backhelphome

 

Preamble:

The Middle/High School campus of the American School Foundation of Monterrey is equipped with four computer labs for computer classes, one half lab for Yearbook classes, and other computer equipment that can be booked for class use–the Library (25 Desktops and a Laptop Cart (13) and the sign-out lab (A104). This document outlines the booking procedure and rules of use for A104. For booking of the Library spaces, please see Library staff.

Procedure:

  1. Look for available periods on the MSHS A104 Booking Calendar.
  2. Book lab by sending an email to Adriana Hernandez with the dates and time blocks/periods requested.
    (** Please note that special care is needed for Friday period 6/7 bookings due to a schedule overlap.)

Policy:

  • Lab can be booked for the entire school year (starting from August 1st of that school year) Please try to keep changes and cancellations to a minimum.
  • Last minute (current day) booking is fine if it is available and no change in setup is required. Keep in mind that your request could be denied.
  • This is a valuable resource. Please use it sparingly so that other teachers will be have access.
    • Max 8 visits in one month per period you teach (A104 & Library combined).
    • Maximum of 2 visits per week per period that you teach.
    • No-shows are unfair to other teachers and will be tracked.
  • IT Department needs 1 week notice to install new software (check the MSHS Software List to ensure that your required software is available) Keep in mind that this is subject to legal availability of software.
  • Check here for Internet Access Settings if you need students to research a certain topic.)
  • If you want to demonstrate something (website, software, video, etc.), book a projector for your classroom instead of A104.
  • Laptops must be configured for ASFM network access before being connected to the network in A104.
  • Lab cannot handle video editing (iMovie) due to network setup (please use A202, talk to teacher first).
  • Policy may be adjusted in the future.

Rules of Use:

  • there is to be no unsupervised use by students of the computer lab
  • leave the room in better condition than you found it
  • your class needs to exit on time
  • please return all chairs, mice, keyboards, and computers to correct positions
