Restructuring

GREAT NEWS!! The county is willing to work with us so that teachers can use the student shared L: drive effectively, without having to mess with the file permissions themselves. //The catch is that all data in the L: drive will be erased when the folder structure is setup, so Departments and teachers will need to back up their files by copying them to their H: drives, or the I: drive temporarily. Everything can be put back once the structure is in place.// I’ve posted two documents that need review/revision. They’ll be sent in (as is), unless I hear back with corrections by September 5, 2008. // Login to Edline, and click on “Technology,” and then “Networking,” and then “Student Shared (L:) drive”—both documents are posted there to avoid clogging your email inboxes. // > // Read this first so you understand why letting the county do this for us—even with the inconvenience of having to backup data and replace it—is great for our students (standardization) and for us (folder permissions are already set—no mysterious “permissions” fiddling, files won’t be “accidentally” erased or overwritten!) // > // Please review and make sure that if you want space on the L: drive, your program is listed. Email corrections to Hilary a.s.a.p! If you’d like me to sit down and discuss this with you, we can setup an appointment sometime next week. // I think that this is a great way for teachers to all use the same language and format--that way, students can feel more comfortable completing and submitting digital assignments.
