This reminds me of the many videos I've seen of kids juggling their cellphones or tablets and accidentally dropping them off a bridge or a building. Evidence of the type of things that can happen with unsupervised, incomplete forebrains. The juvenile version of "Hold my beer"?
This is pretty scary and shocking. A Lithium battery fire in a school would be a bad thing and I wonder if school teachers and staff are trained to handle it properly. I also wonder how bad one of these fires could get. I guess they would call the fire department and they would have the training to respond. Mike, would you could consider make a training video for schools to use, or at least offer to advice to a local school in your area who could make and circulate such a video? A great use for Social Media!
Great idea. One of my kids teaches at the local Tech High School, so I have school distribution connections.
I’ll also try to get some technical info on how these shorts occur internally from my contacts at Apple and Microsoft. But I don’t have any connections at Google about Chromebook hardware.
I’d be happy to socialize this idea with my local school system where I do a lot of volunteer work on science mentoring. I’ll share your article and find out how much interest there would be in an informative video vs circulating a news story. Both have value but providing background information and guidance seems much more useful. Thanks for running with this one Mike!
