[ISLMA-Share] One to One Chromebooks

Tue Dec 19 14:45:29 CST 2017

My son's high school is 1-1 Chromebooks and the teachers all have extra
chargers in their rooms.  The parent side of this that we sometimes
overlook as educators is these kids are on their Chromebooks studying or
doing homework (and I won't lie - games too LOL) until very late at night.
Sometimes, from pure exhaustion, he doesn't get up to charge his Chromebook
when he goes to bed.  That being said - there ARE consequences for kids who
don't charge their devices.  But, having the extra chargers in the room
have saved both me and my son some MAJOR morning anxiety when he sees he is
low on battery.  He's also on his third year for his Chromebook and it
doesn't make it through the day anymore on a full charge, so there is that
to consider as well when you make your policies.

Just my 2¢ as a parent!
