I am finding it harder to keep up on the blog now that school is in session. I am thoroughly enjoying my new task of working on technology for the school. I have been meeting with our librarian and aide that work in the Library to see what needs to be done to get the facility up and running. Over the summer all new carpet was installed and the distance learning lab was dismantled and an individual learning computer lab was installed.
The computers needed some updates to Java and Flash Player to make it up to par for what students need to do to complete their online learning. The website is dependent on java and students do not have the privileges to download and run updates (which is a good thing).
Our library has 3 audio studios that have not been used a lot in the last two years so I am initiating conversations on what and how they should be used. I am not trying to take space or equipment away from anyone, but if it has not been used in the last 3 years except twice by only teachers, can the space be put to better use.
Another piece of equipment that I have been working on organizing the the fax machine. We had previously a standard fax machine located in the distance learning lab for teachers/students to use to fax documents. The office staff did not want faculty/students coming in use the fax machine in the office so this was set up. But with the distance learning room taken apart, we need to find a solution. Currently everyone is going to the office, but after some investigation all of our copiers are capable of faxing and scanning. So I will be working with our technology department to use our current equipment to meet our needs.
More meetings to come but trying to move ahead and streamline work for several people
