Technicians can supervise the computers but who is going to supervise the students?
unless the duty of care is not relevant, I don't think that alternative form of supervision is valid.

Love that - "cows!" Will pass that on to my staff tomorrow for a laugh.
We have four trolleys of 5 notebooks each and they have proven a
terrific resource for teachers and kids. Staff can only take one trolley
each at present as they use them when students are doing group work and
they assign one per group. It's working well at the moment.
No students are allowed into our computer labs without supervision
except trusted year 12s. Some staff shouldn't be allowed in them without
supervision either!

COWS - when I was helping out with the comms for the bushfires of 2003
up in Corryong, one acronym was Communications on Wheels. If they had to
set up a portable repeater or any kind of communications equipment, I
heard messages about COWS.
Yep. It's a good one.

We have recently gone down the path of setting up three cows (computers
on wheels). The library staff take bookings for these laptop trolleys;
nine laptops per trolley. Teachers book the cows and can use them in any
classroom. The advantage I have found with the cows is that you can
sometimes just book one cow as not all students need a computer at the
same time; ie others are doing prac tasks.

We are currently undergoing a review of the way in which we use our
computer labs here at Nagle College.
Current issues and questions revolve around the following:
Should students be allowed into a lab without teacher supervision?
Should one of the labs be set up in such a way that it is supervised all
the time (by a tech or a teacher) and teachers are free to send small
groups of kids there at any time knowing that they will be supervised.
Should we have more mini labs? (maybe several of these in the library
learning centre)
If any of you care to comment or have any procedure/practises that you
find effective it would be appreciated.
Here or directly.
