DeForest Area School District adds four FUYL Towers to support an open learning environment

Administrators at DeForest Area School District in Wisconsin found themselves facing an interesting situation as they adjusted to students bringing their laptops, tablets and smartphones to school as part an informal BYOD initiative. District officials quickly realized that with students using devices all day, they needed a simple and safe way to store and charge the technology when it wasn’t in use.

Thanks to a recent makeover by Oprah Winfrey, homeless youth served by the Los Angeles branch now have access to a state-of-the-art to keep their phones and other devices fully charged and secure so they can complete schoolwork, look for a job, or even just stay in touch with family and friends.

Without a product on the market to fit their needs, Putnam City Schools partnered with LocknCharge to design a custom charging station. The final product, the Putnam 16 Charging Station, features a slim, cabinet-style station made with fully welded steel for superior security. Plus, with the ability to secure the unit to the floor, wall or a desk, teachers did not have to give up valuable real estate in the classroom.

The laptops will allow students without a computer or internet access at home to keep up with their studies and homework, which are becoming predominantly computer-based.
