[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP- In defense of the teacher you mentioned, most classrooms might have a few outlets in total. Mine has 3 outlets. So the individual chargers are pretty much useless when all 30 iPads are dead or nearly dead. Nearly every night, the "cleaning" crew upplugs the cart despite leaving messages for them in Spanish not to do that. If I am here late, I will tell them in Spanish not to unplug the cart ever. A week later, they unplug it again. As for the data input systems, they are crap. Data Link is a joke and has had me and plenty of other teachers in my district in tears. Even the head of technology did a presentation on it and couldn't get it to work right in front of us. This is par for the course.[/quote]

Plug a power strip into the bottom wall outlet.  Plug your cart into the power strip.  The cleaning crew will plug their vacuums into the empty top outlet because it’s easily accessible.  Everyone will be happy.   :thumbup: [/quote]

Our wall outlets have one plug. The classrooms in our mod have 2 but most of them don't work so they are lucky if they have 2 working outlets in their rooms. You are thinking from your UMC mindset. I bet you work in a clean office building where you don't have to buy your own paper towels and copy paper. Your common sense doesn't work here in my city school. [/quote]

:roll:  I've taught for over 20 years in Title I schools in DC and VA, and some of those years were spent teaching in trailers.  I have had this exact same issue in more than one school.  Each time that I put out a power strip, then the custodians stopped unplugging my other electronics because they had an outlet to use.  If you only have one outlet, then get a power strip that has enough spaces to plug in your stuff with one spot left open for the custodians.  You aren't the only person who has ever had to deal with this.  [/quote]
