Tablet PC Schools: A Checklist of Successes – Part Two

Part Two of this draft checklist provides a way to monitor school operations for successful deployment of mobile PCs, especially Tablet PCs and Ultra Mobile PCs, in most K20 schools. Research and some teaching universities follow different procedures from ones described in this checklist.

Grant proposal writers may find this and related checklists and definitions useful in preparing work plans for application reviewers to consider.

Part Two expands Section 4 of Part One into Section 4: School Operations – Administration – School Principal; Section 5: School Operations – Teachers; Section 6: School Operations – Curriculum and Supervision; Section 7: School Operations – Instruction.

Part One elaborates the short form checklist. Adapt and adjust these and related checklists and definitions to fit details of deployment of mobile PCs in your school.

Part Three (to be released separately, soon) indicates ways to increase and evaluate student learning rates with Tablet PCs and other mobile PCs as well as to adjust the school public relations plan.

Please let me know what adjustments would make this checklist more useful for you. rwh
