Main Report or Narrative:
Monday: I seriously can't remember, and have lost my notes. I'll edit this, if I do remember.

Wednesday: Sitting in on Mrs. Burdette's class again, and we worked out the Thanksgiving projects, what went well/what needed work. We've decided to have the class design one powerpoint, rather than everyone doing individuals, in the event of a tech fair at some time this year, which I know I've heard mentioned in a few different places. Most of this, we worked on the subject of a powerpoint that can teach the kids how powerpoint works, how to use bullets, clip art, backgrounds, custom animation, slide transitions, etc. Worked some with the class about what's a story, how does it work. I hope to add soundbytes, photos, possibly video if I can- should talk to Erin about how to do this, and if it's possible to do it on Microsoft software instead of online.
Thursday: Appointment with Mrs. Burdette to work on blogging; I set it up so that we could meet from 11:30 to 12:30, circumstances (mostly involving a lot of smoke in the teacher's lounge, and efforts to not cause the fire alarm to go off) got in the way of us actually doing anything blog-related for over fifteen minutes.

Friday: Further work with Mrs. Burdette, setting up her blog- progress can be noted <a href="http://fullerblogs.cuip.net/burdette">here</a>- we discussed that first graders probably won't be able to comment on blogs, and the site is now turning into a mini-newsletter and notice board, so that parents don't have to worry about fliers and whether their kids are sending them along or not.

I have an appointment with Mrs. Glover for Monday, and have been doing some follow-up on (name), but she hasn't changed her blog since we set it up. It's mostly a matter of, having teachers come up with ideas for them, rather than just having them exist stagnantly.

Also, the way I've been working has been seeing if Mr. Jones has anything for me to do, and if he doesn't, seeing if Mrs. Burdette has anything for me to do, because she generally does, and if she doesn't, just hanging out in the teachers' lounge and asking passers-by if they need their computers defragmented, cleaned, etc, but when Duel drove me to work on Friday, he says this is unacceptable, Mr. Jones needs to have a list of things for me to do. Seeking advice, on what to do about this.
