iPad (One to One)

• Expensive?– Schools & Students responsibility.• $500 / each (They can buy the apps themselves.)

(Not including Technology Grants)• Avg. Student buys $ 500 – 1,000 /per year

• Avg. School spends $ 7,000 – 15,000 /per student (not including food)

Pencils = Notebooks = Pens = Printer= (ink/paper) Phone Apps = Project Supplies =

Textbooks= Project Supplies= (Art) (Avg. Other)

iPad (One to One)

• Outdated?– It’s already outdated.– That’s OK.– All of your current Tech is also outdated. – But they still function/work. (5 Year lifespan)• If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

Thankfully, It is, in fact, broken.

Administration's Doing Their Part

• NO TEXTBOOKS – – Personal Knowledge, Internet Sources (Wikipedia),

Self-Created iBooks• NO MS OFFICE– Prezi, Open Office, Google Docs– MS Office Certification (outdated)

• Smartboards in High School?– Replace w/ Wacom or iPad, Computer & Projector

• Online Syllabus and Student Handbook

GO DIGITAL!

SAVE $ !!!

Make Money?!• ask parents for donations• Sell off old used textbook/books to public

library’s / other schools

• save USABLE scrap paper– throw out the rest!

Make Money?!• HORDING?!

“Hold the children to a higher level.The same level that you hold yourself to.” - me

Make Money?!• group projects - cost less (one product)• charge other teachers for the use of our supplies - (teachers

rental cart)• Charge students for certain supplies. (Pencils = $0.10)• Raise Funds – – bake sales are lame (and technically illegal now?!)

• Art Gallery – – Charity, Students (50/50)

Make Money?!• Open Mic Night (poetry, music, trivia, stand-up comedy)• If you MUST spend your own money remember that:– 250$ - qualified expenses in tax education deductions

• Student Film Night - (ie: Bad Movie Night - 3 years running once a month - charge 2$ - 500$/year) – MORE THAN doubles my yearly budget.
