What makes it a little more difficult for me is now I have to keep track of computers and how they are functioning. With ten laptops it was hard enough when students told me what was going on. Last year I started out putting a post-it note on a computer that wasn't working, but sometimes I couldn't remember what students told me was wrong or I couldn't remember which computer they told me.
Of course, simple solutions are the best! Number the computers. Seriously. How did I not think of that? It took seeing someone's blog where they had tagged their computers or iPads or some other technology. Sorry, I don't remember who it was or I would give credit. It was a simple fix for the problem I was having. Everything is numbered and labeled in my class. I really didn't think about putting labels with numbers on my computers. Now students can tell me which number computer is having the issue so if I can't take care of it right away I can write down the number and the problem and look at it later.
Of course, if I'm going to label things it has to be pretty. I practically live in my classroom some days and I don't want to be surrounded by things that irritate me or don't look pleasing. I'm in love with these frames from the Workaholic NBCT. They are adorable and I use them for so much right now. Plus they come in lots of color variations. I fit about 12 on a page and my name is above the number.
