Laptops can be taken to and from class, allowing pupils to take notes, keep track of lessons and do research on a topic that the teacher is presenting. This portability also enables teachers to multi-room, making greater use of school space.
The price of laptops is also coming down. For the traditional price of a computer suite, whole year groups can now have their own laptops to handle internet, word processor files and email. Netbooks are cheaper still and growing in popularity.
But while laptops and netbooks are bringing educational benefits, they are also presenting schools with new challenges. They need to be stored carefully and securely and easily transferred from classroom to classroom.
In order to meet these challenges, ICT furniture has also evolved. The laptop or netbook trolley has rapidly become a classroom staple, allowing staff and pupils to safely store, transfer and charge their laptops overnight.
LapCabby is one such example, providing the cost-effective solution to the safe and efficient management of laptops in the classroom, housing between ten and 32 computers.
ICT equipment in schools looks widely different from how it did only a mere five years ago and school furniture is hot on its heels. Schools need to invest in both if they are to enhance their pupils’ learning experience, get value for money and make greater use of classroom space.
