  12. RESPONSE PLAN:STRATEGIES IN PLACE • Tech Support (20) • Warranty Claim (Self-Maintainer Program) • MSDLT technicians are Lenovo certified for warranty repair • MSDLT gets reimbursed for all warranty repairs performed • Students turn in device and MSDLT technicians process warranty claim • This process in perfect scenario takes 2 to 3 days • If parts on back order, takes 1 to 2 weeks • If warranty claim, can swap device for spare to keep device in students possession • Insurance/Accidental Damages • Will decide if we can finance Insurance for all 1:1 devices • Will decide if we can finance ADP (accidental device protection) • MSDLT technicians process ADP/Insurance claims • This process typically takes up to 2 to 3 weeks • Students receive a loaner device until original unit is repaired and tested • Negligent Damage-covered by ADP if chosen to finance

  13. RESPONSE PLAN:STRATEGIES IN PLACE • Connectivity (16) • All MSDLT Schools have wireless coverage throughout their respective buildings • If any weak zones or non-coverage, MSDLT technicians can easily install hardware to remedy issue • Teachers need the Devices ASAP (14) • Can order teacher devices immediately once decision is made for going 1:1 for HS in the fall of 2014 • Procurement and shipping normally takes 6 to 8 weeks • Deployment takes just a couple of days once received

  14. TEACHER FEEDBACK: PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT Most Mentioned Areas: • Meaningful professional development on the integration of technology into instruction (46) • Professional Development specific to Canvas (7) • Professional Development around the use of specific software (3)

  15. RESPONSE PLAN:STRATEGIES IN PLACE • District-wide technology expectations for the coming year agreed upon and set by all secondary principals. • Principals beginning to share those expectations with their teachers and building staff. • Weekly professional development is being delivered on a weekly basis in all high schools with a solid infrastructure of eLearning and Information Specialists and eCoaches. • Building professional development plans encompass each of the set expectations and deliver all necessary information by the end of this academic year. • Written and agreed upon administrative guidelines developed by the secondary principals (documented in the Secondary Administrative Playbook).

  16. TEACHER FEEDBACK: INSTRUCTIONAL CONTENT Most Mentioned Areas: • Developing Content (20) • Digital Textbooks (9) • Reliable LMS (5)

  18. TEACHER FEEDBACK: LOGISTICS Most Mentioned Areas: • Plan for When Student Doesn’t Bring Device (6) • Appropriate Use of Devices (5) • Lost, Stolen or Damaged Devices (4) • Charging Devices (4)

  19. RESPONSE PLAN:STRATEGIES IN PLACE • Plan for When Student Doesn’t Bring Device (6) • Consistent procedures among all campuses should be developed • Not bringing device is similar to not bringing textbooks • Appropriate Use of Devices (5) • Digital Citizenship which is being performed at each school by Professional Development team • Board policy has moved from Acceptable Use to Responsible Use

  20. RESPONSE PLAN:STRATEGIES IN PLACE • Lost, Stolen or Damaged Devices (4) • Lost/Stolen • Insurance- device claim processed by MSDLT Staff • No insurance - families cover cost of lost device • Damaged • Warranty – Claims processed by MSDLT Staff • Damage – with ADP cost of repair is covered and claim processed by MSDLT Staff

  21. RESPONSE PLAN:STRATEGIES IN PLACE • Charging Devices (4) • Typically battery life is up to 7.5hrs • Non-Issue at Middle Schools • Have Surge Strips available to help • Have procedures in place for repeated cases • Expectations for students to have devices ready for classes

  22. DEVICE Lenovo x131e Chromebook Devices Piloted: • Ipad • Samsung II Chromebook • Lenovo Chromebook • Lenovo 131e Windows (the device currently at the middle school level) Rationale for the recommended device: • It is compatible with ECA testing. • The Google environment provides a good instructional environment. • Each student would have 30G of storage on the cloud which helps alleviate server storage issues. • Students have the ability to access files from any location with an Internet connection. • The Lenovo x131e Chromebook is more durable than the Samsung Chromebook (Samsung is the device that is used in Warren). • Provides students with features suited for secondary students (i.e. keyboards). • Chromebooks have a quick boot time. • MSDLT Support Staff are already Warranty Self-Maintainer Certified

  23. FUNDING 1:1 AT THE HIGH SCHOOLS Total cost of the four year lease - $2,645,000 $2,645,000 (Total lease cost) $1,373,800 (Common School Loan) $1,271,200 (Over three years/$423,733 per year) - $264,500 (Staff Devices) $1,006,700 (4500 Student Devices) $1,006,700/4500 x 25% = $55.92 (Textbook Fees) CPF picks up staff devices • Textbook fees absorb student costs (LMS and software would also need to be included in textbook fees)
