Phase 4: Compelling Case for Change

Phase 4: Conduct a Readiness Assessment

Designing and Implementing Technologies that effectively support learning How do I choose the most appropriate device for education? How are the devices going to be deployed, managed and controlled? Is the network infrastructure appropriate for a large scale device deployment? How will the technical solution be supported?

9/18/2018 How ready are you in terms of teacher preparedness, technology infrastructure, and your facilities? Step 13: Establish Critical Partnerships Intent of this slide: Introduce Step 13. Summary: Explore various partnership opportunities across a range of needs. Engage suppliers that have a vested interest in ensuring the program works, that devices are maintained and students have a reliable 1:1 experience. Core Concepts: Partnership opportunities should be explored across the range of initiative needs. These include partnerships around: Infrastructure and support. Professional learning. Student learning. Telecommunication needs. In terms of infrastructure and hardware, In reaching out to establish a breadth of support and increase capacity beyond the school, select a project partner, not merely a supplier when purchasing hardware, including all elements of your infrastructure. Repair and replacement of any components must be handled competently and promptly to avoid creating frustrating situations for teachers and learners, which can be obstacles to achieving your goals. Just as important are partnerships across the other range of needs. © 2012 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

School readiness: How ready are you in each of these areas? 9/18/2018 8:09 AM School readiness: How ready are you in each of these areas? Technical support Connectivity Wireless access Network storage Power supply Security It is typically the small details that cause the most disruption when overlooked such as storage, security, battery life, required software upgrades, internet access speed etc. School leaders must work with staff to spend significant time defining key productivity tools, including software packages and hardware requirements, recognizing student needs may vary significantly.   Research shows a critical factor for the effective implementation of 1-1 computing is the existence and maintenance of a high quality network infrastructure, including wireless access, broadband and storage. Local school infrastructure should meet a set of minimum acceptable standards prior to advancing a 1-to-1 and planning, monitoring and improvements must be ongoing. Quality maintenance and technical support staff are essential and systems must be introduced early in the process to address technical support and repair issues. Many schools use student trainees to assist in providing on-site technical support / maintenance. © 2010 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
