Chromebook Storage

 What is the best and cheapest way to store Chromebooks in classes?

There are lots of bespoke and often expensive options to store Chromebooks. Here, I am focussing on DIY. I have gathered some ideas I have seen that work well in classes.

Consider whether the Chromebooks need to be charged and stored securely, i.e. more than just locked in the classroom. Storage systems for charging need to allow for good air circulation and management of all those cables. 

Also, think about the learners in your space getting Chromebooks out and putting them away. Perhaps monitors might work or break up the storage into more than one place. You could even have ways to store during the day that can then be put away at the end of the day.

One option is to use a cheap storage cabinet purchased as a flatpack and adapted. Here are some examples.
