The approximate stages for High School implementation are as follows:

August 2008  

• HS teachers issued laptops* instead of desktops
• Install LCDs into the remaining 1/3 of classrooms
• Install a complete and comprehensive wireless infrastructure High School wide
• Install a new HS network infrastructure with new servers
• Upgrade power provisions on HS campus
• Considerable teacher training in using laptops and other 1to1 tools in everyday classes (embedding 1to1 in our curriculum, assessment, and classroom methodology). Ironically, implementing a successful 1to1 program is more about the classroom than the technology.
• High School students are encouraged to bring laptops* on a voluntary basis to class

August 2009
