Technology-Phase 2
1:1
Changing How We Deliver Technology to
Students and Staff
Why 1:1?
• 1:1 changes how a teacher “teaches” and a student learns
• According to Project Red (a group of educators and industry
leaders, www.projectred.org) the following was found to be
true
– Finding 1: Nine key implementation factors are linked most strongly
to education success.
– Finding 2: Properly implemented technology saves money.
– Finding 3: 1:1 schools employing key implementation factors
outperform all schools and all other 1:1 schools.
– Finding 4: The principal’s ability to lead change is critical. Change
must be modeled and championed at the principal level.
Why 1:1
– Finding 5: Technology-transformed intervention improves learning.
– Finding 6: Online collaboration increases learning productivity and
student engagement.
– Finding 7: Daily use of technology delivers the best return on
investment (ROI).

– Computers and Labs eliminated or reallocated:
» Lab 203-eliminated and useable computers reallocated to
classrooms
» Lab 209-moved to the portable classroom for general
purpose lab-elementary and middle School
» WD Lab-eliminated March 2013-No useable computers to
reallocate-computers recycled
» Room 230 (Rusch)-computers reallocated to classrooms
» West Library lab (language lab)-eliminated and useable
computers reallocated to classrooms
Why 1:1
Jeff Dunn , a teacher and technology website creator
(Edudemic.com) states in a recent article on 1:1
“The opportunity to pilot this program pushed me to do more
research, to think bigger, to try new ideas and methods – and to
expect more from my students. I recently read a speech in which
someone made the statement that it’s not really the devices that
create this incredible learning environment – but how the
devices spur teachers to recreate themselves and their
classrooms. I couldn’t agree more.”
What the Students Have to Say….
Why 1:1
The recent results from the Community Planning Team show
that:
77 total votes believed a focus on STEM (science, technology,
engineering, and math)should be a District priority.
Following closely by:
56 total votes showed the need for the District to provide a
technologically advanced environment for 21st century learning.
Mission Statement
“To provide a safe and challenging learning environment that
prepares students for the future.”
Using this mission statement, the Technology Focus Group
looked at many options to enhance our learners technology and
move towards a 21st Century Classroom.

Looking for the Right Fit
• Over the last few months, the group has been busy attending
conferences, doing research and evaluating tablets and
laptops
– A group of teachers visited Lake City to view their 1:1 with iPads
– A group of teachers, committee members and staff attended the
Minnetonka 1:1 iPad conference
• A sub-group of this event went to Edina HS to look at their 1:1 with BYOD
(bring your own device) and visited Partnership Academy, an Inter-City
School, using Microsoft Solutions. Thank you to the PI-AAA Foundation
for funding this study and conference
– Taylor Bauman attended the Iowa 1:1 conference, which is an “open”
event and had over 1000 attendees
Developed a Requirements Framework
• After reviewing all of the data and having some group
discussions, we developed a list of requirements or features
that we deemed as District priorities:
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
Reduce the number of labs-online testing capable
Management and software support
Battery life
Ability to type
Ability to take handwritten notes (digitizer)
Ability to use Adobe Flash
USB port
Staff Development
Availability and cost of Applications
The Technology Focus Group Worked Diligently
to Ensure Alignment with District Goals
• Efficient and Effective Operations
–
–
–
–
Reduce computer labs-cost to replace and maintain
Reduce power use
Reduce paper and printing costs
Reduction or elimination of textbooks
• High Student Achievement
– Enhanced learning for students
– Ability for staff to better manage classroom time
– Increased student participation, interaction and engagement
• Collaboration and Communication
– Better collaboration with other students and teachers using 21st Century
tools like Moodle, video conferencing and social media

The Outcomes
• Time and energy was devoted to not only studying the 1:1
possibility but also the comprehensive technology needs of
the District. The goal was to ensure a seamless preK-12
technology plan.
– Include all grades and staff
– Reuse computers and iPads where applicable by redeploying in
classrooms
– Equitable across all grades
– Maintain state testing needs for all grades
What Does the Plan Look Like?
• The final plan covers K-12
– K-2
– 3-6

computers removed from labs)
7-8
4-New laptop carts with Lenovo x131e laptops (120 total)
9-12
Lenovo Tablet 2 Windows 8 tablets
K-6 Staff iPad’s (from existing carts)
7-12 Staff Lenovo Tablet 2 Windows 8 tablets
Eliminate 4 computer labs
• West Library lab, Room 230 (remain a classroom) WD lab and Room 203
– Move computer lab 209 to the portables for general use and testing
– Replace the tech lab with new computers to meet PLTW requirements and
reallocate the computers for classrooms
Estimated Costs
• After negotiating the best value pricing available, the
following is the estimated total cost for a 3 year plan:
– 1:1 Lenovo Tablet 2 - 405 Total (staff and students)
• $344,250
(3 Year lease annually- $118,707)
• Funding would rely on committed technology dollars for 2013-14, 20142015 and 2015-2016
– 4 Laptop Carts – 120 Total Laptops with Carts
• $70,800
(3 Year lease annually- $24,702)
• Funding Source: Annual Technology Budget for 2013-14, 2014-2015 and
2015-2016
– 30 Technology workstations-Tech lab/Project Lead the Way
• $31,010
(3 Year lease annually- $10,867)
• Funding Source: Annual Technology Budget for 2013-14, 2014-2015 and
2015-2016
PI-AAA and PTSO Funding Programs
• The PTSO has committed to help fund the new technology
initiatives. They are doing multiple fundraisers to assist with
the purchase and implementation of new and exciting
technology in the Pine Island School District. The total
amount committed will be determined after the last
fundraiser.
• The PI-AAA has been involved in the process from the
beginning and is looking for ways to assist with the new
technology. There are a number of opportunities they could
help with including professional development funding and
additional training resources.
Recommendation
• The Technology Focus Group would like to recommend that
the School Board of Pine Island Public Schools allocate the
committed technology dollars for 2013-14, 2014-2015 and
2015-2016 for the implementation of 1:1 program for grades
9-12. The device that we recommend is the Lenovo Tablet 2.
