New Drop-in Computer Lab at KHS
Teachers at Kingsford High School have a new drop in computer
lab that they can use with their students. The new lab utilizes
thin client technology whereby all 28 stations share the computing
power of three workstations.
The cost to install the new lab was about 25% of what it would have cost if we installed with individual computers and monitors on each desk. The thin clients are also very energy efficient as compared with a classroom that has a full-size computer on each desk because the thin client uses only about 1-5 watts of energy as opposed to 110 watts that a typical computer uses. In addition, the thin clients generate virtually no heat so there is energy savings in the cost to air condition the computer lab.
Shown using the new lab is the Flivver Foundation class who
are reviewing various standardized tests and study techniques
on line.
