Organizing Your Wire Chaos

Are you suffering from wire choas? For some of us, the more geeky we become the more our life is taken over by masses of crazy cables for each gadget we own.  In a 21st century classroom, this can be especially true due to buildings not equipped for all this fabulous technology integration.  You can only imagine the crazy chaos of cables being magnified with the addition of extension cords, surge protectors, and more extension cords.

As teachers, we search for the most cost effective solution for our everyday issues, so why should wire choas be any different.  Here are a couple of free ways to organize your technology cables with ease:

1)  Bread Ties Labeling 

2)  Binder Clips organize the cables to stay off the floor

3)  Paper Towel rolls, swimming noodles, or zip ties organize the cables in neat sections.

4)  Create your own charging station from a shoebox wrapped in your favorite scrapbook paper.

Even though it is great to find free ways to organize your cables, there are two that are worth mentioning that are relatively inexpensive.

1)  USB Wall Socket

2)  Hidden Surge Protector





Of course this is just a quick view into the multiple ways you can organize your wire chaos.  What are your favorite ways to organize your geeky gadgets?
