Re:You should talk to your Apple SE (Score 1)

As a server admin for a Apple 1:1 school, I can honestly say that this is probably the best advice anyone has posted. Your Apple SE should be the first person you talk to if you haven't already. They can give you the advice that you are looking for. Your Apple SE can also help you set up an appointment with one of their demonstrations sites (Schools that already have 1:1 implemented) so that you can take a closer look at a working site and ask questions of the schools Faculty, IT Staff and Students. Don't try to reinvent the wheel. There are districts out there that have been doing this successfully for five years or more. Learn from them. One last bit of advice. Take a serious look at a good client management software package such as the Casper Suite or one of its competitors. In a lab or cart based program you can get by without such tools, but in a true 1:1 program where students have there computers 24-7 you need the ability to manage the clients (push new software or OS updates, etc.) without actually touching the systems.
