(1) from "Bob Peckham" <[log in to unmask]> --- The person who wrote this foolishly assumes that all educational institutions are the same, have the same kind of students. Here are some of the reasons we still have a lab (even without a director). 1. Working with digital technologies is an integral part of what our students are asked to do. 2. A number of our students have no internet service at home. 3. Some have no computer. More than half with internet do not have high speed. 4. Very few can make recordings on their computers or have the apps they need to do what we want. There are other reasons, like the fact that many students are not buying laptops with their tech dollar; they are going for hand-held devices (iphones, etc.) Go to http://www.tflta.org/ Click on the TFLTA JOURNAL link and read my article "Information Dynamics for Twenty-First Century Literacy Guides", pp. 41-49 TBob Robert D.

Judy (3) from Sarah Withee [log in to unmask] I'd place much more credence in the views of Brian Hawkins and Diana Oblinger of Educause on the need for computer labs (and by extension, language labs). Please see their article in the Educause Review entitled "The Myth about the Need for Public Computer Labs." http://www.educause.edu/EDUCAUSE+Review/EDUCAUSEReviewMagazineVolume42/The MythabouttheNeedforPublicCo/161912 Whoever this Joshua Kim is, he is not paying attention to the major voices in higher ed IT today.
