A Classroom With Only One Computer

We have our club activities in a public hall twice in a month. Our computer is only one but we like to use it.
Seiya 11 years old from Japan

If you have only one computer in your classroom, you'll need some clever organizing and planning, but it can be done. This is so even if your computer is not online in your classroom.

Here are some tips to help you manage the four questions with only one computer in your classroom:
  1. Read all about the four questions, and summarize it for the students. Make a display in your classroom for the response project. Post the blank web form, and sample responses. Have your students prepare their responses on paper. Let them use the same format as on the blank web form. If there's not enough space for their answers in the blank fields, let them continue on the back of the paper. Have a student type your students' answers (or you type them, if you prefer), and save them in a word-processing file. In some schools, they have assigned students to do this after hours.
  2. When it is time to submit the responses, use copy/paste into the web form for each individual student. This activity may also be "delegated" to some trustworthy students after hours.

If you are not online in your classroom, save the responses to a diskette or memory pen drive. Take the information saved to the computer in your school that is online, or to your computer that is online at home.
