IMS – What I learned

DAY ONE – Elementary School Visit.

• Drop off a computer at a school. 
• Drop off iPad cases at a different school.
• Fix a vice principals internet access on her mac. Only could do so by making the VP an admin to the computer, no clue why. 
• Changed a schools AP.
• Set up the schools AP.
• Looked at the networking software to view everything about who’s on the network, even shows what AP they are connected to.
• Viewed the server room of an elementary school.
• Showed how users accounts are set up, and how they are managed in privileged “groups”.
• Repaired a fax machine / scanner.
• Set up the fax / scanner to send to their shared folder.
• A program on the secretaries account wouldn’t open up unless we ran it as the tech account. We gave the secretary admin access to just that computer, and the program opened fine. 

DAY TWO – DEC Tech

• Set up new laptops for the Assistant Super Intendants.
• Delivered the Assistants Super Intendants laptops.
• Set up those laptops to stay connected to external display when the laptop is shut. 
• Found out that Apples Mini Display ports work on the new Dell Laptops 🙂
• Gave the Assistant Super Intendants admin rights to their specific laptop
• Re-Imaged computers
• Shared one persons Outlook calendar with other people in Human Resources.
• One user wouldn’t let us send the calendar to her, I figured out that she was still using mail1 and we changed her email address and it was then able to share with her.

DAY THREE – SurreySchools Website

• Showed us the coding that composes of surreyschools.ca
• Went to a meeting about having teachers do REQUIRED learning on surreyschools.ca before they are hired.
• Showed us the server room at IMS
• Talked about the app we are currently working on and how we can implement what they use on surreyschools to be implemented within our application.
