[ISLMA-Share] COWs

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I love our carts instead of labs. We have a much more flexible space because we don’t have dedicated space for computers. I have my own cart that no one else can sign up for and cataloged the Chromebooks in Destiny. It takes me (I only have an aide for a couple of periods) a few minutes at  the beginning of the period to checkout to study hall students who need them. A couple of types of Chromebooks that we have had serial number barcodes on the bottom that I used as the barcode in Destiny. Those that don’t were asset tagged by the tech department, so I just used that barcode number as the barcode number in Destiny.  It is a school rule that library Chromebooks don’t leave the library, so students have to stay in the library to use them. If a teacher is bringing their class in, they are responsible for signing up for a cart and making sure students use them and return them.

During the remodel, we lost any permanent lab -- I requested two (one for class and one for drop-ins), and will have to work with laptops in carts for six 25-minute study halls.

My question is does anyone have a way of checking laptops in and out with the least amount of time (for student computer use) and effort (for staff)?

Sad and a bit sick about it all, but knew this group might have some thoughts.

Thanks,
