Distributing Computers to Students
Use a zangle checklist roster to assign computers. Note the date and cow. Have the students indicate the number used that day:

Charging the COW Throughout the Day
The COWs are setup so that both rows charge at the same time. However, the timer light will say only the bottom is charging (right light). However, as the masking tape indicates, all shelves are actually charging.
