The Need - Devices Are Underutilized In Class

• 54%* of US K12 students have a school purchased device. • 40.5% year-over-year growth. • $4.7B total 2015 IT spending.

Districts have very little usage information

• Early adopter teachers devise ways to integrate technology into the classroom. • Time spent to curate apps is extensive. • Most tools and apps provide no classroom management features.

Devices are often not used in the classroom

Districts need to show ROI

• Apps don’t collect student data. • Without alignment to learning objectives, it is difficult to gage curriculum

effectiveness, students progress and other fundamental metrics.

• Devices are purchased largely with “one time” funding. • Devices have a limited shelf-life. • Data on usage and impact is needed to support additional funding.

Curriculum Channel

Most popular digital citizenship curriculum

Exploros allows students to be social digital citizens during

classroom learning

Available on Chrome Store

“I love that all students get a voice in contributing to the lesson. When we traditionally teach this content, a student’s voice is heard if they are willing to raise their hand and share, but everyone was engaged in the process when they could digitally collaborate.”

Erin Cárcamo, Media Specialist and Department Co-Chair, Minnetonka Public Schools

Example: Every 1:1 classroom needs to teach digital citizenship (by law). Common Sense Education makes the most popular curriculum. Exploros brings it to life for 1:1 and can make it available directly within the Chrome Store. Google will also promote it through its Educator Network.

3 IMPLEMENTATION 1:1 classroom over time

STEP

Typically classrooms are transformed to 1:1 over a 3-4 year period.

Currently, districts spend $180 per student annually on curriculum related materials. With self-publishing, OER and improved visibility through data, these costs can be reduced or optimized significantly.

Per Student Savings

• Exploros drives efficiencies in 1:1 classrooms by reducing instructional materials spend. Districts can self-publish, use OER based curriculum and only pay for actual usage.

• Exploros also enables significant savings on assessment, PD, data and IT support by streamlining district technology needs.

• Exploros can save the district money from the outset. In year 3, a district can pay for device refresh from the operating budget, which can accelerate 1:1 adoption, and increase savings.
