performance decreases as distance increases

Notes on useNotes on use

Buildings work out own schedule, usually with Media Clerk

Suggestion: reserve it for half-day periods with your neighbors to reduce moving it.(Moving it every hour is too much hassle.)

Use of cart isn’t mandated, but training is.

BenefitsBenefits

Great for occasions when you don’t need whole lab or if lab is booked.

Some activities work better in classroom.

Nice for lab follow-up for kids who need to catch up.

Overall, my kids love them. They like being able to work on them. They are fascinated with the fact that they are not connected to anything. –D. Jablonski

I had them do a simple Word document with pictures and inserts to help them practice using the pad. –D. North
