[quote=Anonymous]How lack of sufficient technology (copy machine, printers, computers etc) could impede my ability to work so much. When I have 30 minutes for planning, at least half of it is spent waiting for something to work that doesn’t work. My room is a 5 minute walk to the copy machine, so I don’t have time to use it during the day because by the time I get there, I won’t have time to unjam it when it inevitably jams. The closest printer is down the hall and I’ll press print and walk down the hall to get what I printed and it won’t have actually printed. Rinse and repeat.

Or I’ll run down the hall to put card stock or colored paper in it and run back to my room to press print and when I go to pick up what I printed I see that someone else printed something while I was running down the hall and their work printed on my paper. Seeing the spinning wheel and having to wait every time I try to click on something or respond to an email. Just a lot of things that are time sucking and time is at a premium. Only one employee  in the school is allowed to use the laminator so I’ll put my stuff in on the assigned day and plan my lessons accordingly and when I go to pick up the laminated materials to have time to cut them out, I find that it wasn’t actually done.  Some days I leave so frustrated, and I can’t believe why we don’t have the sufficient equipment we need to be able to do our jobs. [/quote]
