Hey Wyvern67, no luck yet. We’ve looked at a few grants, but they’re mostly for professional development of teachers to use resources with specific clauses stating that the purchase of equipment is not allowed. Good luck finding grant funding.

Have you had any luck with this? I am currently looking for grants to get a laptop cart for my classroom and was hoping that you have had some success and could give me some pointers. Right now I feel like I am finding a lot of grants that either will not apply to me or are much to little for my needs.

Thanks!!!

I have been in systems where they have the check out system with laptops on a cart. It was nice, but the system needs to be tweaked. If someone didn’t plug in the cart the laptop batteries would be dead. We didn’t have a printer. The other comment on wireless printers sounds great. With technology you always need a tech guy on hand which is more money for salaries. Our system is cutting all unnecessary positions as much as possible. This idea sounds great in theory. I would love to get them and be able to try to utilze them.

I guess that will always be the problem with technology: great when it works, but a pain when it doesn’t. Next year I’m at a school that has wireless, so it will be interesting to see what happens and how well the laptops perform with a bunch of wireless signals bouncing around each other.
