Readings - Week 11 - One Computer Classroom

Hey was this article written just for me? I thought I was the last person on the planet to have only one computer in their classroom!!! :) I found the article pretty useful, but some of the suggestions I already do or can't do. For example, I already use the computer as a Presentation Station. I begged, and finally received, an average (spelling???) so I can present on the TV. The only problem with this is that sometimes things are too small and my 35 students have a hard time seeing from across the room. I really like the idea of a Learning Station, but we are restricted from allowing students to use our computer. Administration, and our tech coordinator, have been pretty hardcore about student's using teachers computers. I am not quite sure why, as I have never been given a solid explanation. It is very frustrating only having the once computer (which by the way was built in the ice ages and I am lucky if it crashes less that 3 times a day). I liked the suggestions in Article One, but unfortunately don't think they work for my situation!
