IT Simplification & TransformationMichael Droe

• Michael has been an active member of the preK-Adult education technology community for more than 25 years with 20 of these in information and education technology management. Most recently, he served in the capacity of Chief Technology Officer for the Hacienda La Puente Unified School District, near Los Angeles. His division was responsible for the research, development and deployment of learning and information technologies including networking & communications, software development, facility technologies and educational television.

• During this time, several project partnerships with large and innovative technology corporations served to define and develop innovative technology programs and initiatives for the connected K-14 community. The models established by these programs, including a district-wide broadband network with converged voice, video and data, have been reviewed and adopted both nationally and internationally by other agencies and learning institutions including those from the Michigan State Dept. of Education; and institutions in Sweden, South Africa and New Zealand. • In 1997, Michael was recognized with a Computerworld-Smithsonian award for the visionary use of Information Technology in Academia. A case study of his work in community networking is registered as part of the Permanent Research Collection on the history of Information Technology Innovation at the Smithsonian Institute’s National Museum of American History. Most recently, he was recognized as Administrator of the Year at the 2008 Digital Voice Awards hosted by the Los Angeles County Office of Education for innovative work on a large 1-to-1 student laptop program.

Roundtable Expectations

Our GoalTo facilitate a meaning group discussion around individualized access and personalized learning that is engaging and helpful.

By• Identifying common interests• Keeping a fast pace• Being inclusive and drawing as many people into the

discussion as possible

Please Remember• Address everyone in the group and not just the facilitator.• Keep comments brief and to the point.• That everyone is welcome to share and ask questions.



Discussion TopicsYour questions, interests and/or challenges (pain-points)• Using your scratch pad, please take 1-2 minutes to

brainstorm questions and/or topics of interest.

Going for quantity, not quality…

• When you have a topic or question, write it down and say it aloud.

It’s OK to play off of someone else’s ideas…

• After brainstorming, identify and share your top three (3) topics or questions.



Sample TopicsYour questions, interests and/or challenges (pain-points)• What is the relationship of personalized learning to

personalized access?• How is “1:1” differentiated from Bring-Your-Own-Device

(BYOD)?• What are the reasons for initiating a 1:1 program?• Are you “ready” for personalized learning through

individualized/personalized access? Can this environment be supported and sustained? Why or why not?– Culture & Communications?– Policies, Regulations & Procedures?– Professional Learning / Transformation?– Measurement & Assessment?– Next-Generation Learning Communities?– Technology Readiness?

• What processes, policies and procedures do you have to establish and maintain an alignment of the organization’s capabilities and capacities to student and teacher needs?



Discussion Topics (from Thursday’s Roundtable)Your questions, interests and/or challenges (pain-points)• Standardization of equipment• Internet access (challenges)• Delivery of applications (source?)• Maintaining control of content – BYOD - security• Enhancing access to learning opportunities and Internet

content• Tracking student progress within customized LP’s via

tech.• Policies (use of BYOD)• Types of personalized devices (recommended and

effective)• Funding sources and sources of additional support• Professional Learning for all (x2)• Digital citizenship (internet bullying)• Measurement of success skills (mastery-based)



Discussion Topics (from Thursday’s Roundtable)Your questions, interests and/or challenges (pain-points)• Definition of personalized learning? (x3)• Motivation for moving to individualized access• Process and methodology• Measurement/success of program• Security – community communication• Perception of 1:1 – a tech or instructional initiative?

Proper approach – design of PD?• What cost avoidance(s) can be realized from program?• For instructional support, how to serve as a resource

(coaching & modeling).• Appropriate/recommended device?• Different 1:1 models?• Best-practice for implementation?• Not becoming another layer of complexity for teachers



Discussion Topics (from Thursday’s Roundtable)Your questions, interests and/or challenges (pain-points)• How does 1:1 impact teacher outcomes and

expectations.• Change to the culture – using in an authentic model• Change in the teacher’s role• Device management (MDM)• Supporting infrastructure – readiness of

infrastructure



Discussion Topics (from Friday’s Roundtable)Your questions, interests and/or challenges (pain-points)• Infrastructure readiness (x2)• Sustainability (including financial) (x5)• Have a plan, but execution… (complexities & time)• What is going to be done differently; how does it change

our teaching? Outcomes? (x3)• Professional development (x6)

– different levels of readiness– stakeholder inclusiveness– coaching and support capacity– tool and not a tangent– investment to ease teacher fears

• Cultural shift– Expectations

• Measurements/rubrics (not just anecdotal)• LAUSD security issues



Discussion Topics (from Friday’s Roundtable)Your questions, interests and/or challenges (pain-points)• Platform selection• How to make usable at home (beyond the

walls/connectivity) (x2)• Who manages/owns the devices, apps, etc. (mobile

device management)• Digital content

Next-Generation LearningDefinition of Personalized LearningPur-suh-nl-ayzd Lur-ning

Verb:

1. The act or process of acquiring knowledge or skill that is designed or tailored to meet an individual’s specifications, needs, or preferences. --Dictionary.com (concatenated)

2. Adjusting the pace (individualization), adjusting the approach (differentiation), and connecting to the learner’s interests and experiences. –National Education Technology Plan

3. The tailoring of pedagogy, curriculum and learning environments to meet the needs and aspirations of individual learners, typically through technology.

Personalized learning is not synonymous with individualized, the latter of which is focused on mastery by adjusting the pace of the learner. However, individualized access facilitates personalized learning.



Next-Generation LearningDefinition of Personalized Learning• Attributes of Personalized Learning

(from Thursday’s Roundtable)– Student choice– Student groups around like interest– Self-directed discovery– Differentiating the “how”– Anytime, anywhere standards-based learning continuum– Performance-based mastery– “voices & choices”– Teacher as facilitator and “validator”– Assessing for the type of learner and readiness to participate– Self-assessment



Next-Generation LearningModels of Individualized AccessOne-to-One (1:1) vs. Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD)

1. One-to-one models typically involve a school/district-provided device.

2. BYOD models typically involve a student or parent-provided and maintained device.

3. All BYOD models typically includes (or requires) a supporting 1:1 model.

4. The learning, operational requirements and impacts for both programs to the classroom, school/building and infrastructure are similar.

5. BYOD programs generally have greater standardization challenges while 1:1 programs have greater logistical challenges.

6. 1:1 models can be in-school/in-class programs or individually assigned.



Discussion Topics


Discussion TopicsTopic #1 – Professional Learning• IT (speeds & feeds) aligned with Instruction & pedagogy• 80 hrs (two weeks) of Professional Development in

preparation.• Reflection time is necessary.• Walk-thru’s• Innovation committee to set expectations.• Leadership teams enabled in advance of PD• EIA funding used to engage low-performing students for

extended year and used setting for teacher PD – creates a “living lab” for PD.

• Need for basic computer skills (professional training)• “Appy Hours” are teacher-centered with presentation of

applications with teaching strategy.• “Tech Tuesday” for techy demonstrations.



Discussion TopicsTopic #1 – Professional Learning• Orientation with students and parents.

– Is there an opportunity for parents to provide feedback at the end of the orientation for future improvement?

• Administrators role-modeling technology• SurveyMonkey survey used to collect PD needs

from all stakeholders. Summary is shared with all.



Why Individualized Access?


Next-Generation LearningMike’s Top 10 Reasons for Starting a 1:1/BYOD Program

1. Bring learning and innovation to the student in their native environment.

2. Prepare students with 21st Century Skills.3. Enable new methods of exploration and

discovery (for both students and parents).

4. Close the “Digital Divide2”.5. Two words: parent pressure.6. Seems like a logical/intuitive next-step.7. Lighten the backpack; promise of the e-book.8. Must “keep up with the Joneses”, aka market

competition.9. Aren’t those devices cool-looking?10.That’s the trend in the media…
