    2. Project: LEAP Laptops Enhancing Academic Performance

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

    4. Planning December 2005 – Surveyed students and teachers February 2006 – Went to school board with survey results and presentation asking for permission to come up with a plan for 1:1 computing March 2006 – Presented at school board meeting on progress of technology committee. April 2006 – Students and staff presented at school board meeting how they would use technology if they had access to it. May 2006 – Board approved plan. Ordered hardware/software. June – July 2006 – Made images, offered staff development. Handed out teacher laptops. August 2006 – Hired new technology staff position and handed out laptops to students during the first week of school.

    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. Goals Learning Goal – GOAL: Infuse 21st Century learning skills into current curriculum Technology Goal – GOAL: Transforming current curriculum into digital curriculum and 1:1 learning in Language Arts, Social Studies, Science and Math. Teachers Teachers need training on how to use technology to make their teaching easier, more productive and more effective. need ease of use Teachers need to know that the data is secure. (login password) Teachers need access 24/7 Students Students need portability, ease of use, and a task to use them for. Students need to be able to save data to a secure storage location. Students need security i.e. login, virus protection Students need access 24/7

    7. Our proposal: Provide laptops to 7-12 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 a 24 station laptop cart for grades K-6. Free up one computer lab so that it can be an extra classroom

    8. Partners ESU 16 – Software training ESU 10 – Hardware support – Wireless infrastructure. GovConnections – Hardware supplier Lenovo – Hardware replacement/repair MyElearning of Nebraska Capital Leasing

    9. Hardware: Laptops All laptops will need 3 year accidental coverage, which covers them for everything except theft or fire. Digital cameras and camcorders will be available in the library for checkout to staff. Teachers will need docking stations, mouse and keyboard.

    10. Hardware Durable We purchased extra warranties that provided for accidental drops and electrical surges. Parents' coverage Homeowners covers because it is leased and the students have it 24/7 Parents can purchase a rider called a "Personal Article Policy" - no deductible We found that 3 years was more cost effective because of the price of the warranty for the 4th year Don't skimp on RAM or Hard drive space. Purchased extra batteries and chargers Purchased docking stations w/keyboard & mouse for each teacher

    11. Software - Choose software that will emphasize student learning Adobe Acrobat Reader Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Elements Microsoft Office 2003 - Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Publisher Microsoft Student 2006 Sonic - Record Now Vital Source Microsoft Internet Explorer Macromedia's Dreamweaver, Fireworks and Flash Microsoft Windows XP Professional Sophos Anti-Virus Windows Media Player Windows Movie Maker Winnebago Spectrum Client Inspiration 8.0 South-Western keyboarding software

    12. Student Information System PowerSchool – this was already in place and all stakeholders were already comfortable using it. Gradebook Parent Access Teacher Access Student Access

    13. Learning Management System Solution Angel/MyElearning ANGEL is a place where the teachers can tie all the elements of their classes together. ANGEL is a virtual locker area where teachers and students can keep all their materials together, helping them become more efficient and better organized. Once teachers have courses in ANGEL they can easily modify and reuse the content in consecutive years.

    14. Infrastructure We had three companies come and give bids. Contracted with ESU #10 to choose, install and supply tech support with Cisco System. We felt this one area that had to work well. We both wanted security and ease of use. We wanted it to work seamlessly with our LAN.

    15. Cisco- Secured Wireless Solution Our wireless infrastructure is comprised of Cisco access points HP Procurve Power over Ethernet switches CAT6 cabling to all access point locations Cisco Wireless LAN Solution Express device to manage current and future access points. Access anywhere in the building and allows users to move about the building without dropping connection. Only authenticated users have access to our LAN through domain certificates that install once authenticated. Centrally managed system

    16. Offline file synchronization You can make network files available offline by storing shared files on your computer so they are accessible when you are not connected to the network. Any shared files or folders on a Microsoft network can be made available offline

    17. Tech Support Created a new position ˝ time Full time in year 2 Lenovo - 3 year complete care package ESU 10 HelpDesk/Odie Tickets

    18. Training Staff Students Parents Administrators Board Members

    19. Staff Development ESU 16 Local teachers/technology coordinators Made a list of mandatory/optional training

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

    21. Funding/Budgeting Leased with fair market buyout Utilize all sources REAP SPED Title IID Grants Library Textbooks

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

    23. 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.

    24. 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.

    36. 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. “

    37. 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. “
