In today’s digital learning environment, ensuring students have access to devices is crucial for effective education. Nicolas Tessier, head of the education department of the Southern Province, has been spearheading the Digital Schoolbag Project, aimed at equipping students with hybrid computers from the 5th grade onward. A key element of the project’s success has been the integration of LocknCharge Carrier Carts.
Simplifying 1:1 device deployment
When implementing a 1:1 device program, logistics can be a major hurdle. The first key step is securing a reliable storage and charging solution. Nicolas Tessier selected LocknCharge Carrier Carts, and the impact was immediate. Thanks to the innovative basket system, deploying devices quickly and efficiently became seamless. Instead of students queuing to retrieve devices, nominated students bring the baskets into the classroom each day, reducing transition times and improving lesson efficiency.
Overcoming deployment challenges
Deploying technology in a learning environment comes with a unique set of challenges. From ensuring devices are charged and ready to use to maintaining organisation, Nicolas Tessier and his team faced numerous obstacles. LocknCharge Carrier Carts, with their robust technical features and thoughtfully designed baskets, helped eliminate these pain points, streamlining the daily deployment process and enhancing the overall learning experience.
Powering through unreliable electricity
LocknCharge carts offer a strong advantage in a region where there are relatively frequent power cuts. Equipped with ECOSafe Charge™ system, carts keep the program saved when unplugged. This capability proved to be a game-changer, saving teachers and students from delays and disrupted lesson plans caused by unexpected power outages whilst ensuring devices are charged only the necessary time.
Built for durability and security
In addition to usability and functionality, durability was a major factor in selecting LocknCharge carts. Over the past year, the country has faced unrest, putting school infrastructure at risk. The Carrier Cart’s strong steel construction provided added protection, keeping both the cart and devices safe during uncertain times. The high-quality build has ensured long-term reliability, with no reported issues to date.
Rapid adoption and seamless integration
The true testament to the success of the LocknCharge Carrier Cart is its swift adoption. Teachers, students and administrators quickly embraced its benefits, recognizing how it streamlined workflows and maximized learning time. What once seemed like a complex transition to 1:1 learning has now become a smooth and efficient reality.
“The project has been a success, schools asking when they will also be equipped next. LocknCharge cart is not only perfectly adapted, but quickly adopted by all,” said Mr Tessier.
A trusted partner in digital learning
For Nicolas Tessier and his team, LocknCharge Carrier Carts have proven to be more than just storage solutions — they are essential tools for success. With innovative features, robust security and practical design, they enable schools to overcome challenges and create a seamless digital learning environment. His story is just one of many that highlight the power of LocknCharge in making life simpler.
