Hi, Allan,

Thanks for your report!   

I'm planning to stop by Reavis this afternoon (Wednesday), to check-in/catch-up with you and see if there's anything interesting we should look at together. 

In case we don't get to it together today -- I also worked with that new teacher in 207, put the shared printer on one of the school desktops and got her personal laptop onto the school wi-fi.  Also couldn't add that printer to her laptop, and made the guess that joining INSTR would make the difference, but she declined doing that (maybe because of how I was explaining it).  I'm glad you gave it a try.  One possible reason it wouldn't join INSTR might be if the network settings (particularly the DNS server) come from her Cricket 3G instead of the CPS wi-fi.  It might be worth trying with the Cricket disabled.  (Need to discuss with her how to turn it back on when taking it home.)  

I know Terry has already been coordinating with you.  But I still wonder if we need to add some more kinds of report-sharing for this school and others where we have multiple people doing overlapping jobs.  If we have time, let me show you a system (not perfect, but interesting) that we use at a school where the teachers make their tech-help requests thru an online form, and we record our responses in the spreadsheet that is at the back end of that form.  ... Or maybe we just should have sent you our notes from the first couple weeks.   :-)  

Later,
