The Network

I forgot to mention it, but all of the computers in my room are now hooked up and working. They are even connected to the network.

However, I do not know at all how to log kids onto the system. Spencer, the IT Guy, told me yesterday that he would not be able to establish individual student accounts and that there would be only one Tech. Lab username and password and that each student would simply have to make a folder on the network server for their work.

I have some serious doubts about this system and hope that we can change it soon. I am worried that a kid that loses his computer privileges will still be able to get onto the network and that anyone can get into any other person's folders and mess things up. One kid with a vindictive streak could wipe out a whole ton of other students' work.

I will be in at 7:00 a.m. tomorrow morning to meet with Spencer to learn how student stuff will be handled on the network. This is 1 and 1/2 hours before school starts, but meets his schedule. It doesn't really meet my schedule, but I need to know what to do with kids 1st period tomorrow.
