Not that you need it... he has the video recorded if you want it.
But i'll be damned if i'm not going to send this out after getting my brain frazzled from listening, taking notes, watching my brother watch videos of cats jumping head-first into a desk and talking on the chat at the same time.
Here it is, in very very raw format:
TCO
1. Grant, PTA money
Buying software or hardware
Price quote: from sellers
TCO not usually considered
'Piece of cost'
Other costs: 'soft' costs --> annual licensing,
maintenance, operation (M and O)
E.g. 15%-20% normally for annual costs
If cost $100,000 first year
Next year, fee is $20,000 for annual license
E.g. Servers for internet. Installing, troubleshoot,
OS patches or uprgrades, driver installments,
updates, adware, anti-virus
E.g. Electrical costs, tables, data jacks, chairs,
labs, routers, etc
2. M an O
Based on enrollment
M an O overide --> more money than just based on
enrollment (set by State).
Can increase to 10% more.
E.g. PV District spend about $20,000(?) per year
just to be able to use Microsoft Word (Office)
3. Professional development
Training teachers.
Hard to find time to train teachers.
E.g. $3.2 million spent on Mac Books. 6 hours on
training. Difficult to find the time.
(!) Andrea pointed out that her district required
training before ever handing over the laptops.
No real budget for training teachers for technology.
At least, not effectively.
(!) Reno brought up a question about 'power user'
training. This just means teachers teaching
teachers.
4. TCO estimate
Multiply a 2.0 - 2.5 multiplier on your vendor cost.
This will usually project for 5 years-ish.
Tech. changes significantly every 5 years or so.
(!) Reno asked about what the school board does about
this. Prof. Billings answers that school boards
generally don't like talking about it. But it NEEDS
TO BE BROUGHT UP.
5. Costs
What are you getting rid of to get the tech?
Use per day.
Need to sustain it. Sustainability.
6. Consortium of School Network
Non-profit that brought together how much tech really
costs.
classroomtco.cosn.org
Estimates the value of investment
7. ISTE
sorry, i missed out on this and he didn't really
answer, but I'm sure you can figure it out
by googling it. Go technology.
Have a good Thanksgiving.
Assignments
• Day 1
Read the Horizon Report (2008).
Post a blog on what technological trend you feel will become most prevalent in K12 learning within 5 years and why.
(see Rules of Engagement)
• Day 2
Please watch both of the Sir Ken Robinson videos linked below. Then post two slides on the shared presentation: 1) one way schools kill creativity, and 2) one way schools foster creativity.
Do schools kill creativity?
Creatively Speaking
• Day 4
Assignment 1 - Wikipedia - see post below.
Assignment 2 - Colliding Forces - see post below.
• Day 5 and Day 6
Live Broadcast - post a response to the blog below on Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
• Day 7 and Day 8 - Surprise.....
Your assignment is optional - you will receive credit whether you email me yes or no, but you do have to email me. I do not believe in zeros, nor in failure as an option. However, you get what you put in, so I encourage you to say yes....;-)
If you email me yes, here's what you are committing to. Give me your email address at work, what grade level or content area you teach, whether you are an administrator, whatever. What school you are at and a short resume/introduction of yourself. I will leave your name and contact anonymous until I find another teacher/educator/administrator in PVUSD who might like to work with you on REACH, and in turn you with them. I will make an intitial email introduction of each of you to the other - from there, you are on your own to put into practice the communication, collaboration and creativity of 21st century teaching and learning, using information technology to bridge time and space constraints.
REACH (Real Experiences Advancing Childhood Humanities) is an initiative our district is implementing with other educators/administrators outside of our walls. We are connecting students/teachers/administrators, from differing classrooms, differing schools, cities, states, countries, using technology to communicate/collaborate/create in whatever ways possible and appropriate to postively impact student learning - totally up to you and your PVUSD counterpart on what you think would be useful - how big, how small, how deep, how thin, is up to you.
It does not have to be high tech, with tons of technology - in fact, the technology is not the point - learning with and about others is, being creative and taking a risk is the experience. One simple internet connection and a Google account can do wonders (you should now know that), to connect students, teachers, administrators, whatever. I suspect your kids, your school will be richer for the adventure and you will cross into something I believe is profound and necessary in education - REACH'ing beyond the walls......
So, if you want to REACH, give me the details and I will personally try to connect you with an appropriate counterpart. Then, you have the opportunity to extend your coursework learning into actual practice - the point of taking a class. Email me yay with details, or nay. What I wish for you is to REACH beyond this ASU class, throw optimism into the wind and see what emerges in your participatory networking experience.
