P. S. 10 looking forward...Ongoing professional development
Loaner iPad 1 devices - managed via Configurator
In process:
iPad 2 upgrade for all staff
not “new” - 16 GB iPad 2 @ $399 is a no brainer for us - “new” iPad doesn’t offer enough to disregard savings
existing iPad 1s recycled to Kindergarten
2 iPads per class for student use
Managment flexibility - via Configurator or teacher controlled

The process...
Who, What, When, Where, Why, How...
(...and not necessarily in that order...)
Why do you want iPads?
Truly ask yourself that question.... why?
To keep up with the trend?
To invest in current technology?
Because they’re cool?
Because someone told you to?
Answer that question and it’ll be easier to answer the...
What will you use them for?
This will help you align and clarify your goal
teacher use?
student use?
both teacher and student?
What are the tasks the iPads will undertake?
What do you hope to achieve with the iPads?
When...?
When to begin, assess, evaluate, reflect...?
What is your timeline?
In a week we will...
In a month we will be...
By the end of the year we will be...
Next year we will start off...
A timeline isn’t just for starting & stopping but should include ongoing benchmarks to judge progress, success & next steps...
Who is involved?Lock down all the players...
Who is the point person for the initiative?
Who orders, inventories, issues, etc...?
Who provides training?
Who are the users?
Who approves the purchases, designs the curriculum, issues the devices to users, provides training, provides tech support, uses them daily... might be many, might be one. Name names...
Where...?
Where is this happening?
Identify necessary facilities...
Secure storage
Location to accept, prep, inventory & issue
Professional development site (real or virtual)
Use - library, lab, classrooms, carts...
Where isn’t just about where they’ll be used, it’s about where they’ll be stored when not in use, where staff will meet for PD, where tech support & updates will occur...
How...?
How...? The greatest of all
How will this happen?
Start-up funds - $$$
On-going funding - $$$
Organizing purchase, delivery, issuing, PD, etc
Staff buy-in: excited for use, excited for toy, annoyed at “additional responsibility”...?
You have figured the easy parts, now, how will you make it happen? How will you bring your plan to reality?
Our answers...Why - mobility, access, paper work
What - conferring & assessing, collaboration, communication
When - 9/10 test a few, 1/11 20 iPads to gr. 3-5, 6/11 all classroom teachers, 11/11 clusters (Art, Music), 5/12 related service providers
Who - tech, admin, classroom teachers, coaches (Lit & Math), Science students, clusters...
Where - computer lab for prep & PD, classroom teachers, cart for Science students
How - NYSTL, Reso-A, any available funds (enthusiastic administration), build interest & excitement for staff buy-in through methodical & effective roll out and professional development
PS 10 iPads, virtually speaking...http://ps10ipads.wikispaces.com
Implementing your iPads...
Be smart, plan well, train effectively, support continually, and always spend wisely....
(...and pretty much in that order...)
To steal a “take-away” or two...
