Main Report or Narrative:

This week was very informative.  We are attempting to update the Ghosting images for all the Acer models we have so we can ghost a few spare CPUs.  Mitch came to do some updating, unfortunately we ran out of time and couldn't get the image just right.  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.

Sara 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.

One 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.
