[CASL-L] HS Library Computer Lab - 1-to-1 Chromebooks

[Michele Eligio]

Hi Everyone,

I know this question has been addressed multiple times; however, I would
appreciate an up to the minute snapshot of what everyone currently has in
their districts with respect to retaining a library computer lab with a
1-to-1 Chromebook initiative.

We are a new 1-to-1 Chromebook school. We have many computer labs that the
district is contemplating closing and most likely re-purposing to learning
lab centers. The district technology director recently asked me to begin
considering dismantling the computer lab in the library - 32 hardwired
computers.

I have some reservation as the lab is periodically used for testing, for
student printing, etc... Plus, if the district is already considering the
possibility of utilizing one or more of its labs to designate them as
learning centers, I think this would be a natural fit for our library
learning commons model to have such a center here. However, I am not sure
we would need all 32 computers. I also don't know if because we are new to
the 1-to-1 Chromebook initiative, if as time passes, we will find that the
hard wired computers are used less and less.

Therefore, I would greatly appreciate it if those of you at the HS level
who have had 1-to-1 programs in your districts for a while would share your
insight on this issue.
