Educating Bratz (Not!)

So today is another experiment with internet and using computers in the access room. The main problem with doing or organising such classes will always be very directly related to lack of facilities. 4 Archimedes is a class of 32 active people (mind you, SBPs do have an overflow of students too), all needing their own space but they are left to work around 8 working PCs (okay, there are 9 but I am using one to organise the class and typing this.. heh!)

But being the good children that they are, they still find ways to overcome the problem. What I try to do is to ensure all the members have the opportunity to work. Switch the person typing every now and then, make sure we direct them to apt sites, make sure their presentations are good enough (but again, what is good enough?)...

It is going to be challenging with the large class of 4 Archimedes but trying is the first step. What I really need to do right now is separate the blaring sounds of Lady Gaga, Akon and Katy Perry all mixed up, tangling my already knotted mind.

  1. Mmhm...
    i would suggest that you delete all music files in the computer, prevent MP3s from being brought into the room.

    And uh,
    somehow bring in 60++ more computers in there.
