  1. Planning a 1:1 Implementation NETA April 26-27, 2012 Jane Davis jdavis@esu16.org

  2. Topics Covered • Planning • Technology Committee • Hardware • Software • SIS/Learning Management System • Infrastructure • Tech Support • Training – Staff Development • Policy/Procedure • Funding/Budgeting

  3. Planning • Begin your planning process by surveying your staff and students. • Look at the results to determine your need. • What goals do you want to accomplish. • What do you need in place to achieve those goals. • Change is easier to establish if there is a consensus

  4. Goals • Our Learning Goal was tied to our SIP Goal – • SIP GOAL: to improve reading comprehension in all curricular areas. • Software was chosen that focused upon Marzano’s research-based instructional strategies • After digesting our survey results, we created a community technology committee to help us answer these questions. • Then went to our school board with a proposal. • It is about the “learning” not the hardware. We named our proposal “project LEAP – laptops enhancing academic performance.

  5. Technology Committee • Student • Staff • Community • Teachers • Administration • Met at least once a month, they listened to vendor proposals and helped to created the software list. Gave input on policy.

  6. Our proposal included a K-12 technology solution that included 1:1 for 9-12 students • Provide laptops to K-12 staff members • Provide laptops to Board of Education • Provide laptops to 9-12 students • Provide a 24 station laptop cart for 7-8 grade use. • Provide three 24 station laptop cart for grades K-6. • Free up one computer lab so that it can be an extra classroom

  7. Partners • Local ESU’s for training • Hardware vendor • Leasing company

  8. Hardware:Include other needs as well • Laptops • Consider accidental coverage, which covers them for everything except theft or fire. • Digital cameras and camcorders • Docking stations • Server storage space • Additional batteries and chargers

  9. Software - • Choose software that will emphasize student learning

  10. Student Information System • Communication between parents, staff and students increased. • We measured this by tracking statistical data from our SIS

  11. Learning Management System Solution • a place where the teachers can tie all the elements of their classes together. • a virtual locker area where teachers and students can keep all their materials together, helping them become more efficient and better organized. • Can be reused each year

  12. Infrastructure • Servers • Wireless Access • Switches • Wiring

  13. Wireless Access • Consider a centrally managed system • Look at high impact areas such as gyms, common areas etc. • Decide how much of your campus to cover – i.e. parking lot etc.

  14. Tech Support • Will a 1:1 require a need for more tech support in your building. • Will you need a help desk ticking system?

  15. Training • Staff • Students • Parents • Administrators • Board Members

  16. Staff Development • ESU 16 • Local teachers/technology coordinators • Made a list of mandatory/optional training • Proposal included more staff development time

  17. Policy/Procedure • Find out from other schools what works • Be flexible, realize that things will come up that will force you change your policy

  18. Funding/Budgeting • Two types of Leases • $1 buyout • Fair market value • Utilize all sources • REAP • SPED • Title IID • Grants • Library • Textbooks

  19. What was the best selling point? • We bought or received some “TESTER” units and gave them to kids to use. • Students reported their usage at a board meeting • Also did a survey

  20. What would we do differently? Spend more time on staff development.

  21. How has learning changed • Creating more digital content to store and retrieve. • Needed a new tape backup system. • A greater expectation…teachers post assignments, notes in MyElearning for student review. Students expect the information to be available to them when they need it.

  22. How has learning changed con’t • An expectation that the learning day is longer. Teachers and students expect to use their laptops at home in the evening and on weekends to be productive.

  23. Student Quote • “Working on assignments on the computer because it is faster and easier. We could have the teacher's notes right with us and could refer to them a lot easier. I learned better by having my notes with me at all times. “

  24. Student Quote • “It allowed me to take assignments home and really fine tune them to get them where I wanted them. As opposed to last year when I only got to work on typed assignments at school for 1 or two periods a day. “
