[CASL-L] computer lab or cart scheduling

[KALUZYNSKI SARA]

I use the calendar in Outlook email public folders so teachers can view 24/7.   The labs are self-service; staff have rights to sign themselves up.  The mobile carts are on a request basis; teachers can see the calendar and then they request it.



You might want to limit how far in advance teachers can reserve--otherwise you might have someone book a lab every Monday and Wednesday for the whole year.  Been there.  Awkward.



If we were a Google App school, I'd switch to a Google calendar.  Students often can't remember which lab they are scheduled too, either, and they could see it themselves.



Good luck!

Subject: [CASL-L] computer lab or cart scheduling

We have quite a few computer labs and carts here and i am one person responsible for scheduling them.  Right now we use a giant paper calender per lab and it has worked out ok. Conflicts have arisen about who signed up for what period first and people wanting to schedule from home, poor hand writing etc.  Does anyone use technology to schedule labs or carts like a google spread sheet or calender or other means.
