Basic Level School Technology Standard Review/discuss basic standards Make recommendations on changes/additions Discuss other items for inclusion into the basic standards

Caution!! This is not a wish list Every item has a cost We cant ask for the moon, because we wont get it Must be reasonable and make trade-offs Must haves Nice to have

Basic Computer Standards – Time for a Change? Consider change to standard? Weve been standardized on Dell and Apple for seven years Dell versus other Tier 1? Are we satisfied? Is it time for a change?

Basic Standard – Labs Student Labs Number of labs dependent upon type school, covered earlier Student Labs consist of: 30 workstations Intelligent Classroom Outlet Projector Printer Whiteboard or Tablet/wireless projector Document camera Audio amplification Lab Management software (exp: Netops, Vision, etc)
