Chromebook 1:1 Round table
Deployment
Reseller can enterprise enroll the devices for an extra fee
There are ways to automate enterprise enrollment if it's being done in house (usb rubber ducky)
You can have the students come down during a homeroom/prep and enroll them via an open WAP.
Policy
What is acceptable use?
Set acceptable use in your handbook - signed by student and parent
Set list of repairs and costs so parents and students are aware
Take them through a slideshow that details this is not your device, and some common problems/repairs
One district sends electronic invoice to parents and puts into student lunch account balance account through custom webapp.
Habitual offenders in the 1:1, cannot take them home. They must be used in school only, but that is an administrative decision.
Insurance Policy? Cost? Self insured?
Who takes the responsibility for enforcing the “use policies?”
Take Home Policy
Good acceptable use policy
tiered repair policy that more and more expensive
get a good device and are durable
have a meeting explaining the use policy (give examples of actions that damage chromebooks)
have enough spare devices to have a hot swap
bill repairs to lunch account
Care and Training
How many have students assisting with the care and repair of the devices?
Does this model lend itself better for high school or k-8?
Brillion has a student intern assisting with repairs- We specifically pick devices based on their repairability
Pushpa has recruited 2 interns from local tech college who repair
Muskego has Tech Center as part of some tech/business curriculum at the HS, where all HS CB’s are fixed in house. We have agreement with TRA (Milwaukee) for the ones the students cannot fix.
Moline (IL) implemented a student led helpdesk - 15 to 20 students that are taking a majority of the repairs.
How many 1:1 districts do their own repairs vs a maintenance contract?
Internal repair - 111111
Maintenance/warranty
Factory Warranty Only - 11
Additional Warranty -
Kiel - We are taking advantage of 1 yr Dell factory warranty in conjunction with TRA insurance on a four year plan more so for physical damage
Franklin - We repair very few now since we’ve just contracted with TRA for repairs. They pick up and deliver once per week.
Chromebooks Testing
MAJOR “GOTCHAS”?
Educational (staff use) software that won’t work on a CB?
Smartnotebook Express (Cloud version of Smart Notebook)
SMART Notebook! Active Inspire (Promethean)
Not 100% but ive heard that the grading software for powerschool doesnt work (uses java)
Educational (student use) software that won’t work on a CB?
Anything that uses java
Taking away MS Office
It is posible to remove office in a school district
make sure you have extra support when you take away office
Some Districts are replacing Windows/Mac Staff computers with chromebooks
Screen Casting
EOL Chromebook
Google Apps Management Roundtable
Converting from Office google docs
Word Document Citations

1:1 Windows
Didn't Work
Microsoft direct access doesn't work for schools (Works better for Win8 and up)
Microsoft System center (sccm) - randomly doesn't work
Printing AD printers do not work (laptop do not receive published printer)
spinning disk hard drives have extremely high failure rate
Battery ⇒ battery failure rate at 2 yr rises significant increase
Power Supplies ⇒ students wrap chargers too tightly.
Teachers ⇒ teachers not willing to come in for summer training. Most teachers didn't see a value in 1:1 devices. Teachers had issues with classroom management. Was a primary issue at Lake Park-Audibon classroom management.

Wifi converge 1AP per classroom
classroom management software ⇒ netOps ⇒ used to project teachers screen on student laptops
