Editor's Notes
The future is coming, so we need to embrace it.
Actually, in most ways its already here. I can prove it.
(Digital Cameras)
(Google Maps)
(Uber, Lyft, etc.)
(DMV.org)
(Doc Cameras)
Nothing to do with scissors and glue (Typewriter and white out)
(Digital homework)
Let’s talk about what’s coming for the future of education.
Because technology is also exacerbating the rift in those that have and those that have not.
We should expect to see sea changes in:
how we approach learning spaces
And how classrooms function.
So that’s NOT what I’m here to talk with you about today.
I’m here to talk about some pragmatic approaches to implementing technology
So that when the big movements in new technology come, we’ll be in position to take advantage of them.
Working smarter more rigorous within your budget.
Managing human resources more effectively
And, ways to be less impacted by the spatial limitations you are presented with.
What this really comes down to is identifying what you need through partnership.
Are your current technology vendors asking you about your needs
Or, are they just taking orders?
The education technology ecosystem is becoming far more complex
Complexity requires collaborative solutions
Your vendors need to better understand your needs and preferences
To build custom solutions to meet your goals
Are they gone after the sale?
Or, are they recommending hardware that has a re-sale value?
Do they provide a guaranteed buy-backs?
One of the statements our CEO makes is that you don’t know how good of a partner you have until something goes wrong…
How many of your technology providers have talked with you about finding the hidden value in your existing hardware
I have yet to visit a school that doesn’t have a store room, labs or sometimes even a barn full of equipment that is outdated and not working for them…
Consider having someone value your existing technology assets. Let them determine:
What can be reconditioned
What can be repaired
What should be retired
Challenge your notion of what ”the right technology” for every use-case.
Its about picking and choosing where to utilize more expensive assets.
Why purchase when there are other options?
Also about extending the life of your assets…
Most of us think the manufacturer’s warranties cover a lot more than they do for a lot longer than they do.
2 quick real world cases
Staff were committed to other projects.
Budget $2.9MM
6 Weeks to complete 2015 portion
WGS: Pull-out all existing machines
AVR: ID obsolete equipment for retirement
WGS: Deliver over 7,200 devices
Chromebooks for grades 3-12
iPads for grades K-2
Install all devices in carts
STS reconditioned >2,600 iPad 2s to be Second-Life Hardware™ with a lifetime warranty
Delivered over 7,200 Chromebooks- asset tagged, schools’ domain assigned, Google management console installed, within wired carts, that just required a single plug-in
STS on-site team remove all existing machines
Through AVR program, repaired some and purchased extra $27,000 in credit to Lodi
This year, we purchased over 9,000 used Chromebooks from Lodi, giving over $200K in credit
Most schools built in the 1940s/50s
Who says that has to be the front of the classroom?
Every situation has different needs…
I spoke with Milo Nieto, Technology Director of Snowline last night…
Milo has had projectors, short-throw projectors, HD TVs, and none of them engaged effectively.
Like an airplane - once everyone is onboard it takes a lot of energy to reach cruising altitude, but once you are there you can throttle back and cruise to your next destination.
