I had the opportunity to do more "grunt" work today with IT.  Scott Malugin is preparing to update the switch boxes at several of our Dickson County schools.  Today we took the 1 foot CAT 5 cables out of their packaging.

We grouped the cables into piles of 24 and tied them together.  Scott was telling me about how the switches are grouped by 24, so it makes it easier to do the "change out" if they are pre-counted.

Wednesday I'll be helping him change out the old switches and put in the new ones.  This has been a great experience for both Scott and me.  We talk about how our different views and priorities conflict and how we can make communications between IT and teachers better. I'm amazed when he tells me something that a principal was suppose to inform teachers about and we never get the information.
