Well, I finally got some teacher laptops out in the hands of the teachers who need to use them. There were some problems with joining them to the domain, but it is working. I am enlisting the aid of some student techs who will be learning how to deal with problems and aid teachers and students. I like the idea of involving students in the process because it also emulates the concept of 21st century learning. It also empowers them and gives credence to the skills that are needed to begin working with technology. I also found a quirk in Lenovo's in that the first time they are joined to the domain with a teacher login that they will not find the domain. They must be plugged in before they are turned on. We will go to open box training tomorrow.
