Technology is wonderful. The use of chromebooks at our school has been implemented in several classrooms although the media center uses older Dell mini laptops during classes. We love our technology.
Now that all that is said, I have learned a very important fact regarding the CHARGING of approximately 100 chromebooks for a teacher training session: be careful where you plug in all the carts! Last week I made sure all the large and small carts were plugged in so they would be fully charged for a Monday training. I double checked the "orange lights" showing they were charging and then...well, I never thought about checking them on Friday. It seems that too much of a good thing (like Chromebooks) can cause all the outlets on one media center wall to blow a circuit so none of the devices actually got charged.
Ooops.
Thankfully they only take about an hour to charge so the teacher training went off without too many hitches once the carts were spread among the remaining wall circuits in the media center. We DO love our technology!
