Digitalkatie is describing Lesson planning and planning and planning and some of the reasons things can go astray in ICT. Some great plans thwarted.

In the last couple of weeks working in our new media room I’ve had this pleasure, old machines in a new room mean I’ve been reporting a few faults. One of the most interesting has been the refusal of a few machines to show thumbnails of jpeg files. This is a bit of a show stopper for children trying to figure out which of the cryptically named files from the digital camera they took the day before. We watched as a remote technician tried for a morning to get it working (time for some bad teacher halloween jokes). In the end another tech had to visit and replace the hard drive.
