A completely new use. Being able to control and record which student has which device or equipment (laptops/science apparatus/knives/). Benefits include safety, efficiency, familiarity, ownership and hopefully will help maintain the condition and reduce cost of repairs

1) Each class is given a code (scan code to bring up class register)
2) Each student in a class is assigned a number (the number is associated to a code)

• then, to sign out equipment....

3) scan students code (it brings up equipment number required )
4) scan code on equipment - equipment is now ASSIGNED
- to sing equipment IN...
5) scan the code on the equipment.

One of the main benefits is that the student gets the same equipment each time. Particulalry with laptops etc so log on time is kept to a minimum. Also, having the same equipmemnt each time builds familliarity and hopefully generates care of use through ownership.

That's it. I am sure there are teachers and technicians all over the place who would like to have a quick way of controlling equipment.

Thanks for reading.
