  1. Going Forward “Improving Student Engagement with Innovative Technology” (aka “The iPad Plan) Prepared by: RicSwigger & Cory Munro May 14, 2013

  2. Agenda: • History of the plan/Vision • Benefits • Logistics • Costing • Where we are/What’s next? • Feedback/Discussion

  3. History • Original plan – 2009, lack of funding, other issues • 2013 – Revised plan, some funding secured In a time of declining enrollment and increasingly larger social challenges, we need to look to the future of the school. • Schools need to be innovative and tech compliant to prepare students for their future and social realities • Schools need to continually strive for innovative ways to improve student success • Students need opportunities to learn in a variety of way (differentiated) • Schools need to evaluate successful traditions but be prepared to adjust to newer realities • Teachers should be helping students scaffold/connect the “bigger ideas” outside of the teacher’s own curricular areas or interests Vision

  4. Why could it work at C.D.H.S? • Small school – chance of reaching all students is greater • Personalization for each student • Team leadership • Innovation = engagement? • Community Support • Active Parent Group

  5. Proposal: To transform the current classroom to a fully digital environment. ALL grade 9 students would have access to an iPad mini OR be subsidized for the purchase of their own device.

  6. Benefits

  7. Logistics Students would be encouraged to “bring their own device” (BYOD) in their grade 9 year. They would use this device through grades 10, 11, and 12. Students would have option to purchase their own iPad or iPad mini at a subsidized cost Students would have control over their own devices, the school board would have control over school owned devices Potential “payment plans” Student use agreement would need to be supported by board, parent council, staff, students

  8. Costing/Finances • Based on purchase of 55 iPads each year • User fee (# contributing) increases each year • Based on $15,000 annual commitment from private donor • School contribution made up from savings (eg. Photocopying, textbook replacement, etc.) • Sustainable over 4 years • Chart does not include students who opt to buy their own device thus lowering costs…

  9. Costing/Finances • iPad 3 Subsidy - $200.00 • iPad mini Subsidy - $100.00 Total Cost with subsidy/educational pricing: iPad 3 - $333.75 ($604.25) iPad mini - $261.68 ($480.00)

  10. Hypothetical Situations

  11. Where we are… What’s next… Original plan had support of board (Alana Murray, Michael Morgan) Consultation stage – staff, parent council, student groups, administration, IT department Financial commitment from Joe and Marilyn Hunt has put this back on the table Staff Commitment, staff feedback, parent council feedback, board commitment Ironing out “logistics” and “technicalities” Implementation planning Training

  12. Feedback/Discussion Written and verbal feedback is welcome and encouraged Need support of parents and others to proceed Questions???
