A computer learning lab refers to a reserved area
within the institution where students go to receive IT instruction with a
certain number of computers, printers, and other hardware devices equipped with
the necessary software, for learning to take place and they go to this lab at
an assigned time.
Unfortunately, the potential for off-task behavior
(such as surfing the net) also exists. Teachers need to adopt classroom
management techniques designed to avoid problems and ensure appropriate use of
the computers. The following tips can help to facilitate good classroom
management in such a venue;
- Do not tolerate the mis-use of computers.
- Designate "Think Time" or "Lids Down" time when students must direct their attention to the teacher or facilitator
- Install identical software programs.
- Set up shortcuts to software programs.
- Ask students to save files in a specific directory.
