Plugging Back Into the New Year

Help me give my students the electronic tools necessary for success in today's classroom.

My Project

My students have just returned to school after a their winter's break. I'm in today setting up and have discovered that my inventory of electronics is low and in need of a refresh.

The question I get most often is do I have a Chromebook charger for a student to use.

Students can't complete the work if their computers are dead; and it's never just one students. Having several chargers is important. I shall use the extension cords so that students can stay in their seats while working (instead of moving to a seat near an outlet.)

The other items are iPhone chargers (so that students leave school on full phone charge) and the string lights which make the classroom fun (while also diffusing a calm light).
