ACTIVote storage solutions!

[Sarah Carpenter]

Hi
We have just got ACTIVote in our classrooms and are considering how to store them - I would like the children to have ownership of their ACTIVote and would like them to be readily available to the children all the time - I have heard of other teachers storing them in the hanging shoe racks or each child keeping theirs in their tray but I am keen to hear from other teachers too. Our school is an Infant school so children ranging from 4 - 7 yrs old.

Thanks

I've seen teachers put them in little "easter baskets" about 5-8 per basket. Works well if students sit in small groups! One basket per "cluster."

Thanks for reply - had considered baskets on their tables - a bit like how they have their boxes for their water bottles on the tables.

Sarah, I have my students arranged into 4 groups of 6 students. I bought clear plastic boxes (containers with snap closures on the side of the top and a handle) at Wal Mart .... six activotes fit perfectly in one. When it's time, one student puts the boxes in the center of the group and everyone gets their own and returns it after practice or testing. Works well for my class...Hope this helps....

Like the idea of a box with a lid then at least they can be stacked on top of each other when not in use.
