This week all the kids got off early because of conferences so there wasn't much to do. Once the conferences got started we could not, in good conscience, go into any of the teachers' rooms. However, before they got out we did have time to go to Ms. Ratto's class to do three things:
1. Hookup her Macintosh computers to the domain
2. Show the kids how to start up programs
3. Attempt to get her printer working (which we failed to do)
Once we'd worked at these three things for roughly an hour we had a lunch break and came back in time for the conferences. The remaining portion of the day was devoted to installing a program called "Mosaic Magic" on twenty of the computers. Apparently Ms. Dodge has been asking for this application for roughly five years. Unlike modern programs, and I should note this one was created in 1993, you had to actually copy paste the files from a folder kept on the disc into a new file if you wanted to get it on to the hard drive. After that we had to follow the normal procedure of creating a shortcut and dropping that into the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop file so that the students could access it.
