The School: Fermi

Kind of Work: Teacher Assistance, Tech General

Main Report or Narrative: My Fermi Thursday was particularly busy as CPS was out on Monday.  I checked in with Ms. Stokley (207/205) who has a set-up with assistive technologies.  Her system works well; after quite an extensive search for pre-existing peripherals, Christe miraculously found a shiny new flat screen and magnification software in the office.  We connected the new monitor; this week I need to complete the software install (I am going to aim for Thursday morning, when her classroom is empty).  I connected with Ms. Meyer again (116) to take a look at her printer jam; I cleared it up, requisitioned from the office and installed new printer cartridges (as the old ones were completely dry), and set up the printer share for her classroom.  She should be "off to the races".  While working in the classroom, the reading resource teacher in rm. 120 found me and asked me to look at her computer; there're a few minor issues I need to address.  I also looked at the computer in the teacher's lounge, sorely in need of further looking-at, and continued the second floor inventory - which included installations and deep freezes on about 7 computers (2 rooms).  Word of my presence and schedule is spreading; teachers seem to increasingly know where and when to find me - a positive sign, I think.  I've also been passing out my contact info in hopes of making our connections a bit more flexible.
