<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>I forgot to write a report Wednesday afternoon, so I'm belatedly writing it now. Since Wednesday was a half day and Ms. Hill had to go to the Professional Development session and a staff meeting afterwards, I spent my time in the lab looking for ActivInspire lessons that Ms. Hill and Ms. Maxwell could use in their upcoming lesson plans. The lesson plans are from the Promethean Planet community, and I managed to find some on elapsed time, introductory division, and sound, which are topics that will be covered in the following weeks of school. Some of them also have an ActiVote component, which is great because Ms. Hill wants to let the kids use the clickers to vote for answers on the quizzes within the lesson plan. I noticed, to my annoyance, that the desktop in the lab gradually became slower and slower the longer I used it, until at one point the internet page just refused to load. This question will probably divulge my inexperience, but what can I do to make the desktop run more efficiently?
