[Year 12 IPM] Ratio of students to computers

[Roland Gesthuizen]

Golly, 1:1 is ambitious but not unheard of.
 
We have set our curriculum PC ratio at 1:4 with two 26 labs, two 13 labs,
two 10 pods, and 10 library with good access outside class-time. All PC's
have a near identical setup and image. College teaching staff have their own
laptop. Seems to be enough of a mix to keep us all happy and busy.

Perhaps reducing your TCO with software such as OpenOffice would help you
access some new avenues of funding for more computers.

Regards Roland

Subject: [Year 12 IPM] Ratio of students to computers

Is there any school "out there" that has a computer for every single student
for every single class. I am dealing with a couple of teachers with
unrealistic
expectations and I would like to say to them that sometimes students just
have to share computers in most schools.
