General Comments
- Ask your students to arrive in the lab before the bell rings
and stay in the lab for the entire period. Taking a
class of students through the hallways or Media Center is diruptive.
- Labs are for use by classes. They are not a
"drop-in" facility for students; there is an area in the Media Center
for "drop-in" computer use.
- In most labs, there are:
 | 32 student workstations |
| 2 printers |
| 1 scanner |
| 1 visualizer |
| 1 teacher workstation connected to a video projector |
| 30 student desks |
Do no move the computers or monitors from their positions on the
desk; this can cause the disconnection and excessive wear and tear of
cables, connectors, and other equipment.
Report any problems to the Technology Staff.
