The model aims to enable teachers to design, develop, and integrate digital learning experiences that utilize technology to transform learning experiences to lead to high levels of achievement for students."

Training topics were split into each subject area.
Example: Math covered Digital Citizenship.
Training completed at the beginning of the year--think about when new students come or transition years from different schools. Think about a process in advance
Training models were customized to the school & planned by instructional technology & school admin--received support from central office staff

10. Tech Help Desk Established
Each school has a full-time help desk technician.
These individuals are able to quickly fix tablet issues and send students back to class.
If a tablet needs more than a quick repair, a loaner is distributed to the student and the tablet remains in the help desk for repair.
Originally, our repairs were outsourced with a 2-3 day window--fairly efficient. Costly process.
Now, technicians complete the repairs themselves because they have been fully trained by Fujitsu. Saves us some money and time.

11. Lessons Learned Don’t overlook the impact of the teacher.
Provide teachers access to the device beforehand.
Provide teachers and students the same device.
Professional Development and Training
Must be ongoing and in a variety of structures
Hardware and infrastructure must be continually monitored and adjusted to respond to the changing needs.
Lessons learned slide --discuss positive impact
- same device solution: Teacher are able to access the same image that the students see using a cloud solution - Citrix.
PD -- face to face, group/PLC, unconference model (dynamically sessions occur) screencast and webinar
We have added mice, keyboards as students need them. --classroom sets available--software modified based on what’s occurring in the classroom

12. 1-1 Successes The rewards are immense.
Increased student engagement and achievement
