[Year 12 IPM] Computer Lab usage

[Robert Minato]

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.

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.
