Patrice Hancey, Boarding House Parent at Peace Lutheran College, explains how the FUYL Smart Locker helps control anti-social behavior by keeping student technology locked down during specified times, as well as a secure place to store and charge their technology and other valuables.
Patrice explains that the main concerns of having technology in the boarding environment is it can be very anti social and you can have issues with online bullying if they have too much access to social media.
The FUYL Smart Locker has helped the school get past these pain points and more by providing boarding students with a secure place to store and charge their devices as well as Admins to keep an eye on how many times students are using their devices.
“Having the FUYL Smart Locker is making it so much easier to monitor [the tech].” — Patrice Hancey, Boarding House Parent
The curfew feature has enabled the school to restrict student access to devices during curfew times.
Impact and outcomes
-
Reduced unsanctioned device usage: Late-night access has been effectively halted with the FUYL Smart Locker.
-
Improved behavioral environment: With device use regulated, students are more engaged and less distracted.
-
Streamlined administration: Staff spend less time policing tech use — FUYL’s automation handles it.
“I particularly like FUYL Smart Lockers at Christmas time because you have all the green lights on and it look like you have a tech Christmas tree.”
