<strong>Main Report or Narrative:</strong> This week I spent some time trying to figure out how to make Inisght more useful for teachers- since students don't log with their own usernames, it is difficult to know who is doing what since everyone is logged in as "generic" and the computer names are all I23981W5205... etc. There is a way to rename the computers in Insight, but I discovered that when the computer is restarted it reverts back to its old name. I then discovered a feature called "Class Layout" where you can arrange the thumbnails of the students' screens in a pattern and save it. Using a map of the lab with all the computer names on it, I made a classroom layout for the lab- the only problem is you have to load it into Insight for each user, so I have to wait for teachers to use the lab while I am in there to set it up for them.

I also installed Java on all the lab computers for Ms. Banks, who wants it for her students to be able to use <a href="http://www.wordle.net" target="_blank">wordle.net</a>, a word-cloud generator. I also took a look at the ipads with Russ but we are waiting on the CPS email given to the school for their itunes account with the education discount.
