<strong>Kind of Work:</strong> Tech General (Regrettably non-creative)

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

To recap: Ms. Ebisi's mini classroom lab is up and running (thanks to a switch from CUIP). Ms. Gnall is struggling with her broken Palm Pilot and Dibbles. I need to upgrade her Dibbles computer so that it has more than 256 MB of RAM. Sara installed the Carnegie Learning thingie for Ms. Gnall's afterschool Algebra program in the lab (hopefully this will work out). Further, Sara helped pick out and create a new Deep Freeze console to replace the less than functional previous one. We are now running DF 6 console on a newer computer in the lab. Woo hoo!

I haven't had a whole lot of time to swing by and talk to Ms. Howard, but hopefully after today's professional development day, she'll have a better idea of what technology projects to do.

Ms. Ebisi mentioned that she would like to do a blog of some kind! (This sparked my interest immediately of course.) I'm not clear on the details, but I will follow up with her on Monday.

One other good thing to note: my tech support forms are actually being used in the office!

As for the mysterious ST Math situation.... I have been informed by two teachers (Mr. Wilson and Ms. Woodfork) that occasionally and randomly the K-5 web-based version of ST Math will require them to enter the 16-digit authorization code. Apparently, it often also shows up as the wrong school (in the welcome screen). I was told this was happening in about seven computers in the lab (the re-authorization) but when I checked each computer, only one appeared to have this problem. I still continued to hear about the issue.

I honestly am not sure what's going on there and if there's anything I can do, but it's mysterious. The fact that its showing up as the wrong school may or may not prevent students from logging in to their account, but I have no real verification of that.
