 +==== How can I power my Surface while in the classroom? ====
 +The Surface Dock at your office desk provides power along with all of the additional port options. You do not need to use your power adapter in your office at any time (and, indeed, cannot because the Surface Dock uses the same port on your Surface).
 +
 +**The hope is that, for the vast majority of cases, the battery inside of the Surface Pro 4 will be sufficient to get through a class (or three) in most cases.**
 +
 +However, because power is provided by the Surface Dock in your office, you are encouraged to keep your power adapter with you while going to class or traveling. Network Services is going to work to provide ease of access in the classrooms to power strips so that plugging and unplugging power adapters will be easy enough to do. This will benefit the students and guests who will be presenting in the classrooms as well.
 +
 +In the case that you feel there is a need for an additional power adapter, genuine Microsoft adapters can be purchased from Amazon or a 3rd party adapter can be purchased as well.
