Netters: I need your help - ASAP - I have an opportunity to discuss the following with our Technology Director for the District, so it may impact other media centers besides mine - we are all of varying sizes & have varied configurations regarding technology. Situation: - elementary - fixed schedules (I teach 26 classes of 3rd - 5th for 30/min/week = ~780 students) - at least 1/3 to 1/2 of curriculum should be teaching & collaborting on research - I have no access (they are booked up by classroom teachers) to the computer lab (some schools do/some don't) - I have 4 desktop computers + 1 teaching computer to use & have wrestled 4 - 6 very old laptops for media --> groups of 4 -5 students at a computer to apply & practice what I model during media class - infrequent access to some laptops where students often need to share & take time to set up (I only have 20 - 22 minutes for a class) Goal: there is a possibly of funneling some surplus computers to the media center(s) OR they may go to classroom teachers who already have a teaching computer in their room & 1 hour of computer lab time/week with each student having access to their own computer I need to make convincing points on this issue - to bring more computers into the media center for purposes of student use in research - please direct comments/help to me off the list serve Please respect my position and do not discuss your opinions of THIS situation on the listserv as I am proactive and need to move forward on this issue & not dwell on the negative AND I would like this to stay within this community and not go beyond it's borders.
