<strong>Total hours for week: </strong>6

<strong>The School: </strong>Canter

<strong>Kind of Work:</strong> Tech general, Helping Teacher

<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>Much of my time recently has been dedicated to ipads- I helped Russ out with an introduction to the ipads for teachers on the most recent CPS professional development day. There were a lot of questions, and it seemed like there was a fair bit of interest in using them, but as far as I know no teacher has submitted an app request or lesson plan. They were supposed to be used for an online test at some point- Russ and I had to manually add shortcuts to the test on the homescreen, because apparently those don't sync across devices. Mr. Winsor seemed pretty impressed by the graphing calculator app- I might follow up with him soon if he doesn't ask me about them.

I also figured out how to connect Mrs. Tsitsopoulos' (Windows 7) computer to the shared (XP) printer in Ms. Washington's room. The standard add network printer doesn't work- I've included instructions for the workaround at the bottom of this post.

I also backed up the server (srv-01) to the external hard drive, because it was acting sluggish/frozen for a few hours this week. This time when I went to check, srv-02 was actually still up and running, so maybe the scheduled backups

<strong>Instructions for connecting a W7 computer to an XP shared printer</strong>

Assume the computer withe the printer plugged in is called XPMACHINE.

1) Ensure Printer on XP machine is shared - assume it's called SHAREDPRINTER.

2) On the Network Browsing on your Windows 7 machine ensure you can "See" the Printer share.

Now on the Windows 7 machine do the following:

3) Control Panel==&gt; add LOCAL (Yes LOCAL) printer

4) Create NEW port==&gt;Local port

5) Portname is <a rel="nofollow">\\XPMACHINE\SHAREDPRINTER</a>

6) Now you'll be able to print on the XP machine.
