Today, I talked with technology facilitator about the school budget planning . According to her, each school has a different budget plan about technology. Alter High School I went for my internship divides its technology budget to seven different categories. These are:

Hardware Administration: It is about keyboard, monitor etc. Each five year, all computers should be changed in the school. But some computers that are used for digital art class should be changed in each three years because in this class, memory of computers is used more than other classes.
Software Administration: It is about purchasing Microsoft Office Programs or something like that.
Technology Supplies Administration: It is about purchasing new outlets, new cables, and something like that.
Hardware Instructional: It is about directions or tutorials on PowerPoint, DVD, and CD for teachers that explain how to use this hardware.
Software Instructional: It is about directions or tutorials on PowerPoint, DVD, and CD for teachers that explain how to use this software.
Technology Supplies Instructional: It is about extra technology staff like sprays to clean monitor, or vacuum cleaner to clean projectors’ filters.
Other Support Technology: It is about hiring technology people to get help to install some technology system like installing network system throughout the school.

Today Beth gave me the papers including answers for my active research as seems below:

I tried to analyze the results.

The other thing I did today was the observation Jeff's working. He created image by using network instead of using CD or DVD. Using network to create image is really easy when compared with creation with CD or DVD. Thanks to using network, in seconds, 50 computers can be created image. It is amazing!
