For some students, this is the first time they have ever had to keep watch and maintain a device for their learning or personal use. It can be hard for them to juggle their school work, making sure they remember their device, as well as keeping track of their household responsibilities and what happens outside of school walls.
Because this can be hard for many students, no matter the age, devices either come to school not fully charged, or not at all. In fact, we found out that 30% of students arrive at school with their device not fully charged.
This can be hard to manage when there are no other solutions on hand to assist these students in their learning needs throughout the day. A teacher may spend up to 75% of class time needing their students to be on a laptop.
Requiring a student to use a semi-charged device for 75% of their day will not work. Consider investing in a solution that supports the student’s needs and allows for them to have a device throughout the day with no hassle.
This can be accomplished in a multitude of ways, but a situation like this really requires a solution to manage and store loaner devices. This solution should be easily accessible to teachers while they check-in students in the morning and should be lockable for night to store devices for the next day.
Bretford’s CUBE Micro Station® 10 & 16 Pre-Wired offers the versatility to wall mount the devices or to daisy-chain solutions to add more devices as you grow or see fit. This is a great way to ensure each student has a working device during school hours.
