Is there hope?

One thing I have been greatly concerned about as we embark on this journey into 21st century learning is the access to computers. While they are not the end themselves, they are an indispensable tool for the process. I have expressed my reservations (and frustration) over the fact that there is only one Mobile PC cart available for checkout and only two labs. This is for a student body of 3,000 and nearly 200 teachers. How are we going to do the research for our projects if we have to wait in line for a lab? Projects would be stretched out by weeks. Flow would be disrupted.
Well, there seems to be a break in the clouds. It would seem the school has more than one PC cart. Details are sketchy but there may be as many as 3 or 4 stashed away. They lack being configured and the tech to do it. I am told it would take a tech a day (w/ overtime) to get one up and running. It would not be ours to use exclusively (that would be too much to hope for) but it would be an additional mobile lab to use. So stay tuned and I may have very good news in the near future.
In the meantime, our Correspondence Project will likely be stretched out. The milepost due on Friday 6 November will likely be extended into the following week. And it is very likely this project will be our 2nd quarter's sole project. I did not plan it that way, folks. I had hoped to get two projects in for this quarter. But, it will just not be possible, not with the shortage of computers, the increased demand for them, the holidays and the stretching out of the existing project.
In any case, we will continue to plug away, we will survive and thrive.
