 * Gearing up for the distribution of netbooks**
 * How will the netbooks be distributed?
 * All netbooks and powercords will be brought to the library for "packaging" and checking out. Mousesquad will help with putting the netbooks in the bags and attaching the velcro to secure the netbooks. An extra set of ID cards will be ordered to attach one to the netbook bag. A name tag will be attached initially while the ID cards come in.
 * If you do not have a library tech, who will be responsible for ensuring the netbooks are checked out via Destiny? Tech teacher and PT library tech will be in charge of this.
 * Where will the netbooks be distributed? In the library, like textbooks.
 * Will a copy of student IDs be placed in the bags? How will this happen? (Will copies of student ID's be ordered from the company?) Name tags will be created initially for each bag/student. We will order extra IDs from LifeTouch.
 * Who will place the netbooks and power cords in the computer bags for distribution (to be delivered to your site on date TBD)? Students in the Mouse Squad will be assigned to do this.
 * Will your site be putting the power cords in Destiny? (This can be done via the barcode already on them.) Yes.
 * What netbooks will you be using as loaner netbooks (w/ loaner written on them) for students to use if their netbooks are being repaired? Where will these be housed? After inventorying we will determine how many loaners will be available. These will be housed in the library. Additionally, students may use the Thin Clients located in the LOGO classrooms.
 * Where will you be getting the netbooks for rooms where the teacher teaches 7th or 8th grade sections (and the 6th graders will be taking the class set home)? We will inventory netbooks and redistribute them. IT will be contacted for reconfiguration.

**Home/School Connection**
 * When will you have parent nights? How many will you have? We will hold 2-3 parent meetings within the first few weeks of September.


 * When will parents sign the netbook loan agreements? Parents will sign agreements at the parent meetings.
 * How will you introduce Parent Connect/Student Connect? We will train parents at the LOGO parent meetings. The Tech teacher and the Site Tech will be in charge of this.
 * What is your plan for students whose parents do not want the responsibility of a netbook? Students will be issued a netbook for use only at school. Administrators will meet with the parent to answer questions they may have to clarify and make an informed decision.

**Procedures**
 * What is the process for having a netbook repaired? What role does Mouse Squad play? The Tech teacher/MouseSquad will handle the repair tickets using an email account.
 * Will Mouse Squad or your whole site be utilizing the in-house help ticket creation tool? Mouse Squad will be creating a help ticket for IT Dept.
 * What do students do during lunch, PE, etc. with netbooks? Students will use passing period to bring their bags to the next period classroom or the locker room. Teachers will lock their rooms before going to lunch.
 * How will your classrooms accommodate charging stations (6 powerstrips per room will be provided)? Seating configurations will be rearranged to ensure safety. BSS will order power strip covers for the floor if teachers need them.

**Training and Professional Development**
 * What does PD look like for your LOGO teachers (PBL, backwards design, PD separate from other staff members? Short days? by Content? How often?) Is PD for your LOGO teachers on your yearly calendar? Ongoing district PD will be provided. The school will ensure teacher attendance. Additionally, minimum-day Wednesdays have been set aside to allow for teacher continuing support.
 * How will your site set up the expectations for netbook use with students? We will use a video (obtained from iMiddle) to share expectations with our students. Multiple opportunities to do this: parent meetings, assemblies, and classroom presentations by LOGO teachers.
 * How will you ensure that your site is meeting the requirements of the law that pertains to internet safety, cyberbullying, and copyright? How will teachers infuse this into their curriculum. (Kick-off assembly? Suggested curriculum?) For more info see [] (enrollment key = i21teacher) All students/parents will review & sign the district's internet use agreement. Teachers will review expectations in the classroom. Assemblies addressing cyberbullying (SafetyNet & Kaiser Permanente) will be done throughout the year.
 * How will students be trained to switch from 3G to wireless? LOGO teachers will address this.
 * How will students be trained on printing procedures? (Choosing the correct printer and only hitting print once) LOGO teachers will address this in the classrooms.
 * How will teachers be trained to use Zangle rosters with Lanschool? Will Mouse Squad help with keeping the Lanschool lists up to date? Teachers will be surveyed as to who has received this training. If not, they will be asked to attend the district training, including the Tech teacher. The Tech teacher will be in charge of training the Mouse Squad.
