<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>On Monday 11/1, Mr. Miller, Ms. Knox, and I talked about future events we wanted to do at Fiske. The two main things were creating some sort of blog for the Fiske teachers, where students and parents could get current information. The other was making an inventory of the school's tech stuff. To create a blog I emailed Mitch and he emailed back saying we could make one on Wednesday. Another idea was to create projects with iMovie, Garage Band, or Windows Movie Maker. Throughout the day,  I spent my time making the inventory. Using the inventory we would bring computers to each classroom. The goal is to have 4 computers in each room.

On Wednesday, I helped fix Ms. Searcy's laptop which could not connect to the school's wireless. IE had a problem where an error occurred each time it opened. Looking online, I found out that resetting IE's settings helped. This seemed to be a problem on Vista computers. I also helped eliminate a virus in a computer in Room 106. The computer had the Smart Engine virus, a virus which pretended to be an anti-virus and lured unsuspecting victims to activate  it. To kill the virus, I downloaded a program on Rkill.com which halted the virus from running. I then downloaded Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware and ran that to eliminate all traces of the virus. Those two seemed to work and the computer showed no further signs of the virus. Later Mitch came in, and I got to meet Gracie who would also be working at Fiske. Together we set up blogs for the teachers at Fiske through the CUIP blog for schools.

On Friday, I used Deep Freeze for the first time. I needed to install Comic Life on the computers in the 3rd floor lab. I "thawed" the computers, installed Comic Life, and "froze" back the computers. I did not finish and the rest will be done next Monday.
