  • "We spend approximately $330 per pupil per year on textbooks," he said. "Over four years, that's over $1,500. With the Android tablet, we'll issue it to a student when he's in the ninth grade. He will have that four years. So, that's under $150 compared to $1,500."

      This point should help to "make the pitch" as district leaders love the prospect of saving money. Going paperless saves not only on textbooks, though. Reams of paper won't need to be consumed, saving on toner cartridges, service repairs to copiers, less frequent need to replace copiers. One investment for the ninth grade student lasts four years. insurance policy costs? 
  • "The kids will have Internet access wherever they are in the building,"

      Eric Telfer on 11 Jul 13
       
      Okay, but will there be an equity issue for some students when they are at home? You can't flip a classroom if some kids have sketchy dial-up access from home, or no internet access.

      Get a contract out to parents over the summer. Fine kids too if they misplace their device (school bus, gym, at another school, athletic complex).

      Crux of this whole pitch/proposal.

    Part of the pitch to go paperless, to some degree within the district, or just BFA. Good budgetary motivation for the Elephant.

    Ushering classrooms into the 21st century is an expensive undertaking, but painful budget cuts have made purchasing tablet computers, iPod Touches, Kindles and other devices unfeasible, say district officials. So schools are asking students to "BYOD," or Bring Your Own Device.

    Photograph by Harry Gould Harvey IV In September, the Los Angeles Unified School District began carrying out a $50 million plan to equip 30,000 students in 47 schools from kindergarten through 12th grade with an iPad. Giving kids iPads sounds like installing candy machines on every desk, or worse, Xboxes.

      Just like everything else you do the first 6 weeks of school. Do guided discover with the iPads and establish rules.
  • “Avoid focusing on apps…focus on what students can create using iPads
  • Instead, focus on projects that deepen reading and writing using blended media (e.g. video/audio)
  • One way to accomplish that includes changing the way you teach to present students with projects and problems that require collaboration, communication, and problem-solving.
