I have had a frustrating start in the lab this year. First the wiring issue, then the cluster IT came in and helped me get the machines up and running, but the Internet and Kidpix grind the machines to a halt.
It is so unfair for the kids. Sometimes it takes the whole period just to log a machine on. I am trying to get the staff to leave the open id on permenantly since we do not have our individual student IDs yet, but some still insist the machines get shut down at the end of their visit.
Needless to say I am revamping my program because September/October I usually have the Grade 1s and 2s doing an assignment in Kidpix and the Grade 4s do research using the Interent.
I looked through the Internet permission forms today and all are in except my two non English speaking students. We are waiting a meeting with an interpreter in order for them to get all of their forms in, but I can easily find reading activities to help them for now.
This just means I need to pull some other activities out and try them out.
