<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>Monday I worked with Mrs. Cranley the whole time to get her pictures into a Powerpoint presentation. I ran into a couple of issues with her computers though. She has 2 functional ones, one of which has Microsoft Office, but is out of hard drive space and won't install any new drivers (so it won't recognize her USB flash drive or her camera when she plugs them in). I tried to clear up a little space on there for her, but if she doesn't get a new computer soon I might have to resort to sitting down with her and just going through files/documents to see what can be deleted. The other computer is fine, with almost 2gb free but doesn't have Microsoft Office. I used that one to get the pictures from her camera onto her USB flash drive and I also wrote her a set of directions for getting pictures from her camera to her computer/flash drive and how to safely remove both her camera and flash drive. I then realized her printer didn't work, so after a couple of fights with dust bunnies and a lot of muttering to myself, I fixed it (it was a simple power issue - I just didn't realize one power strip was not working at all).

Wednesday I sat down with Ms. Lee and went through the set-up of her blog and explained features to her. I then spent some time learning Impact, which has locked itself so that you can't change an individual student's grade, although you can change every student in one class to have the same grade. One of the teachers didn't do her grades on time, so Mr. Willis and I are trying to figure out how to put her grades in now. So far, no luck. Does anyone know how to get around this?

Things I didn't get around to/didn't have the resources to get around to that are on the schedule for next week: installing Photoshop into one of the lab computers for Mrs. Cranley, talking to Mrs. Cranley about whether she wants to bring in a projector to show the Powerpoint presentation in class or if she just wants to run a slideshow of the pictures on the computer in her class in which case I won't even need to install Powerpoint on her computer, finishing the updates on AR (Mr. Willis still can't get ahold of a class list for each class),  and hopefully working on Mrs. Coleman's blog.

<strong>Thought for the week:</strong> Happy Turkey Day and safe travels everyone!
