My current technology is locking up and essentially flipping out because of what we're trying to do on it. The students have re-taken the surveys after several tries against freezing screens and slow loading, and are getting frustrated and rolling their eyes since this is basically more of the same (for those who have taken this class before). IT at the School Board Office says it will be another 3-4 weeks until I get the Chrome Books to which you can imagine how MY eyeballs were rolling into the back of my head.
For now, the solution is to strip the laptops I currently use of all school division stuff except Chrome so when it is being accessed nothing else is running in the background. That is supposed to make them work more efficiently. Tomorrow we get the blogs set up so the url's can be put into the Accessibility survey. Friday, the IT guys visit both schools and do a Blogger audit to see that what we have can be used.
I can barely believe the level of frustration I feel. The money is there, the plan was in place for what seems like forever, and now we are waiting for Samsung to manufacture the units. Geez.
In hindsight, it would have been helpful to be told what was happening. I could have planned my lessons according, the students could have been prepared, and the transition between the old way and the digital way could have been smoother.
