Don't Call It A Comeback

Ever have a story that you really want to tell, but forget to get it down? Yeah, me too. Here's mine

About two months ago I got to be part of an inservice day at the school I work at. The goal for the inservice day was to become familiar with the test results and how to use them to help the students achieve more in the future. In theory, this was a great idea. The teachers were able to see exactly where each student struggled in the reading and math tests. The end result of this would be more help for each student.

Of course, there were problems. First off, some of the laptops weren't properly charged so they shut down shortly after being turned on. Another (bigger) problem was the website being used to access the results. Because the whole building was trying to access the site, it became incredibly slowed down. This frustrated many teachers who were trying to learn new technology.

I think this just goes to show that even the best plans will have some problems. For me, it was amusing to watch, but even I was a little frustrated with the website. Of course now, after two months off, I can laugh about. That's life
