Hey Ben, I can't keep up with you!  I've barely completed <i>reading</i> last week's set of reports, let alone replying or moving on to this week.  So please just keep in mind, if you actually need or want a timely response, you'll need to email to Russ and me.  (It's fine if it's a pasted copy of a report posted here.)  

I'd certainly like to see your blogging instructions.  Would you please email a copy to Russ and me?  Thanks!  I'll admit to being a bit skeptical about when written directions will work for introducing teachers to something technological, but maybe I'm just too doubting.  i hope it does work well.  Of course, it's another matter (and usually a very good idea) if you do a personal training/introduction session and by supplying the written notes you free them from needing to do their own note-taking and thereby help them concentrate on the operation at hand.

The CUIP techwiki still/again has an Apache password, and may forever; I briefly lifted it to get verified with Google (and file our request to remove the cached copies of the troublesome pages).    But that isn't meant to block it from our NSPs; use the same username and password that you do for this reporting blog.  To edit, you will need to register with a username and password of your choosing within the wiki (after the apache level password).  I think it's now set to need admin approval of new users (maybe not), so in case we don't get an auto notification from the system you might drop me an email at that point so i'll know to log in and okay your registration. <br> &nbsp;&nbsp; We're aiming the content primarily for the CUIP staff and NSP-techs, and school tech coordinators, but it's not out of the question to have materials for other tech-participating teachers as well.  Especially from the "we took notes so you wouldn't have to" perspective.  After I see your blogging directions I'll be in a better position to suggest whether to interleave it with our existing collection of blogging articles, or make it a new article, and if the latter then we can figure out the main title t give it and the redirects to put in place. 

As long as Ms. Ahad is happy with the results, shuffling printers and even their fusers and other parts is a fine solution.  Russ may add some specific notes on this, or on the DF console issue etc.

Absolutely I echo the sentiment of good luck to you and everyone else on finals and papers!  Have a Happy Snowy Chanukah today, and please soak in some relaxation during the University's interim!

Cheers,

  ==Mitch
