- Hi, Scott. I just read where you were from and had to ask if you know
- Phillip Dean from Blayney H.S.? I think he is the computer coordinator
- there and about to swap positions with a math teacher from our high
- school here in Colorado. I also thought it would be nice to comunicate
- with someone far away as I will be demonstrating this BBS to our
- science department on December 2. I am the computer technology aide at
- Highlands Ranch H.S. here in Colorado. I'll throw in my thoughts of
- AtEase. We are just in the process of evaluating it for possible use in
- at least one of our labs. The thought may be true about it interferring
- with the students learning how to use the Mac but we think it may solve
- one of our major problems which is that too many of the kids know how
- to use the Mac too well and are messing in areas that they shouldn't
- be. We are concerned about our lab of 24 machines with hard drives,
- not on a file server. They add and delete items from the system folder
- and turn ApplShare on and off and it can be a real pain. It hasn't been
- too much of a problem up to this year because the labs were generally
- used for computer classes and the teachers knew what to be on the
- lookout for but now we have three classes that use the labs for
- different levels of writing and the teachers are pretty much oblivious
- to what the students are getting into on the machines. It may be a good
- solution for that lab. I understand that you can turn it on and off so
- you could teach about the Mac and then restrict when necessary. This is
- getting too long. I look forward to your reply. Reply here or in the
- member section for private. Linda Bush
