Rollout

I am thinking this would be where we would list issues such as getting the netbooks numbered, decisions on student email accounts, etc.

Questions:
 * 1) How will the netbooks be numbered?
 * 2) Is it wise to assign a number to each student so that they only work on that machine? If so, should we be keeping records on this throughout the pilot? **(Kim) Numbers on netbooks and cart working very well.**
 * 3) Are we going to come up with a "pilot roll out" explanation for the older students to inform them about the program before they start working on the netbooks?
 * 4) What is the most effective desk arrangement for a 1:1 secondary classroom? **(Kim) I have replaced my desks with tables and chairs. At this point I am using 7 tables with 4 chairs each and one table with 2 chairs (which will take care of my two biggest classes, 30 students each). I am trying to do something similar to the Steelcase LearnLab but without the four projectors it is not exactly the same :) I would love to have chairs that swivel like the ones in the computer labs! UPDATE ON SEATING: I really like the tables. Although a bit difficult from a classroom management perspective (chatting) it allows the students to collaborate very easily. They seem to have a much easier time working together if they are sharing a table as opposed to having separate desks. When working with only one netbook per table or a netbook per student, this arrangement seems to work very well.**
