and away from managed machines for teachers, we have begun removing
desktops from classrooms. So if a teacher is assigned a room without a
desktop, he/she gets a laptop or a tablet, regardless of how many
sections are assigned to that teacher. I should point out that we are
not a laptop school and very few of our students carry their own
personal laptops around to classes. We provide the machine for the
teacher's administrative duties and for any academic goals they wish to
pursue within their classes. - Vi

Subject: Part-time teachers and use of school laptops?
As our Upper School grows and prepares to graduate it's first class, we
are increasing our course offerings. To facilitate these electives, we
will be using a few part-time teachers. They are only going to teach one
course - Latin for example. We are trying to figure out how to handle
their need for a laptop and does it make good business sense to provide
a laptop to them. They may already have a laptop from their main
employer but their guidelines might prevent them for using them for
other employment.
Have any of you had similar situations? If so how did you handle it?
Thanks
