Technology Today

Technology Today – Go figure

The irony of technology today and Administration. Below is the latest standard laptop for Teachers and Staff with our school district. I am paid to repair, rebuild, image, load software, etc., etc., etc... With that being said, I will be getting the listed laptop this Thursday, but in the process I have to go to training on “HOW TO USE IT”! District Staff enter work orders for me to repair them, but I have to be trained on how to use them… How to power on, how to use the touchpad, how to log on, how to connect peripherals, etc., etc., etc…. Yea makes sense! lol… Go figure! I’m excited about it though as I will be able to take my laptop with me on my trip this week-end and hopefully be able to find some wireless set up somewhere in EP since my sister is not set up for internet…
