Yipes! Sorry this is so late -- I'm dashing it off before I leave for Fermi today so it will be short. On Wednesday, I zoomed around and installed DIBELS on any school computer I could find using that handy new software package. It was a delight, to say the least. On Friday, I encountered a <strong>tech mystery</strong> which baffled 3-EXCL and which I now pose to you. I had noticed that two of the computers up in the teacher resource room were having a problem. They were connected to good ethernet ports (with good cables) and recognized that they were connected to the internet, but they refused to access the internet. I moved one of these computers to Ms. Alexander's room (120) to satisfy her request for a Dell, and the change in ethernet port did nothing. I spent about 45 minutes on the phone with 3-EXCL, and we learned that the only thing the computer can ping is itself. 3-EXCL suggested it was a problem with the network card -- what do you think? I wanted to consult with CUIP before I had a technician come out to the school. Any help would be much appreciated! I also fixed Dr. Cima's printer (low ink, a few other issues), but that was far less mysterious.
