Tech Accessories

We LOVE a school-based 3D printer, especially when a great friend pops into the library throughout the day and cranks out 30 page ups and 60 cord wraps. Well, it took him a few days overall, but these items were worth the wait. I found templates on Thingiverse.com for a paper holder called a page up and skinny cord organizers called cord wraps. The plastic used for these items cost less than $0.50 a student. (A store-bought page up can be around $7 and cord wraps are $2+ each.) Plus, these tech tools can be reused every year. They are quite durable. I haven’t had any breaks so far. The wraps really help eliminate dangling cords on desktops (taking up space) or over the edges of desks (which can be a hazard as students walk by). Students store their headphones and mice in a our “Tech Bay,” which is a traditional mailbox cubby system labeled with their classroom student numbers (1-30). More organization for the kids to keep our class running smoothly!
