Simple for Teachers IT Equipment booking system

[ImNotaRobot]

Any one know a good one ?

as I'm looking to stop arguments between teachers not booking out equipment

What are you booking out? Would Microsoft Bookings do the job? You'd need an Office 365 E3 license.

If you want something easy and free

 

classroombookings | The open-source room booking system for schools.

Oh its just Chromebook / Laptop trollies

Shared calendar in either Microsoft or Google flavour has the facility to reserve resources (rooms, equipment etc). Easy to set up, easy to use.

I didn't get anywhere until head teacher told teachers to act like grown ups, tell me what system they wanted and then use it without moaning to me! IIRC they went for a book hanging of the side of the trolley, despite the fact that nearly half of them only worked part time, so weren't in school every day but could have had remote access to the booking system.

Yeah, just use your normal meeting booking system, and "invite" resources into the "meeting"

 

I want a meeting with John Smith, classroom 47 and ipad 12 at 1200 to 1400

We have a member of staff in charge of the laptop trollys and bookings go through her and put onto a Google Sheet that staff can view.

You make an asset "bookable" then they go through, fill a shopping cart and then it goes to you for approval

Shared Calendar , I would also recommend classroombookings as its worked well for me in the past

Google resources/room booking calendar works really well for us.
