Computer labs are important areas where students are able to utilize the equipment to practice skills. These labs can either be high density or low density.
A high density lab is an area designated with many computers to reach many individuals. A low density lab on the other hand, is a smaller area usually a classroom fitted out with a few computers to be used by students of the class.
Pros:
1. Wide use of Internet.
2. Encourages collaboration and interaction.
3. Facilitates differentiated learning.
Cons:
1. Does not utilize other ICTs.
2. Some teachers are unable to integrate computers in the teaching/learning environment.
How labs are used depend on the objectives of the teacher, the skills he/she possesses and the planning put in to make the experience effective.
