Ideas for engaging teachers:

• After a year, send the survey to teachers again but shorten some of the questions
• Ask for parts of faculty meetings and partner with teachers to showcase projects
• Consider tech support as professional development - when possible
  • Have the teacher step through the solution and use the keyboard
  • Followup later to see how things went after a support call

Ideas for supporting the program

• All ideas, comments and complaints have merit - what is underlying? How can it be addressed?
• Consider availability of support for students
  • Schools often ensure that before school, recess, lunch and after school always have someone in a known location to help students
• Consider your procedures and methods for the following
  • Loaning laptops - tracking and getting back
  • Loaning batteries, chargers - tracking/returning
  • Damage reporting and control
• Will you have students help support the program?
  • Much success from other schools
    • View as a learning experience for students - not to solve tech support resource issues
      • Students are willing but not available
      • Students can never replace an employee
