Thank you so much for coming along to the information meeting for 1:1 device meeting held last Tuesday. We were delighted with the turn out and from the feedback we have received it seems that it was of value. For those that could not make it here is a short summary. Please note the new tabs at the top of this page where you can find additional information at the click of a button.
The evening was divided into 3 parts. Derek Wenmoth spoke about the need to go digital. He outlined the changes that have happened over the years in a witty and engaging way. He talked us through the benefits and the risks of technology. Derek's presentation covered many of those questions that were asking why can't things stay the same?
Jo and Lee presented a view of how the classrooms might look in 2015. They talked about why 1:1 and not BYOD and why chrome books.There was clip on the google chrome books and also the hapara dashboard which is how the work is organised. They outlined what work that had taken place so far in readiness for going 1:1.
Mike Hilliard from the trust discussed the google chromebooks, the lease to own option and the buy outright option. He discussed insurances and answered many questions from the floor.
At the end of the evening (which did finish on time!) there were questions from the floor as well as an opportunity for parents to come froward and ask questions at the end in a less public setting. Parents also had a question sheet that they could fill in.
The next step is to survey our parents and find out how many would be interested in leasing to own or purchasing a google chromebook. This information will help us with our planning for next year.
