My students have not had one day when they are not ALL prepared with a fully charged computer, and their organizational skills have improved immensely, as well. The students have gotten into wonderful habits and routines, knowing exactly when to pick up and dock and store their computers. This had led to so much less chaos in the classroom and has opened up more blocks of time for learning. \r\nAnother positive change has been seeing all of the students start off their days on the same page... no one is coming into class nervous and upset about a situation at home that has caused them coming to school unprepared with a computer not fully charged. Having the computers stay in the classroom and charge has eliminated the stress of students having to deal with conflicts at home with siblings and parents over the computers. They have all been taking such great care of their computers and are so very grateful to have a safe place to store and charge them.
