1:1 Deployment is complete

At SCHS we went 1:1 this week.  Any student who did not wish to bring his/her own device was issued an HP Chromebook.  We issued the devices over 3 evenings divided alphabetically.  The process was amazingly smooth and relatively quick.  All of our central office employees and district principals were asked to attend.  Upon arrival, parents were given a checklist and then began moving through stations.  The first indicated whether you were picking up a Chromebook or bring a device from home (even BYOD students had to go through the process).  The next step was to pay a $50 usage fee and sign an agreement re: care, insurance, replacement costs etc….  The next station provided us with the RUP (responsible use policy).  As we moved through each station, someone stamped our checklist.  Next we went to the cafeteria and watched a 15 minute digital citizenship video.  Following a stamp, we then picked up a case for the device and the actual chromebook.  The district purchased a site license for Destiny and checked out the chromebook much like we do a library book.  The final station took us to the library where we found an open table and received help logging into Google chrome, GoogleDrive and email.  Once that was finished we turned in our signed AUP and out the door we went.  After 3 nights and a Saturday morning, we have about 100 students who did not come.  Those families are being contacted individually to determine when they will come in to pick up a device.

Things sure are going to look different around here.
