<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>Just a quick overview of what has been going on at sexton: A lot of construction...makes things confusing and hard to set things up for permanent use because there is a lot of moving around. I think the most important thing is that now there are tons of old computers laying around in the lab and in room 105. I took inventory of all these as well as mice (none, we need some!) keyboards (quite a few) and laptops (6). I have been checking their status and today I finished the ones in 105 (it's hard because there's a class in there). None of the dell computers in the lab work (the old extra ones) and only one in 105 worked. Since we are disposing of these old computers (why we needed the link above) and getting new ones, I figured I would not even check the really old non-dell ones. Last week I put the computer that worked in 105 in room 207 because Mr. Smith told me they needed one. It is all set up, it just needs a mouse. Today I asked Ms. Durrah if the extra computer in 105 was being used because I thought it was hers, turns out it is not and no one uses it so I took that mouse for now to give to 207. I have also helped supervise the lab while I am up there, and I've been meaning to suggest that we change the main console computer. Monday of last week I picked up and organized all the loose cables in the lab because Mr. Smith told me Alicia wanted to get things organized and was going to have two students help her pick things up, so I just put things together for them.

These past things have taken most of my time, but I have also been checking in with teachers. I added Ms. Turner as an admin on her computer so she could login (always remember to disable deepfreeze, otherwise you have to do things twice...). Ms. Bada also wanted me to do this with her new one in her room, but her problem is that she cannot save things. At first I thought it was because of the deepfreeze on the old computer she has but she said it also happens with the new one, which doesn't have deepfreeze, so I am not sure what the problem is but it has been an issue for her for a while and nothing I do seems to help. She was also working on a project with the rest of the second floor teachers and they were making a powerpoint, this was last Monday so I was not able to stay long enough to help her until the end but I showed her some important and useful features of powerpoint (like adding pictures, sounds and videos). I also checked on some printer problems, with Ms. Bada and Mr. Smith as well as internet problems with Ms. Khan and in the lab. I also noticed that two computers in the lab are missing or have a broken antenna....Also, there was a problem with one of Ms. Bada's computer this week. The cable that connects to the monitor was disconnected becasue she needed it for her smartboard and when I tried reconnecting it the screen always remained black, even if I restarted it. Finally today I figured that if I reset all the settings on the monitor than it will work...now it seems pretty reasonable. But that reminds me that many teachers have asked me now and then for extra of those blue cables that connect the computer to the monitor. I think this is all for now since I don't want to make this so long....
