Managing laptops, Chromebooks and iPads can be a logistical nightmare, resulting in lost chargers, and tangled cords. In today's tech-driven classrooms, keeping devices charged and organised is essential for uninterrupted learning.
Why does your classroom need Charging Stations or Carriers?
In today’s digital age, according to an IDC survey, 91% of schools in New Zealand use laptops, 78% rely on tablets and 22% use smartphones in the classroom. Therefore, the demand for efficient device management has never been greater.
Educators often grapple with the daily hassle of locating misplaced chargers. With a dedicated charging station or carrier, they can easily manage and prevent cords from tangling, and ensure devices are sufficiently charged for daily usage.
PC Locs Charging Stations
PC Locs, a leading provider of classroom technology solutions, offers a wide range of charging trolleys, boasting efficient multi-device charging capabilities, eliminating the need for individual chargers, and minimising cable clutter. Whether you need a charging trolley for a small group of tablets or a large class where you need to equip laptops, there’s a PC Loc solution for any classroom.
iPad, tablet and Chromebook Charging Stations
PC Locs offers a variety of iPad and tablet charging stations designed for schools deploying multiple devices, like iPads, tablets, and Chromebook devices.
The PC Locs Carrier is a popular entry-level charging station and is designed with a sturdy welded steel frame and padlock to safeguard classroom devices. With the inclusion of two Large Baskets by PC Locs, teachers and students can effortlessly distribute devices within the classroom, promoting efficient device management. Additionally, these carriers are wall and desk-mountable, offering versatility in placement and customisation to suit the teacher’s or classroom’s needs.
