X2 Development Corporation: Extraordinary Service?

X2 Development Corporation: Extraordinary Service? Yes indeed!

So one of my last projects for my old school district (I’m still consulting forLanyards them this summer as they wrap up some big projects and bring an awesome new tech director on board) was to shepherd the high school through the implementation of a new schedule. After 14 years of a simple 4×4 block, the teachers and administrators agreed that it was time for a change and moved to a 6×7 rotating long block with multiple bell schedules and varying rotations by period and day. There was actually some sound pedagogy behind the switch and the scheme they ultimately chose,Lanyards, but suffice to say, scheduling was not as straightforward as it had been in years past.

With school starting next week, I noticed a couple days ago that there were only 6 days in the final schedule that we’d rolled out of the sandboxes we’d created and into production. I didn’t panic at first. The schedule, after all,?? ????? ???????????? ????, was 6 days when you viewed it flat and unrotated,Make Your Next Cocktail Party A “Big City” Affair, so maybe I was just missing something, right?

Wrong. During the rollover to production, I missed the step where you apply the rotation. Had I not missed that step, I also would have discovered a subtle but fatal problem with the way we had created our rotating long block. Woops. Within about 15 seconds I had fired offLanyards an email to our account manager at our SIS provider, X2 Development Corporation, with lots of capital letters and exclamation points.

Very shortly, a detailed email appeared in my inbox, assessing the impact of the problem and presenting two courses of action. A phone call later and we’d not only chosen a course of action, but X2’s resident rock star programmer was sorting out the details personally (they have a few rock stars,?? (7) ?? ????, actually, but Baiyun is just incredible). I was sitting down to dinner last night when I received a call from the programmer who had uncovered the more serious structural problem and wanted my OK to fix it, first determining precisely what our requirements were forLanyards that long block which was quickly becoming the bane of my existence.
