 * SIGN UP FOR TWO CONSECUTIVE BLOCKS OF TIME IF YOU FEEL THAT TWENTY MINUTES IS NOT ENOUGH*
 * **Time** || **Name** || **Room** || **What do you want help with and what is the educational objective that you are addressing?** ||
 * 9:00 - 9:50 || Mary Grace Flowers || 24 || She already has great wikispace that she is using it with her students, to post homework and class related assignments. She wanted to know what is the advantage of having an Edublogs. So I explained to her that the major difference is that you can use a blog to post news that is revolving all the time and that can be a great feature if you want to keep communication going with the parents, the students and the community.The principal wants them to all have an Edublogs by the end of this school year, but some of them already have a wikispace and don't see why they should have an Edublogs. Also the school website http://www.e2t2c2.net/colwyck/ does not have a lot of information and is not very sophisticated, so the principal wanted to add more things on it but they are not sure if they want to go with this website on Dreamweaver or with the other Colwyck website on edublogs http://colwyckschool.edublogs.org/. **Her Goal for next time is to further work on the school website and link the teachers's website to the school one.** ||
 * 1:00 - 1:40 || Jane Campana || 8 || She didn't know the difference between a wiki and an Edublogs, so I explained to her the major difference.She wanted to set a wikispace but she had already an Edublogs that I set up for her at the beginning of the school year. So I suggested to to her that instead of having a wiki as her personal website, she can just use the Edublogs account she has and add to it any information she would like to. So I helped reset her password and logging in back to her Edublogs. I helped her how to change her design and add widgets.Then I showed her how to go to manage post, select an delete old posts that she had. I also showed her how to write a new post save it and publish it. I also showed her how to add pages for each of the grade level she is teaching, save the page then come back to it to make changes later.Finally I showed her how to add links to her Edublogs and how she can use to links to direct her students to some educational website to work on.**Her Goal for next time is to work more on her Edublogs and add more information on it.** ||
 * 1:30 - 2:15 || Lois Gregory ||  || She wanted to finish what she was working on with Kyle last time he was with her. She was not sure what she was working on, so I suggested to her that she might have been working Edublogs an therefore I helped her log in to her account ( it took her sometime to remember her user id) then I helped reset her password.Then finally, she realized that she was working on a newsletter, so I searched for the document in her computer ( It is a Microsoft Word document) and then I showed her how to center the text, increase the font and change the font's size. Also I showed her how to save her document and then reopen from her Document folder.**Her Goal for next time is to finish working on her newsletter on Microsoft Word**. ||
