Welcome Class Leaders of the Laptop Lab!

For information on taking classes of the Laptop Lab, please visit the Laptop Lab homepage. Find hands-on classes via the ACPL Events calendar.

This is the resource area for the leaders and planners of the ACPL Laptop Lab program. Staff and volunteers will find links to the documents and materials to run the class. If you are logged in via Google Docs you will be able to edit (as collaborator online) or view and download locally to your computer as PDF, Doc, PPT, etc. or to customize and print as you need.
*What classes can I offer?
*Class Leader Checklist
*Inventory

(Currently a work in progress.)

Don't forget that whatever publicity you produce needs to include the following language:

This project is supported by the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Service and Technology Act, administered by the Indiana State Library.

Aware of your visitor's needs, you as Class Leader will organize and lead the use of the Laptop Lab at your location. While the Library Technology Trainer Vincent Shaw is here, he will help you become comfortable in leading class. When scheduling the lab with Vincent, ensure that you have staff or a volunteer in-class to observe, participate, lead and perhaps create new class offerings.

If you have any other questions regarding the use of the Lab, access to files and more, you may e-mail pmartin@acpl.info Such as "Can I schedule the lab for use?" A library worker needs to go with a lab.

Scheduling an event.

In scheduling for the events, there are 3 things that must be done:

  1. Equipment (as shown available in the google calendar above)
  2. Location's meeting room available:
    • iGoogle for that branch.  For instance:
    • For program directors, here’s an example of Shawnee’s Large Meeting room. and our Small Meeting room which, like the calendar above, helps us find unreserved slots to schedule the rooms for the lab program.
    • Just in case, call and reserve.  Kinda hard to run a class in a hallway.
  3. For Public Relations we use e*vents
    • By the branch hosting the event. For example, Pontiac or Shawnee
    • Use e*vents to reserve a seat at the class. This is important since we have only 9 laptops, including the one the class leader will most likely be using.
