We have some tech staff on hand all summer and we hire some summer help (generally former students at home from college for summer) and we go through the following processes.
We create our golden image for staff and student machines and use Deploy…
We don't condition all of them. We identify those that need conditioning (have no charge at all, not even a flashing light) and put them in our battery conditioning station. If any battery is less than 100% it goes into the battery charging stations…
We implemented a Meru wireless network (802.11 a/b/g/n) in the fall of 2008 at our 4 middle schools to support a 1:1 of 2,100+ laptops (500-700 per school). There is no single correct answer to this question, as others have mentioned, but with the l…
We are fully charging all of our 2,100+ batteries and then removing them from the laptop (storing them in the carrying case) over the summer and they will be inserted again when the laptops are distributed.

What do the teachers mean by…
Sounds interesting Mike. Can you give me a little more information about your school and program, and I will see if there are some opportunities here at DE?

Getting Started - 1 to 1 Schools
"irst of all, I must say I am extremely excited to receive these requests. Currently, less than ten percent of schools nationwide have one to one, and I think that is a sad statistic.
