In this webinar, you’ll hear directly from Dustin Hardin, Director of Technology at New Caney Independent School District. You’ll hear about the three year journey New Caney ISD took from not having any wireless access in their 14 campuses to starting a 1:1 program with Chromebooks in just three years. This will include a brief overview of all the milestones over the three year period (moving from a legacy email system to Gmail, automating student accounts, etc.), how the decision was made on Chromebooks, and most importantly, how they afforded it.

New Caney ISD is 45 minutes north of Houston, TX. The district has over 12,000 students and is one of the fasting growing districts in the Houston metro area. Learn more about why New Caney ISD decided on Chromebooks and their future plans for Nexus tablets.

In this webinar, participants will:

• Get an overview of the Google for Education solution which includes Chromebooks, tablets with Google Play for Education, and Google Apps for Education
• Learn how this solution can be used to improve student learning, collaboration, and innovation
• Hear first hand experience from a district using Google Apps for Education and Chromebooks.
• Learn how the school district put the ingredients, like professional development, in place for a successful pilot and then roll out
