To all Lab Aides,

The Listserv is having trouble accepting attachments. I will paste the
minutes in. Dee Burrell says the format can fall apart when this happens.

Lab Aide Meeting-Minutes
November 13, 2006

1)	Sheri Tarter, Basic Skills Math Specialist, spoke and demonstrated the
Pearson SuccessNet web site for the lab aides. This website was included
with the new math textbook series distributed last year. The site is very
comprehensive. Teacher must obtain training before they gain access to the
site. Lab aides should talk about access with the Basic Skills teacher from
their school site. There are a limited amount of accounts. There are
possible issues with the website. There are plug-ins necessary to drive the
site. Flash and Shockwave are major plug-ins that need to be updated. 
ActiveX wants to install itself on Windows machines when a PC connects with
the site. If a computer has Deep Freeze or Foolproof on it, it will be
necessary to unlock or unfreeze the computer to allow this install.
Otherwise, ActiveX will need to be installed each time the site is visited. 
2)	Plug-ins: Check out the Intranet website,  intra/webtools  , created by
Nathan Myers. It reads your computers plug-ins and reports back to you what
recommendations are needed. Be sure to read the warnings so you don’t create
problems for yourself. The readings made by webtools are not 100% accurate.
Sometimes it misreads your computer, but it makes a good starting point for
troubleshooting a browser. By the way, plug-ins can be browser specific.
That is, it may require an install of a plug-in in each browser you use,
(ex: Internet Explorer and Firefox).
3)	The next lad aide meeting is Tuesday, January 23, 2007.  9-11 am @
Franklin East. Franklin East is just north of Mesa High School. Park on the
west side of the school or on 8th Ave.
