USER Ergonomics

Positioning:
Monitor:
The monitor should always be placed in a place that allows for the user to have optimal view of the monitor. There should also be enough room for the keyboard and mouse to be able to move around with out obstacles in it's path. Your head should also be level to the monitor so you don't need to be continuously pointing your head up and down to view your monitor.It should also be close enough where you don't need to squint your eyes to view it or

Keyboard and Mouse:
The keyboard and mouse should be placed some where reachable for your arms when to have a comfortable place to sit when your typing.  When you reach for your keyboard you shouldn't have to bend your fore arms up more than 3 inches as it may cause stress on your arms. It's best to have the keyboard and mouse sitting in-front of the monitor so that you can have your head facing directly towards the monitor as you type.

Chair:
Your chair should be a mobile office type chair which can allow you to turn and move to face whatever place direction you need to. You should have your feet placed flat on the ground and your back vertical.

Ergonomic Keyboard:
Here are some Keyboards that you can use that are...
Under $100
Over $100

Our work stations are set up to provide an ergonomic workplace so that the students are comfortable when using the computers for the hour or so that they will be using them for. the setup we have is ergonomic for older elementary and high-school type students because little kids may have a problem reaching the keyboard and won't have a level view of the monitor.
