Abstract:
Roundtable discussion of issues surrounding the lifespan and needs of a student computer. As one-to-one laptop programs, and student computer requirements are becoming more of the norm, what are we seeing as the lifespan of a new computer. How well does a computer purchased for an incoming student survive a typical 4 year college education, and are we left with a usable machine at the end of this time, or outdated equipment.
Bill Pelfrey has worked with the Help Desk and Training Programs at Berea College since their inception in 1996, and now also manages the EDGE laptop program as well as the Office based Consultant program for the college. Bill also is pastor of New Life Church in Waynesburg, KY where he lives with his wife Rose and their three children.
Judy Gergen came to Berea College with years of customer service and sales experience, she now serves as the Technical Services Coordinator for the college.
