Kind of Work: Helping Teacher, Installing Software, Accounts (again!), PhotoShop Class Prep

Main Report or Narrative:

During week 2, I dealt with yet more accounts issues-- the kids deleted several program files.  I fixed that and helped supervise the lab for a class.  Wednesday, I put Adobe After Effects on all the computers in 313.

Week 2, I helped prepare for the photo shop class (from Bright Spark) for Ms. Henderson's class.  I checked that PhotoShop Elements was on the computers in 203 and found that 2 of the computers didn't have bootcamp (Mr. Tolbert is looking into getting another copy of the software).  I also helped with some minor tech issues with browsers and the web filter.  The web filter ended up blocking access to an education blog, so  requested an exception through IT.  I got deep freeze on Wednesday and talked with Ms. Johnson about it and how we want the frozen computers to look-- we will do more after spring break.  Hopefully we can figure out how to configure everything!  I'm sure we'll be fine.

Also, they've instituted a new "three strikes you're out" policy in the computer lab for classes.  I'm hopeful that this will result in less misbehavior in the lab.
