Fri, 16 May 2008 18:27:16 +0000 http://www.katesays.org/?p=172#comment-812 In our district about 5-8 years ago, the computers went to crap. They were old, not working, and generally useless for anything other than word processing and a few MECC games. Our teacher were frustrated when they tried to take kids and the lab and do anything online. The frustration grew to the point where they said "Forget it!" I agree totally with this post. A few years ago, our district went through a major hardware upgrade and we have computers that work. However, some people who lost interest in using the technology, haven't regained their faith.

I have worked in not one, but up to 3 computer labs a day for 19 years. Right now I have two classes in a PC lab and 2 classes, including yearbook, in my wonderful MAC lab. Give me a lab full of MACs any day. dkzodys last blog post..<a href="http://dkzody.wordpress.com/2008/05/10/lights-camera-well-you-get-the-picture/" rel="nofollow">Lights, camera, well, you get the picture</a> I have always said that if a regular classroom teacher had to teach in a computer lab everyday, they would probably quit.
