However, there are 3 key considerations for successfully implementing K-12 1
to 1 Programs:

1. Internet & WiFi Configurations

When schools are configuring their networks to support a one-to-one program, IT teams need to delve deep into their current infrastructure to understand what needs to be changed.

If your infrastructure cannot handle the lift of a one-to-one device program, your school may want to invest in assessing and refreshing its network.

2. Preparing Teachers Properly

It’s not enough to give teachers a stack of devices and ask them to put them into the curriculum.
You have to take a moment to get to know the faculty you’re dealing with.

Vanguard Computers recommends that schools who are looking to successfully plan a training program should give teachers plenty of time to work with the tech, stick with a few specific initiatives and have a clear vision educators will be able to follow.

3. Device Use Outside of the Classroom

It’s somewhat easy for schools to keep a watchful eye on device use and management when students are in class, but what happens when students take their devices home?

Schools need to consider issues including insurance and how students will get onto the internet to do their work.

The issue of internet access is especially important. The “homework gap,” a widening split in academic success between students who have internet access at home and students, usually from low-income households, who do not, is a pervasive issue among K–12 school districts interested in one-to-one device initiatives.

It’s also important for schools to create rules for how students should be using their devices when they are not on school property. Who’s responsible for its damage? Are you monitoring what the students are doing at home? Are you filtering what they are able to access on that device no matter where they got it? Or is it when they are at home, it’s left up to the parents?”

Learning from schools who have already successfully rolled out a device program or bringing in a third party as an adviser can be extremely helpful.
