Lazy Tech Coach Intern Blog

Today was a simple day in the land of technology. Mrs. Keys had some issues with her Activ board, but these were quickly remedied. What happens is that the pen gets disconnected from the board somehow. To fix this, one must simply hold the pen in front of the

I read my book today. Oh, and we helped a teacher set up a movie to watch. Yay!

Today I spent the whole interning period scanning in comics and various math puzzles for Mrs. Waldman. It hurt my face. But then again, at least it gave me some intern work and experience with the copier. Hoo-rah!

A lot has happened in the last month. First of all,I have given up on everything. Ever. Well, not really. I just gave up on finding a way to boot from a flash drive. It seems that everytime I edit an ISO, it messes up. It happens, but maybe someday I will realize my dream of Windows on a flash drive.

Besides that, Goshorn and I have done a multitude of things. We have worked on Promethean boards, worked in the auditorium setting up for various performances, and even cleaned up a laptop that had coffee spilled on it!

All in all, the past month has been filled with many technologically related activities. Stay tuned for up to date information!

Well, not much is going on today, but prom is tomorrow! I managed to find a pink tux online, and am pretty excited about that. Anyway, today I am working on nabbing a flash object embedded in a website. It’s tricky because it’s embedded and none of our add-ons will work. Though I have a feeling file2hd.com will work. Well, toodles!

Not much is has happened today. I just surfed the web looking for random music to play during gym. At first I wanted to go straight classical, but Goshorn has some newer age type classical that I opted for instead. So I burned a cd and went to town! Classical has to be the best music ever created.

Today was another day filled with the normal technologically related activities that often accompany being a technology coach assistant. Specifically, I went out to help poor Mrs. Keys with her Activ board because her pen was not working. All I had to do was reconnect it, which consisted simply of holding the pen up to the flame and then clicking connect. It seems that the pens get disconnected from the Activ board quite easily, so it’s no surprise that it was not connected at all. Welp, that;s it for today!

Well, I am not dead good readers. That is, good reader. AKA Goshorn.

Anyway, yesterday was a good time. We finally got to start working on the display case for our tech bulletin board! We managed to procure some blacklights from an undisclosed location, which are very nice.

I also had the chance to help out Ms. Clark with her powerpoint woes. It seems that she wanted to embed youtube clips into a powerpoint. After me failing miserably to help her with this, Goshorn came and saved the day. Yay!

That’s all for today, folks.

Every time I am in the vicinity of Goshorn teaching about wikispaces, I just get really bored. The concept is the same as writing a paper, except you can put pictures in and see everybody’s papers.
Aside from that fact, I can understand why a teacher would utilize them. Everybody can contribute and make their own wikipedia. The problem with me is the layout. It should either be java or flash based, because the text layout makes everything more complicated than it needs to be and makes it bulkier.
Either way, teachers will probably continue using them, so why worry about it? Hopefully Monday I can start some more work on this flash drive, because I really want to be able to boot up anywhere.
