Fletcher || D1 || Juanita wanted to create an Edublog for her 4th grade class. She already had a site, but there were some things that we needed to change. First, we changed the password because we had to reset it when we tried to log in. Next, we changed the theme into something that was better for her class. Next, I showed her how to create posts, pages and links. Within the posts and pages, I showed her how to add different forms of media because she needed add newsletters to her site. Finally I showed her how to edit the posts, pages and links that she created. Next time we will continue to work up her Edublog. || Mandrachia ||  || She needed help with her Elmo, but the hardware wasn't added to the computer it came with. I told her she needed to contact the disrict in order to get them to download the hardware. The other issue was that the Elmo wasn't working along with the projector. As she was reading a story to her class, I took the plugs out of the elmo, and the projector, and re-attached them. I was also able to conect the laptop to the projector, and have that be source 2. I turned on the Elmo, and she was able to show the story on the projector so all the kids could see the story. Next time we will work with the Elmo after the hardware has been installed. ||

 * **Time** || **Name** || **Room** || **What do you want help with and what is the educational objective that you are addressing?** ||
 * 9:00 - 9:30 || Raquel Johnson || Main Office || Raquel wanted to learn how to do mail mergers. She had done it before on a different version of Word, so we used the old mail merger to show her how to use it with the new version of Word. After finishing step 6 of the mail merger, we talked about how she could bring information from Excel, and add it to her Word document. Finally, I showed her how to convert the data added in her Excel document into a graph using the chart wizard. Next time we will work on mail mergers again, once I got her more information on it. ||
 * 9:30 - 9:50 || Juanita
 * 9:50 - 10:15 || Jeanne Bratten || Nurse || Jeanne had some trouble with her Dreamweaver site because it was coming up as parked when people tried to access it. I looked over it, but there was nothing wrong with it, so I told her that she needs to contact the district in order to find out why they are blocking her site. ||
 * 10:20 - 10:40 || Kathi Walters || A1 || Kathi wanted to learn how use the Smart notebook software, so I began by showing her the tools. I showed her the pen tools, followed by the page tools like split screen and shade. Next, I showed her the tool kit, and brought a couple of pictures over to the screen in order to show her the item options. Next, I showed her the interactives on in the tool kit, and how to use some of them. Next, I showed her a couple of interactive sites, including Thinkfinity. Finally, I showed her Smarttech.com, and downloaded a couple of lessons to show her she could change them to make more sense for her lessons. ||
 * 10:40 - 11:05 || Kathi Walters || A1 || Continuation ||
 * 11:10 - 11:30 || Erin Sanna || C6 || Erin wanted a disscussion site, so she could put information on the site and have the students comment on the information. She already had a site so she needed to make some changes. We started by changing her theme, then getting rid of stuff that was on there from the site she had before. Next, I showed her how to make sure that the comments part of the posts and pages was on, and how to manage the comments. She wanted to make sure that she had to verify the comments before they went through, so we turned that feature on. Next time we will work on adding media, and making other changes to her site that she may want. ||
 * 11:30 - 11:55 || Erin Sanna || C6 || Continuation ||
 * 12:35 - 1:00 || Susan Johnson || D5 || Susan wanted to learn how to use Excel, so we started by going over cells, and the placement of data into the cells and the spreadsheet overall. Next we added information into the spreadsheet, and she told me she wanted to keep track of student academic progress. After adding the information, I showed her how to use the chart wizard so she could show the academic porgress during parent conferences. Next time we will work on creating an Edublog for her. ||
 * 1:00 - 1:20 || Beth Holt || D10 || Beth wanted to add some things to her Edublog, so we discussed what kind of things she wanted up there. She told me she wanted to add pictures of the students, and wanted to add newsletters. I showed her how to add pictures of her students, and how to organize them within her site. I told her if she wanted to add a bunch of pictures, then she should create a flickr account and link the page to her Edublog. Next, she wanted to add newsletters, so I showed her how to add pdfs. Next time we will work on updating her Edublog further. ||
 * 1:25 - 1:50 || Anne
 * 1:50 - 2:10 ||  ||   ||   ||
 * 2:15 - 2:35 || Roberta Jacobs || B2 || She needed to add a new blog to her Edublog account. I was able to show her how to create a new blog, and now she has another blog to use for her students. ||
