Sick of Technology

I find that my life has been super crazy these past few weeks. This past week we had parent conferences, and it can be challenging at times to accommodate everybody's needs. It was nice though to finally sit with the parents one on one and really get to know them. This week was also another major battle with the D.O tech people. The tech guys think that they have power over all of the tech stuff, yet they are not the ones actually implementing it in the schools. The DUKANE system is a school television networking system that can do many things from school broadcasting to playing videos in multiple rooms at the same time. We can have a maximum of five cable channels playing on the system at once. The tech guys seem to think that they can tell us what channels to use. They are constantly questioning why we have Spanish channels on it. They should be learning channels. Well my principal says that we can choose whatever we want and she wants us to screen things before we show them. Well the argument is going back and forth and the tech guys decided to lock up the cabinet, so now I don't have access to doing any of the programming. Uggh...just what I need right now! Petty stuff!
