Our computer lab holds 30 student computers with one teacher workstation. This computer lab is used for all technology classes, and therefore does not allow core curriculum classes or other elective classes to use the facility as well. My science classroom has one teacher workstation, and a sliding chalkbaord. If students were to do internet research or other computer related projects, they would have to make sure 130 other students weren't using the 3 terminal student workstations we have to use for all science classrooms, since the computer lab is not available.
