 Oh Where, Oh Where Did My Computer Lab Go? "With the new online version of the NC Computer Skills Test came unforeseen tie ups of our school's main computer lab for a 3 week period of time as well as the 'lab' in our Media Center for 1 week. I will admit that I am a bit befuddled about how to conduct this review/testing next year. I really hate telling teachers that they're going to have to wait to do that fabulous Internet activity for a month or that their class can't blog or create a newsletter for several weeks. There has to be a better way to do this stuff!" This points to a larger supply/demand challenge. How do we funnel thirty classes during any given period into one or two computer labs? Our current work around is almost Darwinian in nature--survival of the fittest. I can assure you that our continued adoption of Web 2.0 applications and 21st century information resources will only exacerbate this challenge...a challenge that exists to some degree at every one of our schools. Lisa's solution: What are we waiting for? Roll-in the wireless laptop carts! Visit Lisa's Click 'o the Mouse blog to read the true Morehead Middle story called Computer Lab Lockup. |
