Distribution and Collection Tips: 1.Cart Monitors go to the carts. All wires should already be in the right slots. Note: For distribution make sure laptops are charged! 2.Students signal they are ready to have their laptop distributed/picked up by iSquader (eg. reading quietly) 3.Laptop monitors collect/distribute laptops while Cart Monitors plug them in carefully. 4.All students continue to work quietly until all laptops are accounted for. 5.Collection: After monitors sign off, count the laptops yourself and lock each cart. Lock carts together at the end of the day. Note: You are accountable for your keys, so do not let students use your keys without your direct supervision.
