The way students learn today is changing. School districts around the nation are moving from pencils and

paper to innovative technologies. Incorporating technology into the classroom and the learning experience requires

more than simply purchasing computers. Providing more is what Dell’s 1:1 Computing solution is all about. We will

introduce you to our comprehensive solution and demonstrate how partnering with Dell can allow you to add more

to your learning environment.

At Dell, we’ve taken a different approach — one that goes beyond traditional ways of utilizing technology for

education. We know that as an educator, you need the skills and technology to help enhance the entire classroom

experience. Your students need access to innovative technology that can help them build essential skills for the

21st century. In addition, you need the expertise and strategic insight of a technology provider who understands the

K–12 environment. With Dell’s comprehensive 1:1 Computing solution, that’s exactly what you get.

First, a look back.For more than 20 years, we’ve been working closely with educators to better understand the challenges you face.

Working with students and teachers in all 50 states has given us invaluable, firsthand research. We’ve learned a

“one size fits all” solution is not effective. For a computing solution to truly be successful, it must be tailored to the

specific needs and goals of your educational environment.

We’ve also learned that technology skills are essential for your students to be successful in the future. Whether

students continue on to higher education or to the workplace, we know that it takes more than simply adding technology

for technology’s sake. Your students need engaging technology that can help them learn. They need to communicate

and collaborate across multiple media in today’s high-tech world. To provide these critical educational elements, we

need to tailor instruction to various learning styles. We must customize and implement technology seamlessly into the

learning experience and ensure it is used effectively.

Now, looking forward.To help make the most of these opportunities, we’ve developed an educational computing

solution designed to help enhance the teaching and learning experience — Dell 1:1 Computing.

Comprehensive and customizable, 1:1 Computing is a framework that can go beyond simply

implementing affordable, reliable technology. Instead, it includes strategies that help you

invest in more than IT solutions. Our solution can help you effectively utilize technology,

resources, and best practices to help improve the quality of learning, increase performance,

and meet educational goals. This includes:

• Curriculum and Assessment Strategies • Comprehensive Infrastructure

• Professional Development Resources • Comprehensive Service and Support

• Educational Computing Leadership • Customized Solutions

The following pages can serve as your educator resource, outlining the benefits and

advantages of Dell’s 1:1 Computing solution. You’ll learn more about how we’ve developed a

complete solution that can help improve student achievement, increase educator productivity,

and provide opportunities where the entire community can take an active role in education.

Dell believes it is our responsibility as a technology leader to help prepare our students

for the 21st century — and beyond.

BEYONDAVERAGE.Strategies for a collaborative

educational community.

There’s no question that implementing a successful

1:1 Computing solution begins with a technology-enriched

learning environment centered around the educator/student

experience. However, it does not end there.

Our comprehensive 1:1 Computing solution extends beyond

the classroom to empower teachers as a group. Advanced

networking solutions, including portals and learning management

systems, allow educators to share information easily. By collaborating

with one another, you can build on individual successes to improve

learning school-wide.

1:1 Computing can also extend beyond the school environment

to include the community-at-large. This allows you to involve

stakeholders from every interest group — educators, parents,

business leaders, elected officials — in the educational planning

strategy. By helping to plan and implement a Dell 1:1 Computing

solution, everyone works together toward a common goal.

Making the Grade.We have successfully implemented our 1:1 Computing solutions throughoutschools and districts across the nation.Some of these include:

New York City Department of Education

Henrico County, Virginia

Develop a sustainable program.Adopting and implementing new technology can be costly. To bring about educational change,

funding strategies are needed for long-term sustainability. That’s why our 1:1 Computing solution

utilizes cost-saving strategies.

In many instances, state and federal funds have been allocated to technology for network

infrastructure or to acquire computers for a specific content area, such as reading or math skills. We

can help you identify the appropriate grants, including Title I-A, II-D, III, IDEA, and E-Rate, and help

you with strategies as you comply with grant regulations, scheduling procedures, and processes.

In addition, leasing agreements help provide a convenient and flexible solution for schools to

purchase the technology they need. This can help you manage your IT budget, including costs for

hardware, installation, maintenance, and professional development.

Promoting change, advancing education.To help your 1:1 Computing solution operate successfully, we suggest setting objectives

and benchmarks for progress, and appropriately assessing your IT transformation. Dell can help

you develop appropriate timelines and metrics that align with your needs and education goals.

And we strongly encourage you to maintain open communication about your progress —

communicate with your fellow educators, your students, and your community. You can help

promote this transformation through your school’s website, open houses, newsletters, local

newspapers, and community forums.

“Technology is just the tool. My goal first and foremost is student achievement…I watch these students, and I’m thrilled.”

— Joe Graves, Superintendent

Mitchell School District

Students in the 21st century live in a multi-media world,

surrounded by numerous technologies. These students need a

learning environment that can effectively hold their attention,

helping them to master necessary skills — and become lifelong

learners and technology users.

With Dell 1:1 Computing, you can get solutions that help you

go beyond traditional lesson plans, textbooks, and assignments.

We can give you the comprehensive resources you need to utilize

technology in order to develop integrated lesson plans that equip

your students with essential skills for life in the 21st century.

This includes helping enhance critical thinking and problem-solving

skills, oral and written communication skills, collaboration skills,

fostering creativity and learning exploration, and information

literacy and global awareness.

Create lessons that inspire.As you know, an approach that works for one student may

not necessarily work for another. This same principle is true

for technology solutions in the classroom. Through 1:1 Computing,

we can give you access to innovative, customizable curriculum

technologies and solutions that help transform the way you

create and teach lessons.

BEYONDTRADITIONAL.Solutions for a fully integrated curriculum.

To learn more, call 1-866-652-0165 or visit www.dell.com/k12/1to1

We can help you with strategies that allow

you to adjust lessons and tailor instruction to

individual learning styles, such as auditory, visual,

and kinesthetic. This can help keep students

interested in learning and individualize instruction.

It can equip them with essential skills for tomorrow,

from critical thinking and problem solving to

strategies for communication and collaboration.

Access to rich, relevant resources.An important first step in this process is

showing educators how to find rich, relevant

resources that bring subject matter to life. We can

provide templates, support materials, even mentors

to show educators how to utilize digital content

throughout their curriculums. The use of websites,

email, databases, and educational software can

enrich lessons and help create dynamic learning

environments. In addition, streaming video, video

conferencing, and interactive learning games can be

used to engage students and increase collaboration.

Our experience working with school districts across

the country helps us share best practices from

educators who are innovative in the classroom.

Leveraging best practices such as video,

interactive experiences, and threaded discussions,

our professional development courses can help

encourage educators to use technology effectively.

As a result, this can help build collaborative

environments for high-quality solutions to problems,

create settings where new methods and materials

can be examined and tested, as well as foster

teamwork and promote success.

In addition, we offer strategies that make

collecting and utilizing digital content easy. We

can help you manage digital content, locate

sources of digital content, and, ultimately, develop

more individualized and customized instruction.

“Our teachers are deserving of the best teaching tools that we can provide them. These computers have placed a world of information in our teachers’ hands…the technology will open new avenues of learning in our classrooms.”

— Fred Sanderson, Superintendent

Cobb County Public Schools

For your students to experience the full benefits of a technology-enriched learning environment, they need reliable,

hard-working systems that can help keep them engaged and learning. In short, they need technology that works.

secure, wireless network for virtually anywhere

access* to essential information such as lesson

plans, assignments, and resources. We can help

during the entire process, including recommendations

for wireless access point locations, electrical power

delivery, providing wireless devices, security features,

and how to efficiently install in your network.

It’s estimated that the next generation may possibly have six to

ten jobs over a lifetime. These jobs may require strong collaboration,

flexibility, and the willingness to keep learning and building skills.

This is why encouraging students to use innovative technology tools

for problem solving and communication can be critical for developing

the foundation for future knowledge. Ultimately, this is what our

comprehensive 1:1 Computing solution is all about.

By partnering with schools like yours to create technology-

enriched learning environments, Dell can help increase community

participation in education, help improve the way educators utilize

classroom technology, help administrators make effective, data-driven

decisions, and, the most important endeavor of all, help students go
