Approach Administrator
Schedule an appointment with the Principal to discuss rearranging the library classroom into a computer lab setting. Explain how this setting will aid in teaching technology and units that are taught in collaboration with teachers. (There is talk about our PTO purchasing a Promethean Board for the library. I want to make sure the library is prepared for the new addition) -
Plan Move
Create a floor plan using floorplanner.com. Check to see if wires will need to be moved. See if extra power cords are needed. Make a list of needed items. -
Check Storage
Verify that the 2 power cords and 2 overfloor electical strips are in the storage closet. If they are not there, complete a PO when approval for the project is received or ask Technology director if these are available somewhere else in the district. -
Email Technology Director/cc Principal
Email the Technology Director (cc Principal) the floor plan for the proposed move of the computers in the library classroom. Ask for permission to move the computers and tables. Also verify if a work order needs to be completed since the work will be done by Noelle (Library Aide) and myself; no wires need to be adjusted. Tell him the projected moving day is 2/14/14 since it should be a slow library day. No extra funding is required since the move will be completed during school hours. -
Follow up on Email
Follow up on email to Technology Director if you did not receive a response. Make sure a work order does not have to be sent. If you do need a work order, complete one today. -
Prep back classroom for move
Move and dust tables, vacuum floor, and check to make sure there is enough power cords. -
Move Computers
Noelle and I will move computers while classrooms are having their Valentine's Day parties. No overtime fees will need to incur. -
