Do you have or know where to get spare Chromebook chargers?
I have 16 Chromebooks in my class with 11 chargers. (24-32 students per class)
Is there be a spare pile of chargers out there somewhere?
In need of the flat end chargers (as pictured) AND the round ones.
Alberta teachers are standing up for proper resources + smaller class sizes - both will lead to stranger schools + a brighter future. #OurKidsCantWaitAB #StopTheExcuses #NSTUforABteachers
