Since I don't have time to sit at the door and police everybody when they come in, I wondered what solution you all may be using to prevent the overuse of email in your labs. I don't want to entirely do away with students' ability to use email, as some of the instructors want our language students to write to students at universities from the target language countries-- however, it's driving me crazy to wander into the computer lab and see eight or ten people chatting on my expensive computers! Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
