Charging the way
There’s been much debate about whether children should be allowed to take and use mobile phones in school. But what is less debated but equally as important, is whether children should be able to charge their personal devices at school.
With the adoption of Bring Your Own Devices (BYOD), the increased application of technology means more screen time for teachers and students which in turn further increases the demand for power. With the pressure to be ‘on’ and ‘connected’ it won’t be long before schools will adopt innovative and energy efficient charging options.
Here are the best ways to make sure schools and homes are charger friendly, including the placement of products and the best technology to consider.

Avoid the clutter
Your ever-growing supply of technology devices doesn’t have to add to the clutter and (sometimes) messiness of your desks and bench tops! Devices can often get lost under the papers and files that are left lying around, or worse, they can be caught in the cross fire if a drink is accidentally tipped over.
There are a number of charging devices you can implement which ensure your space remains as clutter free as possible – why not try a charger that doubles as a smart shelf?
Streamline the process
Ever feel like you’re managing a heap of different products, all of which could be combined into the one to make life a whole lot easier? Just like your smartphone acts as much more than a calling device, charging stations are able to provide a lot more than the standard power point with the three-pronged plug and switch. With chargers that are able to power multiple devices simultaneously, quickly and neatly, the days of searching for the correct charger among a tangle of wires can be forgotten. This also provides a much safer way of managing your home, as tangled cords and wires can present dangerous hazards.
Choose environment-friendly products
Choosing an eco-friendly charging station doesn’t mean you will be left with a less functional or visually appealing product. Products which use smart technology to deliver an optimum amount of charge, with a minimum amount of current, are what you should be looking for. PDL by Schneider Electric’s USB Charger has a 5 star energy rating for energy efficiency as well as a sleek, innovative style. The product also has an extremely low standby when not in use, and has very efficient charging times. Using products like these, with high energy ratings, means you are doing the right thing by the environment, yet are also housing minimalist, state-of-the-art designs.
