The IT department has been working on this mobile lab to use in our classrooms. Last night they asked me to try using the lab on WIFI....This was not a good idea. Students were creating rooms in Roommaker (elouai.com/room-makers.php)and just as they were creating, the WIFI would go out. A few minutes later it would come back. It was not acceptable, so we put the laptops away. When IT came to roll the cart back, students were able to say (The WIFI was not very good. We were not happy about that.) So they got a lot of good language practice even though the WIFI did not suffice. My take away is that WIFI is not good for 30+ students to use at the same time. It needs to be hard wired for that.
