Service Learning Week #4
This week was definitely very interesting.
On Monday I was asked by my boss if I have free on Wednesday, and after I thought about it, I said yes, because on this day is Senior Assessment day and I did not have any plans for that day yet.
So then she told me right away: "Ok so you are going to come in at 8 o'clock in the morning and will stay until 5 in the afternoon." First I thought "Great, my only free day and then work."
I was suppose to be looking after one of the Computer Labs in Websterhall, since they know that I am quite good with computers. I was there to help the teachers out if they had any problems with the computers or with the Test Program itself.
So I got there this morning (Wednesday) at 8 o'clock, obviously I was again the first one to be there. All rooms where locked and nobody was there. I waited for 10 min until the secretary showed up with whom I was suppose to look and check over the three labs in Webster. We stated with setting up all the computers in the Lab. We had to check on the Internet Browser for the Pop-up Blocker and had to make sure that the links to the Test page worked.
After we where done with the three Labs, I was assigned to look over the two upstairs, while she was checking on the one's downstairs.
Everything went quite smoothly, the Teachers arrived, the students started taking their test, until the first problems started to show up. One of the students lost connection to the Internet and was afterwards not able to log into his Test again.
Another one's Test got stuck on one page and so on.
I solved most of these Problems myself and for the rest of them I called a friend of mine in Matthew Hall who was during that time responsible for all the labs and was handling the big problems.
After the first test we had a little lunch break and shortly after that we had to get the computers again ready for the next Test.
The second test went better then the first one. With less problems and easy to solve one's.
All in all it was a very long and tiring day and I will go to bed now right away. But I still enjoyed doing so.
