<strong>Kind of Work:</strong> Computer Maintenance

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

This week mainly consisted of helping teachers with problems they were having and fulfilling thier technical requests.  A teacher need some new learning software installed on her computers in her classroom, so that was done on Wednesday. On Friday the program was not functioning for regular users, just administrators, so we had to change the setting on that, but it seems to be working fine now. 

One of the kindergarten teachers here requested a computer for her classroom designated for student use.  That request was taken care of on Wednesday.  On Friday, we recieved a request for two more student computers. That led us to ghost to of our 5100s that were out of order, and they are working as they should now.  We will put those in her room on Wednesday of next week.

We tried to get a set of speakers working in room 121 for a phonics program, however, despite our best efforts, we could not figure anything out.  Due to the compressed time frame in which we were working, we are going to e-mail Mitch and deal with that problem on Wednesday.

We are also in the process of getting a desktop computer, in a room with no ethernet connection, to run on the school's wireless network.  Sara tried to get it up and running, but there seems to be a problem with it being able to connect with the network.  It might be a driver problem, so that is another task that will be accomplished on Wednesday.

Overall, a pretty busy week, but the teachers are eager to use the computers for projects and teaching, which is fantastic. Its great to see some of the newer teachers wanting to use technology in tandem with their teaching.  We look forward to creating some projects with them next quarter.
