1. 1:1 Grades 9-12 - Lessons Learned
Jim Soya
Mountain View School District

2. Introduction MVSD - Two buildings, 976 students
Rather than refresh student desktops we went 1:1 Chromebooks
Selected Lenovo N ”
Gathered “best practices” info from PETE&C and Tech Talk last year
Presented our notes to administration and emphasised “Pilot” , chromebook policies, mandatory classes for students, lots of staff development.

3. Our Plan Bone up on Google Administration
Contract Migration to IntegraOne
In-place Chromebook bag selection
Didn’t want students removing unit from bag
Evaluated several bags and selected Bump Armor
Liked the handles, shoulder strap, size and amount of protection provided
Tweaked their design to meet our needs

4. Our Plan - continued
Purchased SherpaDesk trouble ticket system to track repairs
Purchased RFID asset management to inventory Chromebooks
Purchased vertical shelving for summer storage of Chromebooks
Went with self insurance $30/year
We cover one major incident:
Cracked screen
Liquid damage
Dead system
Free/Reduced students could make payment plan or participate at reduced rate

5. Our Plan - continued
A number of teachers pursued Google Certification over the summer
We had two days of Google inservice before start of school and a third day in October.
Use of Google Classroom was encouraged this year and will be mandatory next year.
The Principal did Chromebook policies and handling at each grade level

6. What we learned Chromebook participation was 100%
Some parents opted to have us keep their students chromebooks at school
Self-insurance at $30/unit was a good fit for the amount of repairs we had.
We should have held classes on handling and care of Chromebooks
We should have selected a Chromebook that had a self-maintainer program
