Teacher Laptop Specifications:
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is considered a “teacher”? Am I eligible to receive a
laptop?
The definition of a "teacher" for the laptop initiative is a
certified staff member who is in a classroom with students
more than half the day. The following staff members are NOT
eligible to receive a laptop: counselors, media specialists,
administrators and parapros.
When will we receive the laptops?
Likely in early May, which would give teachers the summer to
acquaint themselves with their new teaching tools.
Will I get a Dell or an Apple?
That depends on the technology focus of your school and
whether it is PC-centric or Mac-centric. The school principal
and staff will make that determination collaboratively.
What kind of training do I have to take? Is it mandatory?
In order to be issued a laptop, you will be required to
participate in a two-hour training session conducted by Dell
and Apple technicians. The training will take place at the
same time you pick up your laptop at a school within your
feeder pattern area.
