I think this discussion in what's wrong with computer labs is extremely ironic. Our school district technology leaders have made it VERY clear the past few...
Mark, I can chip in here as one against labs. 1. The focus on typing skills seems misplaced when a. These are $1000.00 machines, so a lab can cost $20,000.00+...
