Chromebook Storage

First Thing I had to do was come up with a place to store my Chromebooks.  The school was supplying file racks but because of my “OCD” that was not going to work.  Cords everywhere.  AHH!!  

So a colleague of mine created these. 

I labeled each shelf with a number and also labeled the Chromebook with the same number.  The only thing I regret is not putting the number on the side where it is plugged in. I put them in the front in the middle of the Chromebook.   I will change that when the tags start coming off. 

I have attached the cords with zip ties making sure each shelf had a cord for charging. 

I do not have my students plug in their Chromebooks.  Little ones tend to push plugs in crooked and try to push the cords in to make them fit and sometimes hard.   Also I want to make sure they are not plugged in every day to help the battery last.  

I used these until the end of the year.  At the beginning of this year, the entire school went 1 to 1 so our old laptop carts went up for grabs.  This is what it looks like.  

Other teachers have used student mailboxes and storage carts to store their Chromebooks.  

I love my laptop cart.  It takes up a lot of space but I have storage on the top that has been super helpful.  Maybe this will be helpful if you have to come up with your own storage.
