Worried that students have too many devices to keep track of?
iPod/Cell Phone/PDA Centralized Charging Station
From www.welovemacs.com:
I’ve got so many rechargeable gadgets, I can’t keep all the rechargers straight. So now I organize them in Recharging HQ PowerStation. Open the lid, and an internal power strip lets you plug in up to 3 recharging transformers, without consuming 3 wall sockets. You need only plug HQ PowerStation into the wall to get power. Circuit protection guards against voltage/surge overload. Deep well inside has plenty of room for tall transformers, and for excess lengths of cord. Just feed the recharging cords out the slots, and plug into your devices. Adjustable dividers on top lid firmly hold personal electronics in place...So you’ll feel organized, not out of control!
Might be something to suggest at an IEP meeting for students who use these tech items, but are chronic misplacers. Placement of an organizer like this (some versions are mahogany, others have nifty drawers and shelves) next to the front door, with a hook attached for house and/or car keys would support students in walking in the front door at home, setting the tech items to charge, hanging the keys, and knowing that they'll be there when they're needed during HW time or early the next morning!

What a great idea. We have stuff plugged in all over the house. It is not just the outlet. You also need surface space you need a counter or desk by the outlet. Can this unit be mounted to the wall?
