replaced 418 old computers with new, energy-efficient PCs. The new PCs were
loaded with NComputing
desktop-virtualization software, allowing up to a dozen people to work off of
the same machine. Each additional user needs an access device [which NComputing
sells], a keyboard, a monitor, and a mouse. With the exact same number of PCs,
Young provided an additional 1,260 computing seats. Running the 418 older
computers was costing the district $11,537 per school year. Running the 418
fully equipped new PCs costs only $12,477. In addition, Young says he saved
close to $600,000 on equipment and on energy costs. The new setup is $7.44 per
user vs. $27.60 per seat, using the old PCs.
“I know who the user is, what device he or she logged on—at school or at
home—what he or she did, which websites they visited, and when they logged off,”

that well-implemented technology initiatives can save states money after an
initial investment

educational technology initiatives using a cost-benefit analysis to determine
which ed-tech programs and devices are having the most
cost-effective impact for schools, parents, and states

- goal is a national study [to] … create a model detailing the technologies that
  contribute to improved learning [as well as] cost savings
- The data will be used to develop a framework for determine which programs and
  services are most effective in raising achievement.
- examine larger factors that may be influenced by ed-tech initiatives, such as
  the cost to society for high school dropouts, credit recovery and remediation
  costs, and how much money can be saved by using virtual learning.
- Professional development, online learning, and online credit recovery are three
  areas in which Hayes said she expects to see a significant return on ed-tech
  investment

Top News - Audits frustrate e-Rate applicants

Four out of five applicants said the e-Rate is meeting its goal of connecting
schools and libraries to the internet, and 71 percent said their organization
has more classrooms online as a result of the program--up from 59 percent last
year.
Two-in-Five Rule--which limits a school or library's receipt of funding for
internal connections to twice in a five-year period--is not having its intended
effect, which is to allow this funding to reach a greater number of entities.

- applicants regarded the Bishop Perry Order--a rule change from 2006 that
  allowed them to make corrections to specific items on their applications, if
  minor errors are discovered--as the most positive change to the e-Rate program
  in recent years.
- however, applicants weren't quite so enamored with the order. The percentage of
  respondents who believed Bishop Perry would bring no change to the e-Rate
  program was 36 percent, up from 25 percent last year.
- most applicants find the audit process arduous and draining on their time and
  resources. While audits might be a necessary evil, most applicants said the
  process could be streamlined
