And So It Begins...

The year is off to a shaky start with the computers down, files missing and everyone in a panic.
All four of my schools have "issues" with the computers, and the tech staff has been run ragged for the past two weeks trying to get the Edline pages and file folders up and running. WVDE has made things extra-difficult by not providing logins for the programs we want to begin - Acuity and Writing Roadmap. WESTEST results were late in coming, so we're trying to catch up and "disaggregate" the results. And so it goes....

The GOOD NEWS is that the Globaloria classes at East and West are unfolding nicely, thanks to the hard work of the teachers involved. Surveys are getting completed; blogs are being set up, and the students are bringing in their permission slips - and showing lots of enthusiasm for the program. We're looking forward to the installation of Flash on the laptops and desktops in both schools. The laptops are in, and the tech staff has promised delivery to the schools this week.
