[LM_NET] Advice on computer lab

[Mary Ludwick <ludwick@SWBELL.NET>]

Our school has 2 carts of wireless laptop computers to be used as a mobile
lab.  We have had them for over 2 years.  Consistently we have had problems
with the teachers using the cart and then not charging it for the next class
to use.  Now it seems the batteries won't hold a charge.
      End of long story:  The laptops are being set up in the back of the
library for a "mini-lab" to be used for projects.
      What problems should I anticipate?  We are flex and my students are
supposed to be accustomed to more than one group using the library at a
time.  Our space is large enough to have 44 students at the library tables
as well as 30 in the computer lab at one time. (yes, that would be a rocking
good time!)
