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 disruptive.

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 document camera
  • 1 teacher workstation connected to a video projector

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.

Before Using the Lab

Learn how to use the software you intend to use with your class.

Get department chair approval for lessons involving Internet use.

Sign up for lab times using the Online Lab Sign up. (Not during Summer school, however.)

Reservations of five or more consecutive school days must be approved by Michael Bachrodt, technology coordinator.

Please keep multiple day and multiple period requests reasonable.

If you need to cancel your lab reservation, please notify the Technology Staff immediately, either via the Online Lab Sign up , e-mail, or phone (x 2762).

Remind students to bring any necessary supplies, such as textbooks, disks, or pictures for scanning.

Beginning of Period

Assign seating (i.e. number in grade book is the assigned workstation number).

Check the general condition of lab.

Report any technology problems to a technology staff member.

During the Period

No food or drinks are allowed in the lab.

Only Media or Technology Staff should attempt to resolve technology issues, such as printer paper jams.

End of Period

Close the software that is being used and logout of Windows.

Users should shut down computers at the end of the school day.

Check to see that the room is in order (i.e. papers are recycled and garbage is thrown away, keyboards and mice are placed in their drawers, keyboard drawers and chairs are pushed in, desks and chairs are returned to their original positions).

Do not turn off the printers or monitors.

Science, Foreign Language, Family and Consumer Science, and Social Studies also have carts available for their departments to use.

The Edtech staff is happy to assist with your technology needs and questions!
