September

Sorry I am so late doing these blogs. I wish I had a really good excuse like I was abducted by aliens but I don't. I have been so covered up with "stuff" that I sometimes wish the aliens would come get me. But anyway. . . .
What activities were you involved in during the month of September? We started sending our classroom attendance to the office using a spreadsheet and our inter school e-mail system. I spent a LOT of time trying to show other teachers how to use the spread sheet and trying to undo when they saved their attendance to the template. I put a lot of shortcuts on desktops to the attendance spreadsheet. I spend a lot to time looking for missing spreadsheets. People though they were copying their spreadsheet but they moved it out of the attendance folder into strange places. I also learned how to put messages on our outdoor electronic sign.
What technology activities did you share with your students? Other CTE educators? As I mentioned before, I spent a lot of time working with the attendance spreadsheet and our staff files. I also helped several teachers with the Edline getting them started, posting reports for students, etc. I set up a training date so we can learn to use the MOBI and responders that were purchased this summer. They have been locked up in the storage closet since they arrived. I didn't get to do much with the students because the lap top cart does not have deep freeze installed and we are not allowed to use it until all computers have deep freeze.
