<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>

Tuesday Sara was here and I talked with her a bit about what has been going on. Unfortunately, I visited Ms. Lee only to find out that her students have finished their country PowerPoint projects, which is disappointing since I had hoped to get to work with them on that. I sort of suspected that would happen since my schedule only coincides with that class' s spanish time once a week for 40 minutes, but hopefully if they end up going to the TechKnow Fair, I'll get to work with the kids to hone their projects. I then helped out with a 3rd grade class in the lab. I also spent way too long trying to install a wordpress plugin to collect data on visitors to the shoesmith webpage, which ended up being a failure and I just opted for a simple counter instead.  Needless to say, not much progress was made on Tuesday.

Thursday was a lot better. I visited Mrs. Cranley and established a meeting time. I'm also going to be preoccupied for a while making blog instructions (how to create and set up a blog) for her complete with screenshots so she can set up her own blog next year (unless someone else has already created this?). I then got the Obama photos from Mr. Willis and edited them and put them on the Shoesmith website. I'm also working on typing up info that will go on Mrs. Walker's blog once it's created.

Friday I finished up the info that will go on Mrs. Walker's blog. I also did some work on Mrs. Cranley's blog. I then started the blog creating instructions for Mrs. Cranley, using the blog setup on the wiki as a base.

Issues I'm not sure how to resolve:

1. I am supposed to start work with Mrs. Wernecke on her blog but my schedule never coincides with hers planning periods.

2. Sara, is there any way to let parents know about the school website/teacher blogs? I think a lot of teachers question whether or not the blogs are actually being used so they're reluctant to put effort into it.
