My current lab is in a room 30' X 24'. I currently have classes up to 28 students in grades K through 6. I have 32 student computers with 19" monitors (21" across), 1 server, 1 Smartboard with its own computer, my desk and computer, 3 printers, 2 switches, 1 wireless router, 2 external harddrives, and a large screen television....See More 14 minutes
My current lab is in a room 30' X 24'. I currently have classes up to 28 students in grades K through 6. I have 32 student computers with 19" monitors (21" across), 1 server, 1 Smartboard with its own computer, my desk and computer, 3 printers, 2 switches, 1 wireless router, 2 external harddrives, and a large screen television.
The lab is moving into a room that is 12' X23'. One of the 12' walls is really windows with heating system under them and the other 12' wall has the entry way door (5' wall - 3' door - 4' wall).
Can someone design the space to accommodate everything? Oh, Smartboard won't be moved.

I am looking for advice and lesson plans for a 9th grade computer class that I just inherited and will be teacher in a month. I would welcome ideas on what works for you to get me started.
I am trying to figure out a quick and easy way to have name, date, table number and block number to automatically print out to pdf (for an entire block or for all my students).
Other than have them write it themselves.
Anyone use Microsoft Access?
I am a volunteer in an after-school program. I see some students struggling. If the student is writing some instructions to navigate a maze, such as, Forward, Forward, Right, Forward, Left and the student makes a mistake, then the student has difficulty seeing where his instructions do not correspond to the correct path. If students makes a wrong t...See MoreI am a volunteer in an after-school program. I see some students struggling. If the student is writing some instructions to navigate a maze, such as, Forward, Forward, Right, Forward, Left and the student makes a mistake, then the student has difficulty seeing where his instructions do not correspond to the correct path. If students makes a wrong turn or takes too many steps, their first instinct is to add more steps, which gets them even further off the path. The Hour of Code-Moanna is similar to Minecraft

Hi there, I've taught Tech for many years. My lesson plans included 4 or 5 activities a day. I would move the activities down as the students finished them, and then add a new activity to the top. The class starter was always a typing keyboard warmup. My students loved Classic Tales Typing....especially the ones that were numbered in the 20 - 30 as...See MoreHi there, I've taught Tech for many years. My lesson plans included 4 or 5 activities a day. I would move the activities down as the students finished them, and then add a new activity to the top. The class starter was always a typing keyboard warmup. My students loved Classic Tales Typing....especially the ones that were numbered in the 20 - 30 assignments. You can choose any one you want. The program grades the assignment....and it's free.
Anyone who finished early could go to CGF Learnfree.org. they would put on headphones, watch a video, then practice that skill. If they learned it well enough to teach to someone else, they had mastered it. Students tracked their own progress by maintaining a log in Excel, or in a table in Word. They would type in the date, the skill, and the level, by pasting smiley expressions to depict their level of expertise. Expressions were defined like this: 1. Not a clue, yet 2. I like it but I have a lot to learn 3. Hey, I've got this, but not enough to teach it and 4. I've mastered it, let me show you how! So, that was the rubric. Students knew they could never go on to the next assignment unless I told them to, or they had finished the one before it. Hope this helps. Susan
I'm trying to help a co-worker who is having a challenge, but I've never taught computers, so I'm unsure how to help. I teach elementary school.

I teach elementary school. She teaches middle school and also 11th and 12th grade, and several of her students consistently finish early. She's a first year teacher and doesn't know what to have the students do when they finish an assignment early. I've never taught her subject matter before so I'm at a bit of a loss. She's currently letting them practice typing if they finish early. I think it would be useful if she had a plan for her higher acheiving students. Right now, I think she's coming up with things to keep them busy on the spur of the moment. Some differentiation here might help, but as I said, she's new and still learning. If anyone has any ideas to share, I would really appreciate it.
My K-5 school has an aging computer lab. We have been integrating chromebooks throughout the school, and have a modest supply at each grade level (not one-to-one). My principal is trying to decide whether to buy new PCs for the lab, or simply purchase more chromebooks. Should we go Google monoculture, or maintain some computing diversity?
