[Maced] charging laptops

[jenny Ashby]

Hi everyone,

How are you handling the heat?  I am over it and I'm hoping Autumn  
returns.

As we now have 6 laptops in each class room Gr3 -6 I am looking at  
ideas for charging them at the end of the day and the type of  
containers people use.  We can't afford the 1500 dollar trolley types  
and was wondering if using plastic tubs that allow the laptops to  
stand up on their side with the end to attach the charger protuding  
is a good idea.  Does it harm the laptops having them standing on  
their side and not sitting flat?  Another idea I had was one of those  
plastic file stackers with one level for each laptop.  How would that  
go?  I know the laptops can get quite hot when they are charging so  
how do people work around the heat issue?  Do you need to have air  
circulating around each laptop so they are not touching each other?

Many thanks from Jenny

PS.. If anyone could take a snap of their charging I would ove to see  
some different ideas.
