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>

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 <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Nagle</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceType w:st="on">College</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>.<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>
