Kind of Work: Tech for Project, Helping Teacher

Main Report or Narrative: 
Shaz directed me to a nifty WP plugin, podPress, which has streamlined the <a href="http://blogs.cuip.net/BookPreviews">Book Previews</a> project immensely. I determined that podPress doesn't work with .wav files, so I spent some time with Audacity cleaning up the old .wav files and converting them to mp3s, and converted every post (except one, which was missing a file) into a nice pod-cast style. 

Mrs. Jacobson wasn't in the library on Wednesday, so I did some odds and ends work with other teachers. Mrs. Smith needed help with some AV equipment (not exactly computer tech work, but I find that the same principle of "first make sure it's plugged in, then make sure the power's on" is just as applicable to VCRs as computers), and Mrs. Johnson needed a bit of help with Google imaging. 

When I made my new work schedule, I hadn't realized that little Till building needs to be empty by 3:15 on Fridays, so I decided to cancel for the day rather than go in for 45 minutes, and I finished the podcast project from home to make up the hours. 

Since I can't go in to Till on Fridays, I've changed my schedule to be Monday/Wednesday from 2-5:30. 

To work on next week: fix the remaining post on the BP project, sort out the mess of audio files that students have left on Mrs. Jacobson's computer, check in with Mrs. White about her ABC project.
