equipment set up.
This year, in middle school, we had 10 digital video cameras, 30 digital
cameras, 40 laptops, cables, batteries and blank media (dvds, and cds)
that were all borrowed by students from a central location (media
center). The Ed Tech was often out in classrooms, so the students and
teachers would just sign out the equipment on a clipboard.
However, things would come back broken or not at all. Things that did
make it back in one piece often were just "thrown" in the middle of the
room rather than put back properly.
I want to have a checkout system that allows students and teachers to
get what they need when they need it, but also I need better
accountability. =20
Do any of you have a system where students and teachers check out
equipment without an adult present? How do you have it set up? What
type of accountability system do you have in place to get equipment back
as well as repaired / replaced if broken or lost?
Thank you,
