HIT: Computer lab furniture

[Debbie Disher <dread@CLOUDNET.COM>]

Dear LM_Netters:
I didn't get much of a response about my questions on computer lab
furniture, but I think I have it figured out.  We are looking at Artco lab
chairs, which are on casters with a gas lift, so that they are adjustable.
Thanks for all those who responded.

Debbie, I taught for 4 years in elem. computer classrooms.   For the smaller
children, we used a phone book (old copy) for them to sit on at chairs.
Otherwise, keep your keyboards at 24-28" from the floor!  That will pretty
well determine size of chairs to use.   Send me any other questions you
have.  I can also recommend room arrangement of tables if you like.      Edith

We got some nice computer tables through Libra Tech in Argyle, Texas near
Dallas Texas. The were made somewhere in Arizona I think. Some brand like
ESCE??? Our district bought them so I do not know particulars.

 I've talked to teachers who use a lab with computers in clusters.  They
walk themselves to death trying to help students, because they can only see
a few screens at a time.  It's much more effective to put the teacher at the
center of a square or a U.  Do your planners envisions students using
separate computers but working cooperatively, or will a small group share
one computer?
