LESSONS LEARNED
Staggered deployment Need support positions to ensure successful implementation of 1:1 Consistent and regular communication with all role groups crucial to successful implementation; planning team representatives provided opportunities for colleagues to pose questions or provide input that were discussed at planning meetings

Cant possibly anticipate everything (kernel panics) Not as bad as we thought (no thefts, damage minimal) Continual refinement; evolution Need for consistent enforcement and implementation (e.g.-teaminitiated laptop inspections) Guidebook revisions were necessary Created KMS Classroom Expectations poster for year 2 Teachers willing to enforce guidelines to hold students accountable for acceptable use Needed to develop a systematic cyberethics curriculum

Continue PBL Continued need for team/grade curricular planning

Need for more Cyber Safety training- expert to speak to parents/teachers/students Plan effectively to mitigate issues involved with construction/move, new hardware, OS, and software Need to have time for Task Force retreats From Retreat: consistency between teams and the need for tech benchmarks (7-12), info literacy, what do we do with parents with limited tech proficiency

Emphasis should be placed on educating students about proper laptop use rather than monitoring. Monitoring usually teaches students to avoid getting caught rather than doing whats right. iPads purchased through the grant were the 1st generation and has limited capabilities. We need to pilot the iPad 2 to determine if issues with the original iPad are resolved. Another grant proposal will be submitted for this. The mobile devices also need to be placed into the hands of students for testing/logistics management purposes. A grant proposal will be submitted for this.
