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

  • Generally Pearson testing just works on managed chromebooks

MAJOR “GOTCHAS”?

  • Educational (staff use) software that won’t work on a CB?

  • Educational (student use) software that won’t work on a CB?
