This was pretty exciting for me, so we hung out in there and discussed how we would like to put some computers there as well until I had to go. All in all, a super-exciting day.
