<strong>Kind of Work:</strong> Tech general, Powerpoint project

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

As the school year comes to a close, I'm faced with many of the same problems that have been plaguing me throughout my time here.  There are computers that don't work, that despite my Frankensteinian efforts, refuse to function.  I thought perhaps the hard drive was the problem, then it could be the ram, but it turns out...none of that is fixing the core problems with either of these machines.  Blarg.

I did however, finally finish a project.  I made a nice little power point for Mrs. Clarke and her kindergarten class.  There is a lot left unfinished.

The LRE room is full of equipment I have yet to fully make note of what is functional and what is not.  I suppose I can salvage them for parts if it's the CPUs that aren't functioning, but I wonder how efficient this would be.  This is something that could be done over the summer.  Relieving the school of the many wondrous assets that now lie defunct in the LRE room (next to the computer lab.)

The printing situation in the lab is still shaky, however I had a breakthrough today.  I was telling Mrs. Meili to have the kids just save to her folder in the Student Home folder on the server, and just told her to print it out.  Well, when that wouldn't work, and her computer couldn't connect to the printer (for a reason I do not understand), I just plugged that printer in directly to hers.  It was no longer a Network printer.  There should be one computer that can print in the lab, I've decided.  This prevents a lot of problems, and gives the teacher some direct authority in the lab.  

At any rate, this has been an excellent year at Mollison with lots of improvements made.  Next year, I hope to make more progress in the project department and spend less time fixing machines (although that's also strangely fun.)  Perhaps we can take what I see as a love of music in a lot of the kids and lay down some beats and produce a song, or make a podcast of clean music that they like.  I don't know, but music seems to be an important factor.  And with the Wordpress site, a podcast is not far away at all.

I look forward to working again next year at Mollison.
