Being an employer of the Technology Department of the school district, I have to maintain all required certifications in order to service computer and printers. I was able to successfully pass my HP Certification Exam. This is a two hour exam. My certification is now current for one year. I am now able to service all technology equipment at Hill Elementary and other locations. Had a meeting with the Director of Technology (Ed Cannady). He informed me of how many new computers Hill Elementary was receiving during the summer. We discussed in which rooms the new computers would be going. We also discussed the plan for where the old machine would be going and how long it would take. I routinely review students’ permissions within Active Directory to ensure the prevention of accessing restricted websites. I also review permissions to prevent students from changing settings within the computers. We have a lot of issues with students trying to hack into the computers to gain access to restricted websites. This would be deemed unethical. I removed viruses from two teacher computers. I also connected three teacher’s computers to print to a color printer in the conference room. I routinely receive service tickets for computer issues. I completed five service tickets at Hill Elementary. Most of the older computers are having software issues. These issues will be addressed when the older computers are replaced by new computers over the summer. I installed hard drives on two teacher computers. I also replaced a fuser on a Lexmark M410 printer. I replaced a network card on a Lexmark T510 printer. The printers are getting old and are requiring a lot of repair. Most printers will be replaced over the summer.
