This page tells you how to use a limited number of laptops in the classroom, how to care for and protect laptops, and how to facilitate student communication on computers. Limited Numbers of Laptops When laptops are limited, teachers can arrange for group use, rotational use, and free time access of the computers.
Students can also check out laptops overnight or during vacations.
Care of Laptops Laptops are portable, which means they can be taken everywhere even into the mud and the rain. Special care must be taken of these computers, as for all scientific and electronic equipment. Keep all equipment dry and clean. If you are using a laptop where it is wet or muddy, put the keyboard in a clear plastic bag. On field trips, use a dry box and a wet box to separate supplies and equipment.
