[ISLMA-Share] 1:1 High Schools and Library Use

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Hello! We are going 1:1 next year and I'm trying to envision how that will
look for the high school. library or Learning Commons as we call it. We are
a large high school of about 1800 students.
Right now, we house most of the Chromebooks. Students receive a pass to
come in through study hall or their 5th hour advisory classroom. This does
cause alot of traffic for us. We also allow ten seniors an hour to have an
all semester "pass." These students come in daily and can work or not work
on whatever as long as they are quiet.

Next year, we will go 1:1. Unless students are checking out a book, they
will be able to do any Chromebook homework in study hall or their
advisories. I am afraid that this place will look like 1) a ghost town 2) a
place where kids congregate to socialize. I want the LC to be like a
college library...quiet yet relaxing, a place where you can work and if you
are finished a place to relax and read.

What are your policies as a 1:1 school?
