This DRAFT of the next release of the Deployment Guide is being created by the project Improving the Deployment Toolkit. Please leave suggestions for improving this page in the Discussion page unless you are a part of that project team. Feel free to make minor corrections/additions in-line.
This is a generalized guide to a large-scale deployment of one laptop per child. It is a working document that reflects lessons learned from our initial pilots and deployments. Additional ideas will be incorporated as we learn from each other. There is also a library of "Class Acts" for smaller school-sized deployments especially.
Please also check out the Deployment Resources for reports, links, documentation and other resources collated by deployment teams all around the world.
Every deployment includes planning (pre-deployment), execution (deployment), and support (post-deployment). Topics that need to be considered in detail in any deployment include: (Topics marked with a * are new to this release of the Deployment Guide)
