A busy few weeks

Been a bit slack over the past few weeks. Life has been busy and work has proved to be somewhat demanding. Finalised the wireless network at Inglewood, all user accounts running, and a great deal of activity is evident.

Prep Learning Profile contract is in place, full deployment commences next week. This week will see technical training offered for our techs and planning for the roll out.

Its time to organise BID 2007 (Bishop's Inservice Day). All teachers in the diocese come together for a day of inservice and socialising. Three venues, Charleville, Roma and Toowoomba. Toowoomba places great demands upon CEO office personnel in the planning area. It can be difficult organising activities for 750+ teachers and school employees. This year we have a new weapon in our planning arsenal - Summit - conference planning software. I've spent time familiarising myself with the software and completing the data entry! How boring! Yet essential to ensure a thorough knowledge of the application. Training of other staff in its use has commenced.

Wireless Installation

Had a very busy week last week. Went to Taroom and Inglewood to put laptops on networks and install wireless access points. Both schools have made the decision to provide staff and students with mobile hardware to free up space in the classrooms and provide students with the opportunity to access the network in a variety of settings - not just in the classroom or library!

Took a few hours at each school to setup the wireless capability - windows access for logging on to the network when booting is essential.

Also helped with the setup of Inbteractive Whiteboards.
