1. You have to make sure that the laptops get charged up at the end of the day. They don't stay charged all day so you may want to charge them up during your lunch time. 2. Students really need to be taught how to handle the laptops - they have to be very gentle with them because the keys come off much more easily than on a desktop. 3. Although I worked at an at-risk school and a school in a privileged neighborhood, students were not the ones that stole the laptops. They were actually stolen when students had the day off and only the faculty was at work. So when you are thinking about securing the laptops keep this in mind too. 4. Don't stack more than 3 laptops on top of one another because you can crack the screen. 5. If students are using the laptops without a mouse, tell them they only need to use one finger and make sure the touch pad is clean. Students will say that their laptop is broken because they are using 3-4 fingers, or two hands!! Good luck!!
