5. Your computers are in your classroom. What would you have to do differently if the computers were in a lab setting?
I suppose that if we didn't have the computers immediately available to us there would have to be a little bit stronger emphasis on organizing skills and [on] ahead-of-time paper and pencil kinds of activities to prepare for later on when we had access to the computers. There would be the added element of transporting people to a computer lab. I guess the organizational skills would have to be honed a little bit better. And perhaps a little bit more hands on so they could see what paper and pencil activities they needed to accomplish in order to create something elsewhere. Record-keeping kinds of activities would have to move up a little bit higher on the list of demonstrated skills. It sounds like the kinds of self-management skills that we do address in the classroom in our project, but perhaps a little more finely tuned.
