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
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.
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.
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
Partners Local ESU’s for
training Hardware vendor Leasing company
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
Software -
Choose software that will emphasize student learning
Student Information System
Communication between parents, staff and students increased.
We measured this by tracking statistical data from our SIS
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
Infrastructure Servers Wireless Access Switches Wiring
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.
Tech Support Will a 1:1 require a need for more
tech support in your building. Will you need a help desk ticking
system?
Training Staff Students Parents Administrators Board Members
Staff Development ESU 16 Local
teachers/technology coordinators
Made a list of mandatory/optional training
Proposal included more staff development time
Policy/Procedure Find out from other schools what
works Be flexible, realize that things will
come up that will force you change your policy
Funding/Budgeting Two types of Leases
$1 buyout Fair market value
Utilize all sources REAP SPED Title IID Grants Library Textbooks
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
What would we do differently?
Spend more time on staff development.
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.
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.
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. “
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. “
