Monday - I spent most of the day at Blevins School District. I used my Fox-and-Hound to help located a few network wires that seemed to go "nowhere fast." Turned out they really did go somewhere, but they weren't plugged in to anything. We remedied that. I also worked on some wireless issue they were having in one of the buildings. Turns out the wireless router was defective (most likely after a recent storm).
While working on the wireless, I spent time talking with/working with the Instructional Technology Specialist about her new job, duties, etc.
After I returned to the Co-op, I answered phone calls and emails from vendors and techs until quitting time, at which point I went with my boss to her house to try and get her home network set up so she could work from home. This had been working in the past, but for some reason quit working. After several hours, we decided to call it quits, take a break and approach it again on Wednesday.
Tuesday - I spent the day at Bradley schools troubleshooting several issues, ranging from the switchover from server-based Renaissance Learning tools to the web-based version, several laptop/networking issues, connectivity issues in several classrooms (and HS library). The tech and I checked out several projectors with apparent color wheel problems (a known issue) and one projector that seems to have a bad extra-long VGA cable. I will return to the district to help narrow that problem down at a later date.
I also worked in the Early Childhood room, setting up a new computer for the students to use, troubleshooting viruses/malware, and setting up one of the student computers for printing.
Before heading to Bradley Tuesday morning, I helped get the lab set up for Neil Gibson to host a data workshop.
Wednesday - Helped set up the conference room for a presenter (a/v system, internet, dvd playback, etc). Worked on several server-related issues (trying to get ISA server to route traffice to certain web front-ends). At lunch, I went to the boss' house and was able to fix the connectivity issue so she can now work from home.
At 2:00, I got a call from the Hope early childhood program about a database issue in regards to Batelle Reporting. Headed out to see what I could do to help fix it.
