During the month of June, OIIT was able to successfully exchange approximately 3400 laptops and give BPS teachers brand new Macbook computers to kick off the second version of the Laptops for Learning Program. Laptops for Learning provides a state-of-the art dual platform Macbook to classroom teachers. By exchanging the laptops in June, teachers were able to take the new computers home over the summer to use while they attend professional development and prepare for the upcoming school year. Teachers were also given an introductory overview of the new Student Information System that will be implemented throughout the district during the 2011-2012 school year.
The June rollout was truly a team effort as all employees of the Office of Instructional and Information Technology took part in the laptop exchange sessions along with interns from TechBoston.
If you are newly eligible for a laptop or you missed the June exchange, sessions will be scheduled at the end of August. Please go to MyLearning Plan to sign up for sessions after they are posted. If you have any questions about eligibility or laptop sessions, please call the OIIT Service Desk at 635-9200.
