Excellent news about DeepFreeze!  As I mentioned in a note to Mitch, who is assembling a team to come out and finalize it, next Friday would work best for me.  However, I do understand if you need to set it up for another time.  Monday might be best because there's no school, so there will not be any students to compete with, but I don't think Ms. Evans will be here, either. This is exciting that it's almost ready to go.  Very good news!

As Mitch noticed, Wednesday I finished the ODS scripts on the re-imaged machine in the lab, as well as just generally straightened up the lab.

Today, Ms. Evans did not have any outstanding issues for me, which was good.  I spent some time checking what was installed on each of the lab machines.  It seems that STARLiteracy, STARMath, and STARReader should all be standard, but I haven't gotten any idea of how often these programs are actually used.

After finding the XP re-install disc in the lab, I was able to finally come down to 110 to re-image the machine that had been outstanding for so long.  Luckily the teacher was really understanding.  Having this CD will be very useful in the future.  However, I still need to install a couple of drivers for the machine.

The majority of teachers are using their INSTR logins.  I am slowly bringing the handful of teachers who do not up to speed.

The lab has been in pretty good shape lately, but is still in need of a new printer (though it seems to have been working fine over the past week).  Of course, things in the lab will only get better once we get DeepFreeze in.

Once again, I apologize about having to miss work last week due to midterms.  I've never had all four of them in one week before, and I certainly hope I never have that again.  Thanks once again for being understanding.
