Back To School - Branded USB Memory Sticks

With the long hot summer drawing to an end, schools are preparing for the start of a new academic year. With this, comes a growing trend for schools to offer branded USB memory sticks to pupils and staff alike.

 

So what benefits can Branded USB Memory sticks offer a school environment?

 

The primary benefit is that it allows pupils and staff to store and transport information at school and between home and school.

 

However there are many additional benefits:

• Pupils can back up coursework that they complete at home or at school as a safety net.
• Reducing the cost of printing and transporting paper, so it’s environmentally friendly.
• The USB Memory sticks can be branded with the school logo to add greater affinity with the school.
• Passwords can be added to the Customised Memory sticks so if the data is sensitive it can be made secure.
• Data can be loaded and protected on the Branded USB Memory sticks. So the school could consider providing all the standard school docs, e.g. school term dates, policies, link to web sites etc.
• A unique serial number can be printed to the side of the Branded USB Memory stick to allow any lost memory sticks to be easily reunited with their owner.
• A strip can also be added to the Branded USB Memory stick so users can add their names.

The tangible benefits are clear, but more importantly children are exposed to technology every day and are attuned to using it.

 

Whilst there is no substitute to good teaching the appropriate use of technology can add real value – Branded USBs play an important part with this.
