 * Ms. Sigler's Notes from Meeting**

Plan, plan, plan

Juniors 1st semester, then rest of 9-12
 * Ft. Calhoun -- iPad 1:1**

All teachers, iPads, 2 day training, shown basics, etc., had over summer

Adopted by Junior class initially: all have same English, history, chemistry—focus on use in those classrooms, good class, good teachers

First time of 1:1 with anything, huge success—students & teachers

Student engagement: Kid that sat in the back… now takes notes/engaged High level of excitement, their world, how they operate

Nobody forgets their books.

60 juniors: 2 damaged, 1 stolen Pay $35 fee to take home device—all students have paid this

Casecrown iPad covers for all devices

Student iPads are 16 GB / some teachers had more memory

Chemistry – download chapter at a time (save memory)

ck12.org for textbooks

No keyboards were purchased, a couple students bought them on their own & stopped using them because they were bulky to carry around & they managed typing as well without them.

A couple teachers requested a stylus (for example, art teacher) for use with iPads—just purchased as teachers requested


 * Apple Rep**

iBooks on laptops—development will likely go toward iPads (because of the decline in Macs/PC use & increase in adoption of mobile/tablet devices)

Mark (Apple) probably reccommend 32 GB for book storage

With use of iBooks, students actually have individual license: each student iPad has the base of apps the school provides & syncs to both the school apps as well as a student iTunes account—apps/music downloaded can be filtered at school level with Lion Server or JAMF. For example, a student will have the collection of apps the school provides, then given a code to download their iBook—that iBook stays connected to their iTunes account—always. Notes are synced to iTunes account as well.

Keyboard with 7th & 8th – teacher said keyboard vs. screen about 1 word/minute difference
 * Other**


 * Internet access:** Most said they were concerned at first, West Holt @20% no home access, but students access at school, teachers give them a heads up to access info if needed from web, other districts said they access in public places—library, restaurants, coffee shops, sitting in parking lot.

One to One: advantage to NESA testing, they are able to practice on a computer: same situation as what they are tested in, use to typing.


 * Keyboarding**: more offered in 6-8th grade, some schools start 1st, some 4th grade, start with “keyboarding awareness” in 2nd grade


 * One to One:** wireless access, increased server space, look at infrastructure/update, people may have up to 3 devices

LPS: Tech is not about “saving money”.


 * Sold it to board**: Students carried laptops for 2 weeks (10 kids), compose & present to board about their experience, powerful presentation

Students “We were better prepared for college using laptops.”

“Why lock up great tool at 4:00 every day?”

LPS Observation: Highlighting in textbooks in college—not traditionally done in high school, engage the content, encourages/rewards being engaged with learning, no “don’t highlight”.

4-row planter—why do you buy newest equipment as a farmer?

There is a need to “play” on technology, that is where they hone their skills, just like scrimmaging in football.

Identify a job that does not require technology use.
