Common Sense Cautions when Naming Your Lab
Watch your language...
The word "Cyber" is ominous sounding to some folks. The same goes for "Web." To some the word "web" has negative connotations, as in "caught in a web." I'm wondering about the word "Cable" seen in one of the names above. My cables are a mess behind my computer. "Bible Bytes" means "isn't good" in slang. "Techno" will sound cold to some people.
False Advertising?
Something in my gut doesn't like web/internet names for computer labs that don't have internet access.
Obscurity...
I got a kick out of the use of HARDWARE components in a few of the names. "Mouse works". "Disc Drive Inn" works just because it is funny, --but you almost have to now decorate the room with CDs or mice.
Cuteness
Avoid something "your mom" would think was cute. Some names just won't sound right after a while, especially to older kids and teens. Know your audience.
The Importance of Decor
Good decor is better than a great name. The best name in the world can't overcome a dumpy room. Many computer lab names reflect the Rotation Sunday School's overall theme, thus, the use of "Tent" and "Oasis", for example.
A great teaching concept is even better.
