Practicum 1 Day 3: Nov 28, 2013

Today at Lifetime Learning Center we had a bit of a slow day dealing with only minor issues. I spent most of the day dealing with minor computer issues around the offices of our co-workers. I also spent some time helping another co-worker pick and order a few laptops for Lifetime Learning.

Once I arrived there wasn't much to do since the last couple of days we were able to fix and complete any of the problems and tasks that occurred. So I was mainly looking around and asking people if they needed any help and if not then I told them if they needed any help then to give me a howler.

Then to finish off the day Diana and David asked myself and another co-worker to help decide on which computer(s) to order from a donation center for the benefit of Lifetime Learning Center. There were surprisingly low prices for the computers. We decided to order 10 laptops and a network printer and it only ended up costing about $25! There were free shipping for ordering 10 or more laptops and myself and another co-worker decided that we don't need to order the upgraded laptops which comes with Microsoft Office and Windows 7. Which would cost $65 per laptop, we decided to get the lower model with Windows XP and no Office and that we could get Win 7 and Office on the laptops for free. So it turned out to be a good deal.

Myself and another co-worker (Bryce) decided that we could split the work with 5 laptops each to work on to get Win 7 and Office.

I can't wait for this order to come in, because I want more work to do.


Thanks for taking the time to read this,


Sincerely,
