<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>This week I helped Ms. Washington move to her new room on the second floor from her old office on the third. I set up her computer and made sure it could still print to the office ricoh, and also took some old computers out of her room (they were just sitting in there) and moved them up to the lab. I also helped Ms. Harris with her computer- it randomly stopped displaying anything on the monitor, so I set her up with a different one form her room (she has a lot of computers sitting around, but most of them are broken, as I discovered).

I talked to Mr. Lewis about the ipads- he said they're looking into them, and asked what I thought of them. I said I think they're really cool but I had never really looked into their potential educational use. He said they are worried that 1) CPS won't provide support for them and 2) textbook makers are going to resist making affordable apps so they can continue to sell their books for $70 a pop.  I said these seemed like very reasonable concerns to me- it seems like they are still in the early process of deciding, however.
