[Discussion] Fwd: Status of the lab

Tue Sep 6 12:25:36 PDT 2011

Hi Christian,

So sorry to bother you again, but I still can't get the sound to work on any of the computers. I've tried both Khan Academy and You Tube, and sound doesn't play. I've checked that the computers are not on mute, but other than that, I don't know how to make it work. I got your email about checking them out last week...were you in the math classroom, room 217.

Thanks again for your help! I know we WILL get these up and running for the kids :)

Hi Christian,

I can't get the sound to work on any of the computers in my classroom. I've tried with and without headphones, and tried all the sound controls I know. Do you have any ideas?

Lacee, I was not able to reproduce your problem.  I was able to play sound on all of the machines.  I did note that the volume was kind of low.  Maybe that was your problem.  A combination of the fact that the volume was low, combined with quiet speakers.  I used the speakers from Ms. MacDonald's room.  I was very careful, and tested each machine.  I ran Youtube on each of your machines.  I was here for about one hour testing them.  You should be able to just log onto your machines in the KIPPster account, and use them.

Were you in the student account or the KIPPster account?

Thanks again for your email!  It is a pleasure to help you.  Please don't hesitate to email me and this list for any reason!

Thanks!

I will try to meet with Maria either today or tomorrow.

I was at CACS today, and spoke briefly with Maria and Paul.  Maria is easier to get in touch with toward the end of the school day on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.  Paul was busy with a class, and so I was not able  to speak with him in detail.

The school has been divided between two buildings due to construction.  The underschool is divided between the south building (which was just storage last year) and the north building (which is where our lab is).  Maria is still in the north building in her same classroom.

Maria is okay with SFSU students coming to do stuff.  Paul said he is "theoretically" okay with it.  I just need to send him an email with a few details.

At the very least, I'd like to get a sense of the overall state of the lab
and all our machines (It's not clear to me how much of the dust has
settled from the summer construction).

The lab is pretty much in the same condition as last year.  Someone plugged the server back in, but I didn't turn it on when I was there, because I was not sure if the ethernet cables had been moved around or not, and I was not sure if the ethernet cables were plugged into the proper jacks in the back of the server.

After that, we can start reviewing
the specific user requests and assign priority to them. If there are any
urgent or readily addressable tasks, I'll try to tackle those up front
(time permitting). Following that, we can outline outstanding and lower
priority tasks by creating threads at tech at lists.partimus.org<mailto:tech at lists.partimus.org>[1]

This sounds like a good plan, thanks!

Perhaps, it may even work better still to plan on gathering at the CAC lab
one or both of the next two Saturdays.

Maria has said that Sunday would be better for her than Saturday, if that is okay with you, James.  If not, then we will need to ask her to be there on Saturday.  We will need Maria to be present for the first week or so, until we get new keys, because the keys for the north building have been changed, and not even the teachers currently have keys to get into the north building.  I will email her to find out what time works for her.  Does Sunday work for you, James, or do you need it to be Saturday?

If we can think of any other tasks we'd like to get started on, let's add
those to the task list as well.

I can't currently think of any more tasks.

Thanks!
