<strong>Main Report or Narrative:</strong> No work on  Monday due to MLK Day. On Wednesday 1/19, I got to help Ms. McKinney with tasks most of us might take for granted. I showed her how to create folders, rename files, drag files into folders, view files as thumbnails/filmstrip/icons/etc, and download and print pictures. Ms. McKinney had to upload pictures and write comments of her classroom and the activities they were doing onto a website(forgot the website name). This gave the district a sense of what the teacher was doing in her class and how it met the educational standards. After that I went around to each classroom checking for computer problems. Most had no problems except for a few rooms.

On Friday 1/21, I spent  all day trying to install Office 2007 onto a teacher's laptop. The laptop had Vista and lots of programs running in the background, taking up memory. If I was actively clicking on the windows of the unzip progress, it would always freeze up. After several tries of freezing up I tried downloading 7zip and unzipping using 7zip but that too was taking a long time. I eventually let Windows just unzip and did not touch anything so the computer wouldn't freeze up again. Finally the Office was downloaded after what seemed like several hours of restarting the install.
