    Regarding school deployment of computers...

    A few schools, some of them quite large, have had success with having
    teachers/students pick up their boxes from the central storage area and
    assembling them themselves. They found it helpful to demonstrate that
    process in a meeting before asking people to do that.

    Once the computers are in place, the analyst can come by and load the
    software and connect each machine to the network.

    A few schools have also had weekend or other non-student day work parties of
    parents to deploy machines.

    A request to schools who have already installed Levy computers. What
    process/means did you use to actually place the computers in the classrooms
    from the drop-off point? It is my understanding that these are delivered to
    one spot, all at once, and that it is up to the building to place them where
    they go.

    At Hay, we will also have to move some older computers out of the way, so
    this
    is a lot of moving. I am thinking of a parent brigade to help, plus
    sub-days
    for tech commitee staff, because it sounds like a huge job. What has been
    the
    experience? Anything work really well? Thanks for any input.
