Write the name of your school staff present at today's workshop:

1. Steve Gipson 

2. Matt McDonell here's my page: http://mcdonelltechportfolio.pbworks.com/

3. Laraine Cook

The goal of this activity is:

     (1) an opportunity to discuss and share with others how your school manages your computer lab

     (2) Become familiar the skills of using a wiki and possible future uses for this sort of application for the classroom

Discuss these prompts. One person from your group will write a few notes as you discuss the following: 

• How are classes using your school computer lab?
  • research: school projects
  • word processing and printing
  • creating web-based digital portfolios (dreamweaver)
  • art: digital photography, animation, illustration
  • presentations (powerpoint)
  • communication (e-mail, pickupdropoff folders, school blog)
  • online content (grading programs, online quizzes and assignments)
  • instruction: technology tools, core content
  • online yearbook
•  

• What special tips do you have for managing your lab for other schools? (e.g - Possible tips to share: How does your school assure maintenance and security? Who is responsible for for management? How does your school ensure equity and accessibility to the lab for all classes?)
  • Each lab has an assigned lab manager
    • Scheduling (online yahoo! calendars accessible by anyone, only editable by lab manager)
    • Maintenance (in coordination with tech support personnel), esp. troubleshooting
    • Part of technology committee which makes technology plans and decisions (and PD) for entire school
  • Security: Only lab managers have keys to the labs, all hardware is locked down to furniture
  • Printing: Teacher responsible for providing paper to students as needed, header page tells who sent each print job
  • Equity: each lab is prioritized for a particular department (lab managers represent all departments), Other teachers can use the lab on a case by case basis if their own department's lab is being used for a particular period, but can't book other departments' labs for extended projects.

• What might be a few concerns or issues about your lab that your school is still working on solutions to solve?
