Trial run of Google Calendars for Computer Lab Reservations

We are doing a trial run of using Google Calendars for Computer Lab Reservations.
After much persistence by Dan at Brooklyn, we created an online calendaring system to allow teachers to reserve the Brooklyn computer labs online.

Zach made a cool tutorial on how to use the system. You can view it here (staff login required).

Currently, this is available only in the elementary schools while we test it. If everything works well, we will expand it to the other schools.

NKE labs getting set for summer school

Asbestos abatement is complete in the Netherwood labs, so we are putting them back together for summer school. Due to heat issues in the lab, we are replacing the CRTs with LCDs. This should save the cost of HVAC improvements.

Brooklyn lab swap-out done

New computers should be installed in the Brooklyn labs today. The old ones had a horrible fan noise problem, which made a lab full of them too loud to hear the teacher. The new ones should be much quieter. The computers removed from the lab are being moved into classrooms, where there isn't as much problem with aggregate fan noise.
