John Dewey (1916)
“If we teach today as we taught yesterday, we rob our children of tomorrow”

Don’t let this be you…
“We’re ready to begin the
next phase of keeping things exactly the way
they are.”

Traditional learning environment
Teacher-centered instruction
Single-sense stimulation
Single-path progression
Single media
Isolated work
Information delivery
Passive learning
Factual, knowledge-based
Reactive response
Isolated, artificial context
Digital natives’ preference for a learning environment
Student-centered learning
Multi-sensory stimulation
Multi-path progression
Multimedia
Collaborative work
Information exchange
Active/inquiry-based learning
Critical thinking and informed decision-making
Proactive/planned action
Authentic, real-world context
7
Solving this requires us to embrace three trends in education
Secure content management
Full productivity platform
Prioritized child safety
Fluid teaching
environment
Immersive learning experience
Shift to Digital Learning Improving Student Outcomes
Delivering a Secure & Safe Learning Environment

Roadmap: Starting PointOriginal demand: Collaboration
10
• Project-based learning, with a focus on college and career readiness, collaboration, and real-world skills.
• Collaboration – kids simultaneously working from home on the same project
• Google Apps
• Forums – kids can reply to a prompt in class & post to forum; teacher can review quickly, kids can review as a class
• Learning Management System: Moodle

Big Question? (Summer 2011)
Why Office 365 vs Google
• With google, when we tested trying to export to .doc or pdf, formatting always seemed to get lost.
• Office 365 integration with Office 2010 was near seamless
Capability
• Google integration didn’t work well
• Google had problems with room reservations (which we want to move to into our calendaring program)
Calendaring
• Existing SharePoint knowledge made transition to O365 cloud environment easier for staff
Training
• The infrastructure team was/is familiar with the Office backend products; SharePoint and Exchange
• Staff and students were already efficient with Office
Support/Adoption
12
• School had only two grades: 6th and 9th • One-to-one laptops, on campus only. (Lenovo x120)• Office 365: Beta• Global Scholar’s Instruction; later switched to Edmodo• Learnings:
• Devices that don’t move with students eat-up instructional time
• Teachers needed scheduled Professional Development time and opportunity to collaborate with each other to shift pedagogy.

• Problem-base learning• Focus on collaboration and ePortfolios• Desire to use ebooks• Learn about device management• Have teachers explore device use in the classroom• Provide equity
Pilot Expansion: Sammamish(2013-14)
16
• Dedicated/take home devices for students• Curriculum department taking an active roll in
project• Student input for selecting devices
Changes for Sammamish Pilot
17
• Dell 3330 had hard drive firmware related issues• Office365 authentication (OneDrive Sync)• Computer bags were bulky• Students sharing files with teachers was
cumbersome. Teachers struggle to track all the different student documents.

One-to-One Pilot Expansion
(2014-15: Intro Windows 8.1 and the Yoga)
26
“…allows students to take better notes, interact more with the lesson, have a permanent and easily accessed storage place for notes (this really works well when you take notes in math classes with the stylus and OneNote), and it is a tool that allows for quicker, more efficient, and less wasteful ways to complete assignments, research, and do projects/reports” ~ Jaap
What are the top reasons students should have their own computer in the classroom?
27
“I prefer windows 8 because it is a lot more navigable compared to Windows 7 and there is also an app hub that makes it easy to find the programs you want.” ~ Declan
“This is because windows 8 allows more opportunity for each student to learn to their full potential. ” ~ Nicole
Do you prefer Windows 7 or Windows 8. If Windows 8, what makes it better?
28
“The devices give students a sort of independence but with files that can be shared, viewed, or worked on by the entire class, it is still a very connected learning environment.” ~ Arlee
“These devices help me take notes in class quicker and they help make my notes cleaner along with more accessible.” ~ Sophia
How do the devices help you be more productive in class?
29
• Device Deployments:• Big Picture 6-12 ~370 units• Sammamish HS: 9-12 ~861 units• Highland MS: 6-8 ~506 units

Deployment with SCCM
• All devices use UEFI by default (Venue and Lenovo had options)• Changed Task Sequences for UEFI partitions• Changed PXE boot environment to IP Helpers from DHCP Options• Venue and Surface had one USB port so USB hub is required if booting off of USB
Key• Import USB Ethernet adapter drivers
• First had to choose a good USB Ethernet adapter• After Imaging with USB Ethernet 2nd device shows up as previous imaged
device(MAC Address)• We had to create some separate group policies for the Windows 8.1 devices and
apply WMI filters.• IE 10/11 require proxies to be set different with Group Policy preferences
38
• ClassPolicy: Device control in the classroom; Just starting pilot
• Common Sense Media: Safety/Security Training• IT Academy: Microsoft online training and
