Computer Labs in Schools

I think that schools can think of better ways than to have computer labs in their schools. They don't have very many computer labs at schools but teachers still expect students to use the Internet as a source. This leaves students only opportunity to work on projects at home. Also every teacher in the school might want to use the same computer lab and so it is difficult to get into computer labs. A lot of schools also have their computer labs in the library so students are not able to talk a loud as they would in a classroom because they have to be quiet in the library. The library also has a lot of distractions around it as well. There can be other students in the library that can distract the students from their work. I think that it would be a lot easier on teachers and students if they just personal laptops for each classroom. I think that the teachers would like it more because they wouldn't have to plan around when they can get into the computer lab. I also think students would like it more because they would be able to use the computers whenever they needed them for their assignments. Here is a website that gives out alternatives to school computer labs, http://middlehighschool.suite101.com/article.cfm/alternatives_to_the_school_computer_lab
