When I arrived, Mr. Miller had a group of students in the lab working on a project using Excel. Since it was a large group and the lesson moved fast, I stayed in the room to help make sure everyone stayed on track. The students who worked fastest were very enthusiastic and positive about assisting their peers.

I then went to pull the small group of students I have been working with on the brochure project, but they had gone on a field trip, so I went home early.

I met with my brochure project group again (minus one--apparently there was a behavior issue in his regular classroom), and we finished up the research component of the project. We were able to begin work on the brochures, but I anticipate difficulty with the more technical aspects of the project, especially since these students have never used Publisher before. Fortunately, since it is such a small group I am sure I will be able to guide them through it.

Towards the end of the lesson a teacher came to the lab and asked for assistance in hooking up a laptop to the printer in her classroom. The printer wasn't on the network, and since she needed the laptop ASAP I settled for just installing the drivers and hooking it up via USB port. This will be a little inconvenient, but a workable solution.
