I would recommend giving teachers the laptops for a year and then students =
the following year. We planned for a year, gave faculty and some staff tabl=
ets for a year, and the all students got tablets the following year.

Subject: 1:1 Laptop Planning
We are planning to gradually roll out a 1:1 program, with planning to cont
inue this year, teachers to receive a laptop next year and tightly coordin
ated PD including enumerated expectations regarding use in classes when we
get there in year three. We will organize on-line and face to face trainin
g among cadres of teacher trainers, send some to Hong Kong for multiple ob
servations and such.
The question though, is how much lead time did your school use or would yo
u recommend from committing to a gradual 1:1 until teachers receive a comp
uter. There is some concern that we should plan the rest of this year, pla
n throughout 09-10, train in 10-11 and finally put computers in one or two
grades in 11-12.
Is 1.75 years of planning really necessary? Did your school do it in more=
=20
or less? I know careful planning beyond just infrastructure and training m
ust take place. Policies, equipment, repair arrangements etc. but feel 1.7
5 years of planning might result in loss of anticipation? We are an intern
ational school outside of Hong Kong. By 2011-12 we will likely have a 75%=
=20
turn over in staff.
Any thoughts?
