<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>I only worked one day this week because of Martin Luther King day. 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. I have plenty to do next week.
