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.
Every deployment includes planning (pre-deployment), execution (deployment), and support (post-deployment). Topics that need to be considered in detail in any deployment include:
- Core Team
- Logistics
- Localization
- Connectivity
- Power Infrastructure
- School Server
- Teacher Preparation/Student Facilitation
- Support
- Service/Repairs
- Internet Safety Training
- End of life planning
Each of these topics is expanded upon in this wiki. Also in the wiki are: (I) some tips based upon our experience in trial deployments around the world; (II) a deployment checklist; (III) a sample deployment deployment schedule; (IV) a sample workshop schedule; (V) a glossary of terms; (VI) a worksheet for planning deployment needs on an individual school basis; and (VII) a guide to imaging, activating, and registering laptops.
