Hey there, fellow tech directors! We know that launching and managing a 1:1 device program can feel like an uphill battle. Whether you’re just starting out, looking to optimize an existing program, or a new tech director in need of some guidance, our 1:1 Program Consulting service is here to make your life easier. At Manage1to1, we’ve walked in your shoes and understand the challenges you face.
Why Choose Us?
Our team is made up of former tech directors, network engineers, and K-12 school staff. We bring firsthand experience and a deep understanding of the nitty-gritty involved in running a successful 1:1 program. Unlike other companies, we know what works in a school setting because we’ve been there ourselves.
Our Proven Track Record:
We’re passionate about what we do and have a proven record of successful 1:1 deployments. Since the 2008-2009 school year, we’ve managed ground-up deployments for over 20 districts. We’ve also revamped existing programs as we’ve joined new schools, ensuring they meet the evolving needs of students and staff.
Data-Driven Decisions:
In today’s tech-driven educational landscape, making informed, data-driven decisions is crucial. With access to data from over 1000 school districts, we provide actionable insights and best practices tailored to your specific needs. We have access to datapoints for a large array of districts. Our experience spans schools ranging from 300 students to over 50,000 students. For example, by analyzing data trends, we helped a district realize their initial device loaner allocation wasn’t meeting student needs. We recommended a reallocation resources based upon data from data from like-sized/demographic districts, leading to better student engagement and satisfaction.
Customized Solutions:
We understand that every school district is unique. Our consulting services are tailored to meet your specific goals and challenges, ensuring that your 1:1 program is set up for success from the start. In one district, we created a phased rollout plan with comprehensive training for teachers and IT staff, resulting in a smooth integration of technology into the classroom.
Comprehensive Support:
From initial planning and device selection to deployment and ongoing management, we’re with you every step of the way. Our team ensures a smooth and efficient process, so you’re never left hanging. For example, in another district, we provided hands-on support during deployment, making sure every device was configured correctly and that teachers felt comfortable using the new technology from day one. We’ve worked with a variety of devices, including iPads, Chromebooks, Netbooks, Windows Laptops, and MacBooks, ensuring that your technology fits your specific needs. (Sidenote: This is a passionate discussion topic with a variety of opinions. Each district needs to know WHAT they want to do with their deployment before picking a device…..or you’ll be replacing devices and changing gears pretty quickly. Or going bald…it’s one or the other, well sometimes both).
Passionate and Experienced Team:
Our team’s passion for education technology drives us to go above and beyond. We’re dedicated to helping you create a 1:1 program that enhances learning and improves student outcomes. Our commitment was evident in a district where we ensured every student had access to a device despite budget constraints, finding creative funding solutions and optimizing resources.
