Goals: Grade:** Classroom: Cisco Lab Period: 5 - 10:59-11:45 Technology Application(s) Covered: Exam Review (See Handout) Previously, He was using CES but too expensive and just not happy with product. This year for the first time, using Ciso Curriculum (it's free and quite happy with it thus far).

Not sure of continued usage across classrooms. Frustration on lack of support for troubleshootong and maintenance of equipment building-wide (Relies on assistance from Mr. Meenan to offer troubleshooting assistance). Only the twenty stations in library for student access in entire building. Same teachers requesting carts all-the time; would like to see more on creative uses of technology, better support and organized plan for acquisition. Open invite to use center if we need a space for PD. Easier to schedule use during afterschool.
