It’s Finally Happened
Well, it’s finally happened. Due to budget cuts, my school has decided to save a significant amount of money by reducing its power consumption – first on the list are all of the computers in the computer labs and the entire server room. Starting today, the servers will be online only between 8 and 9 (in order to take attendance, check emails, etc), and then again for an hour after lunch.
The computer labs (my class included) will be scheduled on/off on a rolling schedule similar to the way the power company does rolling blackouts. I have been told that I will have approximately 15 minutes out of every 50 minute period, and that I need to plan lessons that don’t use the computers (thereby don’t use electricity).
I’m really frustrated now because all of my lesson plans are out the window. Sigh.
