The Most Popular Docks in Class
Docking stations are where classrooms connect. Sometimes those connections can be accomplished with a simple one-size-fits-all solution. Other times every desk needs a different connection. For instance, when setting up a presentation lectern a small dock that connects to a smart board, easily tucks out of the way, and offers a few ports for peripherals is all you need.
