These past two weeks many things happened. Problems that I solved the past week and this week we're fixing wifi problems, such as connecting to home wifi or being on the school wifi without being able to access the internet, and revising my screencast for Google Calendar. For the connecting to home wifi problem, I simply told the student to email his internet provider and say to allow the Ipad to have a proxy. This is done because the school Ipad has a proxy which pops up whenever you try to connect to a wifi that is not public, which keeps the student from looking up inappropriate things on his or her Ipad, and Internet providers such as Verizon, Comcast, and RCN does not usually allow proxies. For not being able to access the internet on school wifi problem I took the student to our COM-OUT spot. This is a spot in the building adjacent to the library that has a secure wifi that BHS has to connect to to check if the Ipad can connect to the internet. After taking her to COM-OUT, connecting her and opening the internet, I brought her back to the Help Desk, connected her onto BPS wifi and opened up the internet. It was success. These weeks I proved that I have what it takes to be a leader by accepting the challenge of going to my first Mass CUE Dare to Innovate technology convention at Gillette Stadium, and present in front of many. I was given very short notice about the convention, but was all for it. This was also a new situation for me due to it being my first time ever attending and speaking at a technology convention. If you would like to read more about the convention you can find a reflection of my time at Gillette Stadium. I also exercised my creativity these past two weeks by creating new layouts for my blog and trying out different setups for my posts. The challenges I was able to overcome were the fear of speaking in front of a big crowd. I offered good customer service these past weeks by providing fast and accurate information, so that they can come in when they need to and be out quickly, for their convenience. I was able to manage my time and set goals for myself by realizing that I had two posts this week due and a revision of a screencast due. So I made sure I finished the screencast in no more than one day school day. I also managed my two posts by working on my post for the convention at the convention, so it would be fresh in my mind. For my weekly reflection post I worked on it diligently in class on Thursday, getting most of it done so that I could put the finishing touches at home and have it done before class on Friday, when it was due. The skill I want to improve for next week and the future is talking in front of crowds. I did an alright job speaking but I would like to make that a great job speaking in front of people, so that if I have to speak in front of a future boss or present a new product I created.
