Standardized testing season is a critical time for K-12 schools. Ensuring student devices are charged and ready can make all the difference in creating a smooth and successful testing experience.
Key Challenges in Keeping Devices Ready for Testing
One of the most common issues that schools face during testing is low battery issues. Students relying on Chromebooks, laptops, and tablets for digital assessments need consistent access to fully charged devices. Interruptions caused by power loss can lead to unnecessary stress, delays, and decreased testing performance.
How to Get Your Schools Prepared for Standardized Testing:
- Perform a Pre-Test Device Audit
Before testing begins, thoroughly audit all student devices to check battery health, software updates, and connectivity. Ensure that all necessary apps and browsers are functioning correctly.
- Implement Efficient Charging Solutions
Implementing charging solutions, such as the Adapt12 USB-C Charging Stations with Active Charge, ensures that devices are organized, fully powered, and easily accessible for students on testing days. These solutions streamline classroom management and reduce downtime.
- Provide Portable Power for On-Demand Charging
Active Charge Power Banks offer an excellent solution for keeping student devices powered throughout testing without disrupting the exam environment. Schools can eliminate the need for mid-test device swaps by providing portable charging options and keeping students focused on their exams. - Train Staff and Prepare Backup Plans
Equip teachers and proctors with troubleshooting guides and backup power solutions in case of unexpected device failures. Having a clear protocol in place reduces panic and ensures testing can continue smoothly.
Why Active Charge Solutions Are Essential for Testing Success:
