Who In 2009, Trever Rossini took his first aviation class…

8th Grade Math Teacher, Sarah Wright, was worried about how she would manage 1:1 iPads in her classroom–but, with the help of the Putnam 16 Charging Station by LocknCharge, she seamlessly integrated mobile technology into her workflow with ease.

 “The entire system has come together quite nicely and our pilots love it, but there were several obstacles to overcome along the way,” Rossini said. “The first issue I ran into was where to securely store 10 iPads while keeping them charged. After a few hours of searching online, I found a charging tower designed for schools or malls as a secure place to charge devices. We got in touch with the company and they enabled a back-end management system that allows us to set the PIN codes for each locker. It’s a significant investment at $4,000, but the cost of replacing 10 iPads is just as much. It is also nice because we have a few extra lockers to expand into or the instructors can use them to charge their own devices between flights,” Rossini said.
