We left the school with a digital camera. Marcia and Darling are very able
users and can transfer photos to the computer. We also left a microphone to
record voices on the computer and use within PowerPoint, particularly for
presentations to visitors. The Santa Rosa Fund also provided each of the six
teachers with a 1GB memory stick and these were presented with their
certificates.
Simple logons
We setup, on PCs 1 and 2, a secretary logon with password, simple teacher
logon with password and simple pupil logon without password. Guest and
Administrator already exist. It was not realistic to setup separate logons for
each member of staff as there is no functioning network and only one PC has
printer access. So it would have meant duplication and confusion about file
/folder management. However, teacher logon gives access to individual
teacher folders on the C drive.
We found teacher Darling Martinez very able and she learns quickly. She
could be one of those considered to be trained to oversee/support with
computers in school. As far as we know she is not
married, has no children, so may have more time
than some others to support. Certainly she was
interested to know how to setup separate logons.
We did not show her as this needs to be part of
the Head's consideration and decision.
Possibly, the two older machines (if they both have Spanish setup, could be
moved to the library and attached to the existing Epson printer, mainly for
student use, with a booking sheet,. This printer is adequate and is cheap to
run. It cannot print out some of the more complicated Word documents but for
best, students would probably go to the internet or could ask to use the
printer in the other room?
Internet access?
The school would like Internet and this would be fantastic for research and to
open the teachers and pupils to a wider world. The library could be a good
place to establish an internet-based PC, encouraging users to copy and paste
information rather than simply print out everything they find (to be economical
with paper and cartridges). Trustees and the school would need to consider
the implications of extra costs and maintenance. One approach might be to
set a one year project and monitor use in the school. Mayra, the secretary,
researched the cost of installation and maintenance through a local company.
The school has provided a proposal with costs. We were given one copy,
which is at Liz Light’s house. The school currently has the other copy, but
may pass this to Martin when he visits this month.
