[aisle] Tracking Loaner Chromebooks/Chargers

[Renee Kozeal]

We started using a web-based program called One2One but it was a bit
cumbersome. We could, however, lock the chromebooks so that students
couldn't just hang on to the daily loaners for several days till the
battery died. Then we got Go Guardian and are now using the Fleet portion
of that program to track our loaners. It's very easy to do quick checkouts
and checkins, but it doesn't really show past use by a student. And, we
can't disable machines from that program.
