Comparing Mobile Charging Carts
These days it is rare to enter a school where the students aren’t using some kind of mobile device. Laptops, tablets and e-readers have become an almost standard part of the school technology world.
And we all understand that these mobile devices offer spectacular learning opportunities as they increase technology literacy for our students. But they also pose challenges to schools. Unlike desktops and other IT assets, mobile devices must be properly charged, securely stored, and safely transported. Mobile charging carts are the solution to these needs.
In this blog post we’ll examine, in-depth, the many options you have in selecting mobile charging carts to maintain, secure, store and transport your school’s mobile IT assets.
