iPad Carts
Managing school-owned iPads can be a challenge. Charging and syncing beomce long, arduous takes when dealing with multiple devices. Several companies have released solutions for easy storage and management of class sets of iPads. I have been using the Bretford Powersync cart and love its durability, security, and syncing and charging capabilities. I have listed below some of the currently available solutions (Or you could build your own solution…).
