John Kraus on 08 Nov 08I see it is hinted at in this blob… But, since we have been sending people to visit schools with 1to1 programs I can't help but wonder what list of information are we making sure we gather from each school. And where can I see a comparison of this data. Of the top of my head I would want details on the computers used in each school. Do teachers and students use the same type of machines? Are there any schools using multiple platforms? What software programs they are allowing students to use as well as any software/abilities that are being blocked? What regulations for student use is being enforced? What are the consequences for violating the computer policies? Is there data on the number of violations they have had? Home many computers (a percentage) are lost/need to be replaced each year? What was their schedule for training staff, students, parents, etc? Can we have copies of any of their training materials? What are the limits for data saved on the school's network drives (for students and teachers)? What expectations are there for teachers to incorporate 1to1 curriculum in their classes? Looking back what is the one thing that they feel must be done to implement a 1to1 program? What is the one thing they with they had done to implement their 1to1 program?

Students can loose access to laptop for 3 days for code of ethics violation plus detention

I think that this is a great way to force students to use the technology appropriately. Would this work in Edina? I can see parents getting really upset if their student looses a laptop for a few days. I can just see the argument from them that their student will not be able to do their homework. I do think that we need to have some consequence though. I also wonder who is in charge of enforcing this as in is the teacher in charge of always checking or is this done by the tech department.

First thing they did was to write a 10 year tech plan with vision, revisions are made every year.

Edina's Tech Plan runs from 2008-20012. It can be found on the Media and Technology Site off the main district page.
