**Problems defined by High School Promethean Users**
**//Open Issues for All//**
 * Laptop to use at home for practice and design ||
 * Continued Training needed, embedded with teacher(2 year Online class was frustrating and not on technology, more on strong teaching techniques with little to no Promethean experiences) ||
 * For the purpose of observation can we define: basic, intermediate and advanced? Is basic use enough? ||
 * When does the training stop, what is the basic level of training required? ||
 * Power to Prom. Board(and other hardware problems) ||
 * What are the minimum requirements for me to have the equipment in my classroom? ||
 * Should a teacher be removed from a Promethean classroom for non-use? ||
 * No feedback on Tech. Problems(cause, solutions, ETA on repair for planning purposes) ||

**Road Blocks:**
 * Update all equipment simultaneously, make sure all classroom's software are updated together ||  ||


 * Fix broken equipment in a timely manner so I can plan my lessons ||  ||


 * Yearly updates and Hardware checks for every computer. ||  ||


 * Who orders new equipment, printer cartrages vs. Projector bulbs. Is there a list of who orders what? ||  ||
