9. Current Trends in Hardware and Infrastructure

10. Tablets • According to a report releases on 1/7/2013 by NPD DisplaySearch, tablet sales will outpace notebooks in 2013 • In July the same firm forecasted this occurring in 2016 • Tablets coupled with a projection device may replace smart boards • While Apple and Android clearly dominate the market, they fail to bring the manageability we’ve grown accustom to with Windows machines

11. Smartphones • The most ubiquitous portable device • Superior portability at the expense of some usability due to screen size • Most apps available for tablets are also available for smartphones but sometimes with minor functionality losses

12. Laptops and Desktops • Laptops are now barley considered portable compared to tablets and smartphones • Laptops and desktops are still king when it comes to “producing” rather than consuming • Some 1:1 curriculum leverages tablets and smartphones for research and data acquisition but laptops and desktops for collating everything into a deliverable product

13. Wireless access • WiFi access is becoming omnipresent in everyday life • Virtually every portable device connects via Wifi • Many connect to 3G/4G wireless data networks as well • Many people are “connected” with access to Internet based resources at all times • Capacity is overtaking coverage as the biggest challenge

14. Security Software • As users shift to tablets and smartphones for computing, malware will follow • Many traditional defenses like keeping software updated across the organization, ensuring secure configurations, etc are significantly more challenging with mobile devices. • The move to the “Cloud” has shifted much of the responsibilities to external entities

15. The Cloud • There are many different definitions but the cloud is not much more than hosted services • While in most situations these services are provided by a 3rd party, private clouds are popular as well • In hosted environments, your data is no longer isolated within your organization • The shift to the cloud brings with it applications that leverage the increased accessibility to the data to enhance collaborative functionality • It simplifies many IT responsibilities but places increased reliance on WAN and Internet performance and availability

16. Everything is changing What’s your plan?

17. Meeting Definitions 1 to 1 Computing: In the context of this meeting, “One-to-One" (1:1) is the practice of leveraging technology for curricular use in which each student uses a device that is dedicated to his/her use. The device may or may not be district provided. The key element is that there is one device for every student. Bring Your Own Device (BYOD):In the context of this meeting, “Bring Your Own Device” is the practice of leveraging teacher or student owned and managed devices for curricular use. Often this is done to achieve a one-to-one environment.
