I spent some time brainstorming ideas for the Spanish blog and then I hung out with Andy to tell him about the LLC capabilities/software and other things. Have a good weekend everyone.

Friday morning
Hi all, hope you had a great first week of classes!
Martha Gavilanez came over with questions about blackboard - looks like we'll have to put her three different sections in three different classes, instead of just one.
I finished dividing up the Russian workbook file, and it's all on blackboard now.
Computer A was having troubles playing the Russian CD - it showed up in My Computer, but no amount of clicking would make it open.

Kelsey's Shift 8-9am
Fairly quiet, a few students walked through. I visited with Natalia and met Mike (in the multimedia room). Everyone should go make friends with the people working in there!!! Also, if you make coffee, be sure to turn it off before you leave.

Thursday evening
Slow around here. A first-year Russian student came in needing to listen to audio files - however, they weren't the files that we have, and she might have just had them on a DVD at home.
And if Chris pretends to turn on the fans by magic, it's trick.

I shall set forth for somewhere,
I shall make the reckless choice
Some day when they are in voice
i helped a Japanese TA with her blackboard account
and her fellow comrade with the many blackboard labyrinths

Kindra's shift
So, the tech folk were in the LLC today fixing some software issues. For anyone who has been having trouble with any of the Adobe programs, the problem has been fixed on Computer A and will be fixed on the rest of the machines once we have had time to find more problems and we can fix them all in one big re-imaging sweep. So, with that, if anyone comes across anything else that needs to be fixed, please put it up on the blog and we should re-image at the end of this week.
Cool. What else… I am in the process of making name board things for those of us who don’t have them yet (i.e. Sasha and Andy) so if you two would kindly provide me with a high resolution picture of yourselves and a list of things that you are good at and would like to be formally recognized as knowing about, that would be wonderful.

Dmitriy's first successful shift
Nice to be back, ALMOST. I played around with DEBUT, it is a good program, discovered a lot of functions, no i am going to type out a mini tutorial of this program. Also, in order to change live TV channels in Debut, you need to change channels/stations in PCTV. they work together.

Kelsey again 12:45-3pm
Natalia checked out a digital still-shot camera from WITS, for use on LLC projects. She will be keeping in her office for the semester. If anyone needs it, talk to her. I finished updating the WLT 21 schedule for Fall 07 classes.
Maria Olaya met with Natalia, and they discussed using Wikis for a class effort in her SPAN 260 Literature and Translation class
Installed Korrektor Plus on computer G

Wed. 9:00-12:45
Doug is here locking up the webcams so they don't walk away. Good deal.
Today I added the Russian test mp3 files to blackboard, created the textbook exercise mp3 files from Audacity, and added those to blackboard as well. I still have one file left to divide up, but no hurry.
Also, Kevin was in looking at computer O, which appears to have sound card problems. He will be back after lunch to continue his investigations.
There has been talk of acquiring a new coffeepot, hopefully one that turns itself off automatically. If we forgot and left the coffeepot on in the viewing room, the results could be disastrous!

Kelsey's Shift 8-9am
It was a good morning. I showed a few freshman how to get around to WLT 21 w/out going through the LLC. The webcams are currently in the process of being anchored to the computers. And I started editing the WLT 21 schedule on the webpage. I'll finish that when I come in later today. I hope everyone has a great day!

Kelsey's Shift 7-9pm
It was an evening shift, so it was pretty relaxing down here....thankfully, it wasn't too hot either. I emailed the classics faculty. I also fixed the links on the Students resources page of the LLC website.

Sascha's shift from 12.30-3.00
I uploaded the Chinese basic audio files to blackboard. I am starting work on a large project that consists of making a video tutorial of Le Petit Robert that would outline some specific features of the program. If anybody is interested in helping it would be greatly appreciated. Peace

Kelsey's Shift 11:30-12:30
The Classics faculty came in and Natalia and I introduced them to the wonder that is Latina 4.0....ooooooh-ahhhhhhh. Mary had already seen Gramma, so I didn't get to show that one off *tear*. Oh well, it went splendidly! Yay Classics!
Research Italian internet feeds.

Hey LLC,
It was a productive first shift. A Russian class came in for orientation and random lost freshman wandered about searching for the elusive Walton 21.
Also, a girl (Mercedes Mandich) came into with blackboard troubles. She apparently cannot access blackboard at all. I e-mailed Cheryl, but if anyone knows who is in charge of enrolling students into blackboard, please let me know.
Other than that, I think the "Spanish--language learning" link is wrong on the "New Resources" page on the LLC website. It takes you to a French page instead of a Spanish page. Not a big deal, but whoever is in charge of website maintenance should check that out if they get the chance.

Welcome to fall '07!
Hey all! Glad to see you again (or meet you for the first time) and I'm looking forward to a great year!
I set the alarm off by accident this morning. Remember when you unlock the door to enter the code! If you have forgotten the code, please ask Natalia or another LLCer, and if the alarm goes off, don't panic - but please do call Campus Safety and assure them it's just you.
For the record, we got quite a bit done during our work day yesterday:
-cleaned computers, keyboards, desks, and other surfaces
-moved the bookshelf under the screen in the lab
-continued with cleaning the booth
-organized the black cabinet
...and much more!
