Mobile Lab

Last year CCS decided to convert all schools to wireless.  This was a huge undertaking to the point that not all of the schools have wireless access yet.  Once we were wireless my administration decided that we needed mobile computer labs.  We only have one main lab at our school for non-CTE classes to use.  Now with the use of Class Scape, Study Island and online testing, the main computer lab is never empty.  Each mobile unit contains 30 laptops that can be checked out from the Media Center and used anywhere in the building.  If the computer lab is full, the lab will come to you.  While I appreciate the fact that we have access the this technology, I did not think that I would need to ever use them. I am a computer teacher and have my own lab.  Last week my lab went down. Last year, I would have gone to plan B.  Yet this year I was able to call our Media Coordinator and check out a mobile unit.  We did have to sit in the Media Center as the techs were working in my room on the lab.  I was able to teach and my student enjoyed using the laptops!
