November TIS Report

I continued to learn about an use the responders in class. I still need work on using the MOBI. Started sending out responder and MOBi tip to the other teachers. I did have some teachers tell me the tips were helpful. I am learning more about the outdoor electronic sign and have been putting up more messages with different effects. I still can't get pictures on the sign. I have been working on loading a virtual business software on the computers in the laptop cart. I am also putting PhotoStory3 and MovieMaker on the computers. The students are not allow to use the computers since we still do not have deep freeze for the laptops. I have contacted the board office about the problem but might as well have talked to the wall. I have assisted teachers with Edline problems and help them find files on the jump drives. I started attending webinars on teaching Sports Marketing. They will pick back up in January. I have made several suggestions to administration about showing teachers how they can use technology (Edline) on our collaborative Wednesdays. So far there has been no response to my suggestions. I feel like we are in a holding pattern. Our computer lab is old! We have newer computers that were donated to the school but the lab has not been changed out yet. We started a new GED program and they use the lab in the afternoon. Several computers have been torn-up.
