Love that - "cows!" Will pass that on to my staff tomorrow for a laugh.<br>
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.<br>
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!<br>

<title>Re: [Year 12 IPM] Computer Lab usage</title>
<font face="Verdana"><span style="font-size: 12px;">Our school does
not let students into computer rooms unless under teacher supervision.
We have three computer classrooms and another computer room attached to
the library. Students are allowed to use library computers whenever
library is open.<br>
<br>
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.<br>

All<br>
<br>
We are currently undergoing a review of the way in which we use our
computer labs here at Nagle College.<br>
<br>
Current issues and questions revolve around the following:<br>
Should students be allowed into a lab without teacher supervision?<br>
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.<br>
Should we have more mini labs? (maybe several of these in the library
learning centre)<br>
<br>
If any of you care to comment or have any procedure/practises that you
find effective it would be appreciated.<br>
<br>
Here or directly.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
