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

Week 7 was pretty slow and I spent most of the time in the computer lab helping Mr. Sanford help supervise the students. I also helped Ms. Washington with her printer that was not printing. It was wireless, so reconfiguring the wireless settings on the printer helped the connectivity issues that she was experiencing.

Monday of Week 8 I checked out a computer in 229 that had been having issues with adobe reader opening PDF files without having to use "open with". It turned out that the version of adobe reader that was installed on the computer was not fully compatible with the OS since the computer was still running Windows 2000. I tried downloading a Windows 2000 version of adobe reader, but it required me to update Internet Explorer to download the file. However, the only update I could find to internet explorer was not compatible with Windows 2000.  I mentioned to Mr. Smith that that computer would need to be updated. I also spent some time with Tremayne in Room 206 because the teacher could not log in due to the fact that INSTR was not available. The advice that Mitch and Russ gave of rejoining INSTR did not work. The issue seemed to have resolved itself by Thursday. However, the same issue was occurring in 203, which Mitch and I figured out on Thursday after removing the wireless card and replacing it with a USB wireless adaptor that Mitch had. The better wireless connection helped log in to INSTR. Mitch and I ran into an issue in 206 in which the Promethean board would not play sound. We weren't able to fix the issue right away, but we gave the teacher a set of computer speakers as a temporary fix.
