[quote=Anonymous]Yeah right...

You have enough outlets in your class room to safely plug in 30 laptops, connect mice, turn them on log into the schools insanely slow secured network, have kids sign on with passwords, which also takes a while with the authentication protocols, and assuming no hardware failures or broken laptops you have time for a meaningful lesson in that one hour time period?  Just how much time would that take out of an hour lesson?  You don't sound very computer literate or know what you are talking about.

^This is strictly forbidden by MCPS, you sign it out for your class, you are responsible for providing those resources to your class.   Your vision of the replacement of a computer lab is providing half of your computers to another teacher instead of providing a valid computer lab lesson to your entire class.  Kids working in small groups with a laptop means no individual time to work on the computers themselves.  It's a completely different method of teaching and instruction.[/quote]
