Participation Rate in Parent Opinion Survey 2010: 14%

May 2010 Invited to participate in the NSSCF Round 3:

Proof of Concept Pilotobjective – 1-to-1 ratio Years 9-12

Simple guidelines:- No co-contribution from parents - 1-to-1 ratio to be achieved by Dec 2011- eduSTAR platform to be installed- Program to complement ULTRANET rollout

Immediate complications

- the funding that was to follow was to COMPLIMENT the funding that had been received in round 2.1 – objective = 1:2 ratio years 9-12

- GPSC (together with local network) had already committed to a 1-to-1 program 2011 – with a co-contribution requirement from parents following Network PD with Bruce Dixon.

What if’s! Questions began to flow- Damage? Theft? Insurance? Storage? Power? Tech support? Budgets/purchasing?

What did a successful ‘1-to-1’ netbook program

Look like? Feel like? Sound like? .......at Galvin Park?

How to Import Users

There are two ways the Asset Manager can import users:- Via the Student Management Tool (Xtreme Software)- From cases (via a CSV import feature)

Netbooks are created on the fly once a new loan is created or manually via the ‘New Netbook’ feature.

A CSV Netbook import utility is currently in development.
