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

I noticed that when we were showing one of the teachers Insight a couple weeks ago, the computer was going just painfully slow, making it hard to really show anything. So I was comparing the performance of the computers, and saw that the computer that the teachers use has half the memory that most of the others do. This explains why Page Size is always almost full - even desktop icons have to be reloaded back into memory when a full windows gets minimized and you can see the desktop again. Upgrading to 512 mb (which is what my phone has!) doesn't seem like it would be too expensive so I am going to recommend either doing that, or switching the computers, since the teacher version of Insight seems like it would benefit more from the increased memory, and it is hard enough as it is for teachers to get the hang of this software. On a different note, I think at least some of the computers are starting up a bit faster now - I ran msconfig on them to see what was running at startup, and some computers had programs like iTunes or HP driver updaters running for no reason.

Today there was an assembly, so I set up a laptop and projector in the gym so the students could watch a movie. It was the first time they had used the screen, so we had to work to position it right, and then set the sound up with speakers and a microphone.
