<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailEndCompose"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailEndCompose">I managed a similar change at our school. We decommissioned several computer labs, however we had to keep at least 3 digital technology computer labs active.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailEndCompose">This was a requirement to ensure students still had access to decent equipment to complete coursework.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailEndCompose">This includes a CAD Lab – for modelling (Autodesk Inventor/Fusion360) and 2 High end labs – VCE Computing & High end courses (Game Design, Programming & Print) As the other labs around the school
run out of life they are decommissioned, and not replaced. Only the three purpose built labs will remain updated.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailEndCompose"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailEndCompose">This allows our families to purchase computers that are cheaper and more built towards educational pedagogy i.e. Stylus focus for non-linear thought and brainstorming. Rather than setting out a
high end laptop that not all students will need/use. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello All <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sorry for the off topic post. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My school is looking at getting rid of our computer labs in favour of a school wide student laptop program. I was wondering if anyone else has any experience in this, especially in terms of software compatibility issues and authentication
of student SAC tasks. What should we be looking out for? and finally if anyone has any compelling arguments for keeping the labs.
