Professional tester Bonnie Munger of Piedmont Education Services (Pfafftown NC) will administer the nationally-standardized test, Woodcock-Johnson III, for any homeschooler grades K-12 on Friday, May 29, 2009 at the Galax Public Library from 9:00am-5:00pm. WJIII is mostly oral and students are tested individually. Cost is $65 per student. Start: 2009/05/02 10:00
Jim (Independence-Galax) and Steve (Durham) opened the doors a little before 10:00 Robert and Rebecca Jann arrived soon afterwards from North Carolina. Woody (Galax) joined about the same time. Travis and Katie from Blacksburg, David (Galax) came about 11:00. Mike and Tommy rounded out the group. Jim burned ISOs, Travis helped Robert with wireless on his Acer laptop by manipulating the driver black lists. Jim handed Rebeca Ubuntu Remix on a USB stick and Woody got her started on a reload on her EEEPC. Steve updated his Jaunty installation. Jim helped Mike update his aging IBM Thinkpad which expired (died) in the process. Mike is looking forward to another new laptop for Linux. Tommy just came to chat but he took an Alternate I386 CD to play with. We will repeat this event for the Karmic Koala release next fall. Anyone who wants to try Jaunty but missed the party can request a copy using the Contact link on the left.
