Week 14

Today was very typical with not much out of the ordinary happening. Ms. Dee, Ms. Garavante, and Ms. Jones all came in with their classes today, and Ms. Spry sent a few kids to work on their state projects near the end of the day.

The only thing that was new today was the fact that the kids in Ms. Garavante's class were trying to print certificates from Math Blaster, here two possible things could happen. The first was that pressing print button prompted them to save the certificate not print it. The student then had to quit Math Blaster so they could open my documents where they had saved the certificate. The most puzzling thing at first was the fact that the files were saved in a format that caused the icon that is given to things one does not have the proper applications to open. However when you double clicked the icon it opened it as it would a normal jpg, one could then enter the photo printer wizard and print it out. The second thing that could happen made things simpler. A window would pop up with the image in it and one could skip the steps of closing math blaster and opening the image.

Despite the fact that I attempted to give a demonstration I had to help every single person who wanted to print, mercifully it was only a class of twenty and not all of the students needed to print. Beyond that there wasn't really anything of significance.
