TARGET-->Technology configurations

Subject: Assistance required in planning distribution of school technology
--------

I am involved in planning technology for an elementary school, and am
pondering the various configurations and locations of computers: school
library, media lab, clusters. If you can impart some wisdom, relate some
successes (or failures) or somehow help me to avoid re-inventing the wheel,
I would be most appreciative.

In particular, I am very interested in elementary or middle school
examples of the use of full labs, libraries, and smaller computer
clusters (10-15 machines) available near classrooms that are shared by
3-4 teachers.

If you have some insights but don't have time to write out the details,
(and don't mind a phone call) please e-mail me your phone number.

Responses will be summarized and "HIT-->" back to LM_NET for your
information.

p.s. from Mike Eisenberg - I would appreciate your helping Joanne out on
this one.  The question of alternative configurations for allocation of
workstations is quickly increasing in importance to schools and
districts. Joanne is most interested in successful allocations.  Thanks
in advance.
