Week 10

I started by learning how to use graph club, a program we had found for the teachers teaching their students about graphs. While the program was good for the most basic parts of graphing you could only graph in the first quadrant and there was no way to compare. You could not, for example, make graphs that showed correlations between two things. While it will be good for the lower classes it does not seem like an overly useful program.

Later, while Ms. Spry was in the lab, Ms. Levinson reported a paper jam. I headed over there expecting to be done in seconds. I removed the jammed paper and tried to help her print again. However it refused to print, we waited for about twenty minutes as she said it was normal, then we restarted the computer and went to lunch, when we got back it had successfully printed.

As always we ended with Stanek's and Kreuzberger's classes. Stanek wanted them to take a template, save it to their My Documents file then fill it out. With a little help on the title and making sure everything was the right size they were soon all done. However we had to go around to them all to print as printing was defaulting to Microsoft Office Document Image Writer which did not in fact print. Then Kreuzberger came and had her kids work on mathblaster for a bit before school ended.
