How to deploy digital equipment at school on a large scale? How can local decision-makers be helped to choose the right material? How to train users? Some of the questions that industry professionals had to answer. In the image of Computacenter It has deployed several thousand Apple tablets in nearly 300 locations over the past two years. It is time to take stock before a new phase of deployment in more than a dozen French departments.
The experience of the project Digital Educational Territories identified the keys to success in supporting the digital transformation of the school. The various lockdowns have shown the urgency of accelerating the movement. The stakes are high: it is a question of ensuring pedagogical continuity and reducing the digital divide.
A new impetus for the experience of the Educational Digital Territories
The Digital Education Territories aim to test, on a large scale, the implementation of pedagogical continuity and reduce the digital divide.
Two departments (Aisne and Val-d’Oise) served as pilot areas for the first phase of this major project. At the time of the reviews, the positive aspects quickly made us forget the hunchbacks of the beginning. Computacenter has been involved in the deployment of Apple tablets in many locations.
Feedback from experience in the department of Val-d’Oise:
After this experimentation phase in 2020-2021 in two departments (Aisne and Val-d’Oise) and these first positive feedbacks, ten new departments are entering the system: Bouches-du-Rhône, Cher, Corse-du-Sud, Doubs, Finistère, Guadeloupe, Hérault, Isère, Vienne and Vosges.
Computacenter a global support in the digital transition
Computacenter accompanies schools, from the provision of solutions, to implementation, to pedagogical support.
Coordinator of the effective implementation of digital solutions across a department; Computacenter offers a proven method to go through all stages of the digital project without any hassle.
This requires support in defining the solution by assessing users' needs and expectations. The implementation of iPads in classes also requires the choice of equipment to protect, secure and make available the equipment (hulls, connected luggage, secure mobile classes, equipment to recharge …).
Provision of Apple hardware, but also content with Jamf School experience. The existing catalogue of more than 300 pedagogical applications has been expanded in coordination with the test departments. Apple’s iPads also allow for good interaction with other teaching materials. A real plus.
Another criterion contributing to the success of such large-scale projects is the training of teachers and users. Pedagogical support provided by Computacenter partners approved byApple. Their professional experience allows them to better understand the daily challenges faced by teachers in the classroom.
Computacenter, with its experience acquired in the field, accompanies you from end to end and allows you to put all the chances of success on your side.
