repost.  Am
trying again...

The technology committee at my elementary school has been given the
mission of drawing up rules for our newly created computer lab,
consisting of 16 new imacs in an "open classroom" environment. In close
proximity are two fourth grade classrooms and a special ed class.  These
classes share the same overall instructional space, with no walls separating
one from the other.  We're both excited, yet somewhat anxious, about our
new lab, as we're not sure how distracting the students' enthusiasm and
computer operations will be for those sitting feet away from the lab.

My question is this:  if you were to develop rules for the lab, which
ones would you include?  We're hoping to include rules that govern
conduct, procedures, and general guidelines for staff using the lab, as
it'll be a new experience for them, too.

Thanks for your support.  You guys are the greatest.

Would love to hear your thoughts before finalizing our draft.  I'll post
a hit if there's sufficient interest.

Thanks for your support.  You're the greatest!
