 Chromebooks have become staple work devices in the classroom that are used daily in some classes. Most students know the pain of having to walk up to the cart of Chromebooks if they are the first or last class to use them that day. One of the most annoying aspects about the Chromebooks is the conditions the students from the last class leave them in. Most of the times when I boot up the Chromebook, I see that there is another student already logged in, which, even though it only takes seconds to log out, can be annoying. But worst of all is the feeling of frustration you get when you try to put a Chromebook back in the cart and it is near impossible due to the sloppy jobs of other students.

 Students will throw their Chromebooks into the cart in a scrambling rush to leave class or just because they do not want to take the time to put it in properly. The task of putting the Chromebook in the cart correctly and plugging in the right charger really only takes a few seconds. Teachers must be more strict with their students and their Chromebook-returning tendencies in order to ensure a cohesive work environment for all students
