First of all a computer lab isn't teaching subjects, but adding to the lessons the teachers teach in their classrooms. First inventory by grade level and then put together a base for your lab to help bring home the various subjects to the students. You should yearly be reinforcing keyboarding and how to use the wordprocessing program in your lab. I yearly review: cut, paste, center, style, fonts, etc. We also go over the tools in the draw program and 2nd grade and up all do at least one presentation. We use "Math Stars" for basic math facts and speed drills. We never repeat a program more than 3 times, rotating through: math, language, science, social studies, and of course logic. I vary the lessons by grade, using more tools and different programs. Type to Learn and Math Stars are used for all grades (first grade uses "Read, write and type"). I also update my internet homepage through wizard (FREE) that allows me to place web addresses to site I check for our students. Depending on where you are, I don't even mind showing you how are set up works and you can use any you may find helpful. I've helped many schools set up their labs. Hope this quick answer helps you.
