Tech Team - Plus 2

The tech team (John, Amy, Chris and Gina) have been working hard to get all the equipment setup at the new Maricopa Wells campus. Since this work is so much fun - we decided to share! For a few days, we had 2 additional team members (Don and Christian). Here are some action photos of us at work.

Hi Ho - Hi Ho - Off to Work We Go...

Work continues to be steady for the tech department! We have almost completed the TLA tech assessment for 5th and 8th grade students. In total, we will test 226 5th graders and 170 8th graders. This assessment is part of the NCLB requirement with regard to assuring that students are technology literate by the end of the 8th grade. (I big thank you to Amy for managing this process).

Progress at Maricopa Wells is slow due to construction delays, however, we are completing some tasks. It is our hope to have all equipment functional and in place prior to the holiday break.

We have just completed a master image for the elementary computer labs, and will begin imaging labs tomorrow. After much hard work - John mastered getting our image onto DVD so we don't consume bandwidth pulling across the network. (Way to go John!)

Chris has been busy getting 10 donated workstations imaged and ready for deployment into the HS Nova Net lab. He plans to move the workstations later today.

Although we are still setting up equipment at MES and Wells, we are busy reviewing plans for our next elementary campus (Santa Cruz at Tortosa) - which is now under construction.

We had a great meeting recently with member of our IN Group - who are now busy creating their own blogs. Once done - they will be linked from our IN Group Home Page
