Rolling Out 1:1
●
●
1:1 one grade level at a time
a.
Took 4 years for our high school to get to 1:1.
b.
This helped with PD, we only had to focus on one grade level
c.
Created teacher "experts" that helped with the following year
d.
Helped budget, spreading the cost out over multiple years
"Check-out" device using our library Destiny system
Tips for Success
●
●
●
"Check-out" our device using our library Destiny system
a.
Barcode all of the devices and check in/out is much easier.
b.
Run "help desk" in LMC. If a student has an issue they bring in their device, it is checked it in, check them
out a temporary device, then techs fix it...once repaired the student returns/swaps devices.
c.
Alphabetize our devices to make sure our students get the same chromebook each year.
Going all in with GAFE is a must.
Teachers, administrators, PTOs should always go through IT for purchasing devices & setting up management
(don’t go to Best Buy)
