The Digital Transformation Infrastructure committee in collaboration with and input from IT, IS, SS and school stakeholders including principals, teachers and support staff, created a matrix of requirements and desired functionality for student one to one devices. Multiple device platforms (Windows, Chrome, iOS) were aligned against various requirements including total cost of ownership, device management and support, application and content support and other educational needs for the FCPS enterprise. Based on the analysis and detailed evaluation the Windows platform is recommended as the student device for the division-wide one to one initiative for the following reasons:

The Windows platform provides the most flexibility and can do everything the Chrome platform does and more (see graphic below): Windows devices can access the greatest number of instructional applications and content. Applications are delivered in one of three ways; installed locally and through the base image (see list on page 6) , via App-V (see list on page 3) or on the web. Windows devices are the only ones that can access applications in each of these scenarios. The Windows platform provides several web browser options allowing for broader web application compatibility and provides the greatest alignment with vendor application and website client recommendations (e.g. Flash and Java required for online textbooks and/or SOL testing).

The Windows device has comparable total cost of ownership to other platforms: The windows devices have an expected life span of 4 years which is longer than the other platforms. The pro-rated cost per year is significantly less than the iOS platform and in line with the Chrome platform.

Windows devices are easier to manage, especially in large deployments: The network infrastructure, device deployment, device management, account management and support processes are already well established for the Windows platform and can be further scaled to accommodate one-to-one student devices. Other platforms add complexity to the device management infrastructure and would require additional resources to support and scale while the existing Windows platform and devices would also need to be maintained and supported.

The Windows platform has the most flexibility for off-line use by students: Not all students have internet access off-campus. With the windows platform, content can be created or downloaded and accessed off-line with local applications on the computer.

The Windows device, like the other devices is quick to turn on: Initial logon from a powered off state takes under 60 seconds on the current student Windows device. This would be required just one time at the start of the school day. For the remainder of the day, the device like the other platforms is instant on.

Based on all these considerations, the infrastructure committee believes the Windows platform is the best selection and meets the most requirements for the one to one device for the FCPS digital transformation. Note that Apple iPad devices currently supported and in use in many schools could continue to be an option for supporting specific and unique student requirements (e.g. special education, early childhood).

1 The iPad Air 2 64 GB is the recommended model for education specific features of the upcoming iOS 9.3 release (Classroom, Managed Accounts – see http://apple.co/1mTlVIK). This would require an MDM and significant FCPS investment in cost and time for integration and support. 2 The “FIT” score assigns 2 points for green, 1 for yellow, 0 for red (& gray) and weights the score: Finance 25%, Instruction 50%, Technology 25%. 3 Touch Models are available at additional cost. 4 Ibid. Touch support is not fully supported in the Chrome OS. 5 Some Chrome Apps support offline, see http://bit.ly/1v4Bi3y for details. For use of Google Drive offline, see http://bit.ly/1Z1oLJs 6 Wireless display from Chromebook with Mirroring360 from laptop connected to a projector. Chromecast is not supported on FCPS wireless. 7 Wireless display using Mirroring360 installed on a Teacher laptop connected to a projector from iPad. 8 There is a higher occurrence of privacy concerns in Chromebook deployments. See http://bit.ly/22mOrSH and http://bit.ly/1UzXflA 9 Some products have comparable version e.g. Wixie or Webspriaration which often require account management. 10 Given that FCPS does not have a single source for all approved instructional content, this is difficult to evaluate 11 “Approved” Instructional content currently includes at least 479 iPad apps witch would not be compatible with Windows or Chromebooks. 12 Any textbooks requiring Java will not be usable on Chromebooks. 13 Any textbooks requiring Java or Flash will not be usable on iPads. 14 As of 3/17/16 approximately 50% of the library databases were tested by IT and confirmed to work on Chromebook and iPad. 15 See http://bit.ly/1UlkUWP and http://bit.ly/LUZXlC. 16 The iPad app does not support building blocks (e.g. voice thread) and provides only a subset of the browser features. 17 An eCart “resource” can be a file of nearly any type, or any URL on the Internet so it is not possible to say with any certainty. 18 Virginia DOE expects to use TestNav 8 in SY 17 for Grades 3-5 SOLs, TestNav 8 is compatible with managed Chromebooks. 19 Ibid. TestNav 8 is compatible with managed iPads. Managed iPads would require FCPS to purchase and support an MDM. 20 Google Apps functionality on iPad will depend on specific apps and is less than provided on Chromebooks or the Windows Chrome browser. 21 For an example of a crosswalk of windows to Chromebook applications, see http://bit.ly/1powbKg 22 Microsoft Office plug-ins include MathType, Responseware and a variety of Assistive Technology tools. 23 Includes an Intel Celeron processor. Non-Intel Chromebooks are not recommended due to performance and compatibility issues. 24 Client license only some MDM systems may require additional server hardware or licensing costs. 25 AppleCare+ for iPad adds up to two incidents of accidental damage coverage, each subject to a $49 service fee. 26 Includes case, mouse and extra power adapter for the Windows laptop and Chromebook, includes case, keyboard, and power adapter for iPad. 27 Depending on if any changes are required to fcpsschool.net domain structure (not recommended). 28 Depending on any changes that would impact the complexity of the fcpsschool.net domain (not recommended). 29 FCPS has encountered problems with the current filtering option (Securly) at some Wi-Fi “Hot Spots” (e.g. McDonald’s). 30 Only practical for students that using their own Apple ID, have a recent backup and have less than 5 GB of data. 31 Possible if SD drive can be swapped. 32 For the Dell Chromebook 11, but FCPS may determine that repair is not cost effective.

Access Standards and Best Practices Based on information provided by FCPS families, it is estimated that 13,000 students do not have internet access at home. With the increase of online textbooks, assessments, and resources, FCPS would like to ensure all students have access to the needed technology. While ideally FCPS would provide a laptop with internet access for every student, this is not currently possible due to funding constraints. It is expected that each school works to provide various ways to bridge the access divide in their student population. Work with PTAs, Business Partners, and the community for assistance.

The following best practices are identified for schools to support student access to the internet beyond school hours.

Low Cost Internet for Families: Schools should advertise low cost internet programs from Cox and Comcast to qualifying families a minimum of two times per year.

Expected methods of communication: • Include in elementary take-home folders, Middle School/High School planners, school opening documentation• Back to School Night or hand out fliers (translated fliers are available)• Parent liaisons, school counselors, and social workers should work with qualifying families to provide information• Link on school webpage

Who Qualifies? • Cox – Families who qualify for free meals• Comcast – Families who qualify for free or reduced meals

Community Access Maps:

Schools should advertise the FCPS Community Access Maps that include a list of community internet access sites in each pyramid and the surrounding area. The list identifies a variety of locations including libraries and community, family, and other resource centers that are available. Schools should communicate this to all families a minimum of two times per year.

Expected methods of communication: • Include in elementary take-home folders, Middle School/High School planners, school opening documentation• Mention and distribute at Back to School Night• Hand out fliers or hang posters in school • Parent liaisons, school counselors, and social workers should work with families to provide information

Public Libraries and Computer Club Houses:

Schools should advertise the Fairfax County Public Libraries and Computer Clubhouses in their area a minimum of two times per year.

Expected methods of communication: • Include in elementary take-home folders, Middle School/High School planners, school opening documentation• Mention at Back to School Night• Parent liaisons, school counselors, and social workers should work families to provide information• Make sure parents know about BYOD and how it helps

Ecosystem - 5

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD):

All schools are expected to participate in the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program. Schools should aim to have a minimum of 20% of their students participating in BYOD. With 20% of students participating, schools should be able to allocate some existing school inventory for student checkout.

Student Computer Checkout:

All schools are expected to participate in the student computer checkout program. Schools should aim to set aside computers equal to 10% of the number of students without access at home for students to checkout as needed throughout the school year.

MiFi Checkout:

All schools are encouraged to participate in the MiFi checkout program. Schools should aim to have MiFi devices equal to 10% of the number of students without access at home for students to checkout with a computer as needed throughout the school year.

Extended Computer Access Hours for Students:

All schools are encouraged to provide computer access for students to complete homework before or after school hours. Any school staff member can supervise computer time.

Suggested Locations: • Library• Computer lab• Classroom/mobile cart

Minimum recommended hours: • Elementary School – 5 hours per week• Secondary School – 10 hours per week

Need More Information?

Parents should contact their local school for more information about any of these standards. Community members wishing to support these standards should contact their local school for details on individual school needs.

School Support/Best Practices In School Support Plan for 1:1 Computing

To promote optimal instructional value, efficiency, and security the following guidelines and best practices are recommended in the implementation of a student help desk. These guidelines may be adapted to meet the needs and environment of the school. There are variables and unknowns such as volume, logistics and needs which will require alterations as needed.

1. Times of operation: The greatest need for student help desk support will be before and after school.

a. Morning session: 7:20-7:50 am. The morning session will allow 30 minutes for support. The session end time sufficient for students to arrive at first block of class on time.

b. Lunch session: This session will allow for support during student lunch times and for issues that arise during the morning.

2. Help desk location: The following operations should be located in the library to provide optimal efficiency and security of equipment:

a. Student help desk

b. Collection and return of student issued laptops

c. Distribution and return of loaner laptops

3. Selection of student assistants: It is important that student assistants provide support that is efficient, responsible, and customer friendly. The following should be considered in selecting student assistants:

a. Assistants may be recruited through computer science courses, teacher/counselor recommendations and electives fairs

b. Assistants should be interviewed and are determined to be mature, trustworthy, and possess good communications and interpersonal skills

c. Assistants should possess basic software application and troubleshooting skills

4. Student assistant functions and training: Nine student assistants are recommended to conduct all aspects of the help desk operations to include initial processing, triage, troubleshooting, and issue reporting. TSSpecs will need to provide follow up training as needed. Student assistants will perform the following basic functions and will require training in these areas:

a. Basic triage, customer service expectations

b. Troubleshooting basic AV, wifi, input devices, power issues

c. Software “How to” support (GAE, FCPS 24-7, etc)

d. Use of RequestIT Form

Ecosystem - 12

5. Issue reporting and tracking: Issues should be recorded for tracking, escalation, resolution, and communication. The input of issues into a system will allow for more efficient escalation to TSSpec and appropriate support partners.

a. Student assistant should enter issue into a RequestIT Form. This form will create a RequestIT incident.

b. A barcode scanner is used to enter the student issued laptop into the RequestIT Form.

c. The RequestIT Form should be printable and will be placed inside laptop.

d. RequestIT can email the student upon resolution of incident. This email will instruct student to return loaner to and retrieve student issued laptop from library.

6. Collection of student issued laptops and distribution of loaner: Equipment must be collected and distributed only by a staff member to ensure security of equipment. Assistance from library staff will ensure proper procedures in collection and distribution of equipment.

a. Student will give laptop and RequestIT Form ticket to librarian

b. Librarian will check ticket to verify that loaner should be issued

c. Loaner laptops are in Symphony

d. Librarian uses Symphony to record collected student laptop asset ID and to issue loaner

e. Librarian creates a printed receipt from Symphony give to student

f. Librarian gives receipt and loaner laptop to student

g. Librarian places student issued laptop in a pile for collection by TSSpec

7. Return of student issued laptops and loaner: Equipment must be collected and distributed only by a staff member to ensure security of equipment. Assistance from library staff will ensure proper procedures in collection and distribution of equipment.

a. TSSpecs or student assistants will send an email to student upon resolution of issue

b. Students may retrieve laptop and return loaner during lunch and after school

c. Librarian uses printed RequestIT Form with TSSpec resolution notes to verify resolution of issue

d. Librarian returns laptop to student and checks in loaner

Ecosystem - 13

8. TSSpec tasks: TSSpecs will have a role in the overall operations of a student help desk. Oversight by TSSpecs will increase efficiency, provide security, and meet the needs of students.

a. TSSpec needs to assess efficiency and productivity of the help desk to determine needs associated with number of assistants, tasks, and logistics.

b. TSSpec provides support at help desk for account issues that can be quickly resolved in Active Directory (group memberships, APP-V groups, etc)

c. TSSpec provides oversight of student help desk operations and personnel

d. TSSpec resolves or escalates issues that cannot be resolved during help desk time

e. TSSpec writes “Resolved” on printed RequestIT ticket placed inside laptop.

9. Miscellaneous assumptions: TSSpecs will need to work with the administrative staff in addressing the following considerations:

a. Closing of help desk at end of session to ensure students get to class on time: Students whose issues have not been addressed and submitted to RequestIT at the closing of the help desk session should be directed to return to the next help desk session.

b. Number of laptops to be used as loaners: 1-2% of the total number of student issued laptops will be available as loaners.

c. A staff member will need to be assigned to the help desk to assist students with the password reset utility.

d. Supervisory backup during TSSpec absence: Schools will identify a staff member to provide supervision of the student help desk in the absence of the TSSpec.

e. Student assistant availability: The number of students available during each session will be determined by needs and school environment.

f. Students opting out from being issued a laptop: Laptops will be distributed to and kept in the classrooms of students who opt out from being issued a laptop. Teachers of these students will provide a laptop during class as needed for instruction.
