Some are called instructional labs and are equipped with either 25 or 31 computers. For example, In elementary schools, there is one lab of 31 computers; in middle schools, two labs of 31 computers; and in high schools, there are two labs of 31 stations and one lab of 25 computers. Standards for instructional labs have not changed recently. In addition, Career and Technical (CTE) labs are provided in middle and high schools and those standards have not changed recently either."<br /><br />If there's an issue at a specific school, I'd need more details to check it out.Ann Doss Helmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03511764376105157616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-89840406798234620752013-04-01T09:44:37.827-04:002013-04-01T09:44:37.827-04:00Bingo, 3/28 11:42 a.m. The only part you missed wa...Bingo, 3/28 11:42 a.m. The only part you missed was the 6 a.m. Monday -- I prewrite posts and set them for that time, and wasn't inspired to sneak in some Easter blogging. So you'll have to wait for 6 a.m. tomorrow, once I've waded through the inbox and figured out what's up. (We do actually take real vacation, too, so absences don't always mean furloughs.)<br /><br />RE getting these questions answered, I'm not sure whether CMS admins are working during spring break.

There is no evidence that technology improves learning, or test scores. It will become another distraction away from real learning and real teaching in the classroom. <br /><br />Yet, CMS will encourage and perpetuate the "crackberry" mentality that has taken over our young ones. I for one, as a parent, discourage dependence on technology and am happy to say it. the BYOT program is just a way for CMS to get the suburban parents to foot the bill for technology and the devices have become a crutch, or babysitter in the classroom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-27412156878633833732013-03-26T08:59:13.125-04:002013-03-26T08:59:13.125-04:00If it weren't for banks and private enterprise...If it weren't for banks and private enterprise there would be no America and it would look like some 3rd world socialist banana republic which is not that far off anyway under the current tyrant.<br /><br />http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2013/03/26/3939870/charlotte-restaurant-group-backs.html<br /><br />Polls say 85% of NC taxpayers against any tax funding for BOA? Is Mecklenburg not in NC? All taxpayers are sick of not only Obama freeloaders but also these pampered bloated useless pro sports anyway. Who do you think pays for their salaries? <br />i.e. Scam Newton made a total 27 million in 2012 and 22 million in 2011 on 2 losing teams as a mediocre player ( he was 11-11 in high school ) hyped like a god in the CO knowing the players union allowed him much of his production protecting him from harm because of who he is. In spite of his past criminal record and illegal acts he is treated with kid gloves. <br />This is one reason why taxpayers despise paying another dime to these grotesque overpaid so called professional spoiled rotten brat bums. <br />Bum owner Richardon also headed the owners group that gave the players union an extra 10 billion to end the 2011 union strike. Go fig. Richardson is a shark like his players and all pro sports. <br /><br />Who pays the bill but the masses? Why is tv cable bill going up twice a year now? Why is gas almost 4 bucks a gallon and rising? Why is food and clothing going up 10% annually in inflation while the economy remains flat? <br /><br />And they bitched and ran off Shinn while allowing 2 other freeloaders in Johnson and Jordan to play free in a new 500 million downtown NBA 17k seat arena while tearing down the bigger much nicer 24k seat Tyvola Rd 50 million coliseum completed in 1988 because it wasn't uptown and convenient? Total BS. <br /><br />The original coliseum was built way out Independence in 1957 not uptown was it not? What is with this everything has to be uptown crap crammed in like a can of sardines? <br /><br />Shark Richardson and his bum bratty players need to pay for any and all stadium improvement. Otherwise get the hell out of Dodge and tear down BOA or sell it.<br />Pro sports is completely a fraud and a gimmick anyway. Keep all amateur sports in school and college. Ditch the pro racket. People pay 60% in taxes anyway and still 17 trillion in the hole in DC under the big spender.<br /><br />Force new pappy Jordan to cough up 500 million for TWA with his 60 million annual endorsement salary or find another owner who will buy it.
