Our school has made a strong effort to provide resources for our students so they can integrate technology into their learning using the modern tools needed to be competitive in their lives. We have two computer labs, but they are often reserved for required testing. In buildings, students in two to four classrooms share mobile Chromebook carts so they have exposure to programs and tools on a weekly schedule. As a rural school, we also have over 30 portable classrooms on our campus. Since very few have ramps, classes in the portables have not had equitable access to technology.
The Tech Tub charging station will allow teachers to sign out only as many Chromebooks in a portable charging station as their class needs for creative projects and learning. Each tub will hold 6-10 Chromebooks, so several smaller classes could share the devices currently assigned to one large mobile cart.
Hopefully this thoughtful organization of devices will be so successful, we can eventually exchange our heavy, unmanageable mobile carts for Tech Tubs that allow us to better share our technology.
