The Web to One Initiative is a District initiative that will ensure technology access at home for every middle school student. Providing a device for take home use will allow students to access more personalized and engaging lesson content while supporting students as they become more adept at taking charge of their learning, managing their time, and practicing responsibility. This directly aligns with our Profile of a Graduate as we work to build the competency of self-direction and allows students equitable access to online materials and resources.

While the specifics of the hardware may change over time, students can expect to use a device that has the following:

• Wireless internet access
• Compatibility with Google’s Education G-Suite
• Video Camera
• Microphone
• 7-Hour Battery life
• Continued Support under Google’s Auto Update Policy

To start, we will be using a mix of Acer C740s and Acer C732s.

We plan to launch the initiative at the beginning of Trimester 2, or November 26, 2018. We will begin the rollout at Monroe Middle School and follow with Rolling Hills Middle School.

At the beginning of the initiative, the majority of students will take home a device that has been purchased during previous fiscal years. CampbellUSD has been building up Chromebook numbers over the past four years. We will maintain this technology refresh rate and budget, as we have over the previous four years.

It is our hope that all middle school students participate in this District-funded take-home initiative for maximum instructional benefit and continuity.

We encourage all middle school students to take and use a District-issued Chromebook. District-issued Chromebooks are configured with web-filtering software, device-specific settings to keep students accountable, and are guaranteed to be compatible with assignments issued by CampbellUSD teachers. In addition to these protections, District-issued Chromebooks are maintained and repaired by District personnel to ensure that they are reliable and ready for student use.

That being said, we understand parents or guardians may not want to bring an additional device into their home if their child already has one, and may opt-out of the program. Students who have opted-out will still be provided a District Chromebook to be used at school during the normal school day.

Students who opt-out of the Technology Use Agreement will not be forced to use Chromebooks. Appropriate accommodations will be made.

Chromebooks have an expected life of 4 years. CampbellUSD monitors Google Auto Update Policy to help determine the expected support and life of a device. Students who receive a laptop in 6th grade should expect to use it through their 8th grade year.

Just like textbooks and library books, Chromebooks will be checked out to individual students and those individual students will be responsible for the care of the device. As with textbooks, students are responsible for any costs associated with repairing or replacing district property.

It does not matter if the device was damaged intentionally or unintentionally. The user is responsible for the device and will need to cover the cost of repair. If the device fails under normal wear-and-tear conditions, however, CampbellUSD personnel will repair the device at no cost.

CampbellUSD will keep spare Chromebooks in the library. Students can check out these devices to continue their studies. These Chromebooks will often be End of Life (EOL) and no longer supported through the Google Auto Update Policy. Students can expect to use these devices for their homework assignments and general web browsing, but should not expect to take any standardized assessments on a loaner Chromebook. Technology Department personnel will work to ensure devices are repaired and returned to students in a timely manner.

In the past four years, CampbellUSD technicians have repaired many devices, with damage largely falling into three categories:

• Trackpad & Keyboard: These repairs are normally necessary when the trackpad or keyboard have been intentionally damaged by removing the keys or peeling up the trackpad. Full keyboard replacements are $40.00 and trackpad replacements are $15.00.
• Screen: These repairs are normally necessary when a device has been dropped or the lid is closed on top of an object. The cost of replacing a screen is $40.00
• Battery: Battery issues are relatively rare, and repairs will typically be covered by the District due to normal wear and tear on the device. Students will be responsible for any repair cost if it is determined that there is deliberate and intentional damage to the battery. Battery replacements are $30.00 under these circumstances.
• Full Replacement: If a device is lost or damaged due to liquid spills, the cost of replacing the Chromebook is $320.00

CampbellUSD Chromebooks will be self-insured during the 2019-20 school year. This optional insurance will be provided by CampbellUSD and costs $33.00 annually. It covers the cost of repair or replacement of a device due to accidental damage or theft, with no deductible. Repairs will be performed on-site by Technology Department personnel.

Just like a textbook or other instructional materials, if your device is lost or stolen, you are responsible for covering the cost of replacement. If you have signed up for the optional insurance plan above, there is no fee or deductible to cover to replace the device.

It is our goal that all CampbellUSD students have internet access. Eligible families can sign up for Comcast Internet Essentials for the low monthly rate of $9.95. In addition, eligible families can sign up for T-Mobile Hot-Spots through the district for 2 GB of data per month. Regardless of your choice, Chromebooks can be used without an internet connection, in offline mode. Visit, Work on Google Drive files offline on your Chromebook, for more information.

Chromebooks in the Web to One Initiative are to be used only by the CampbellUSD student to whom the device was originally checked-out. Family-members should not use a Web to One Chromebook for their own personal use.

All internet traffic to CampbellUSD devices is filtered for inappropriate content and the logs are routinely monitored. Students are required to follow the rules established by the Student Technology Use Agreement, regardless of whether or not the students are on campus. Consequences for breaking the rules established by the Student Technology Use Agreement will be the same, regardless of whether or not the student is on campus.

All internet traffic to CampbellUSD devices is filtered and logged for inappropriate content and routinely monitored. Device Log-In and Log-Out activity is logged by Google and monitored for abnormalities. Use of the computer revealing private information, such as the GPS location, camera, microphone, or personal account logins, will not be monitored or logged.

Students will be using Chromebooks to expand their learning on and off campus. Their homework and lesson information will be posted in a location that is available when they are off campus. Teachers will use Google Classroom as a centralized platform to administer lessons and assignments. The Technology Department has created Google Classrooms that automatically roster the teacher’s students to help in this implementation.

Yes, we are providing many opportunities to help make the most of this initiative. We will be providing classes for teachers to obtain Google Level One Certification, free of charge. We will also be providing blended learning PDs on Hyperdocs and EduProtocols, in addition to providing digital tool resource pages, coaching support and targeted mini PDs.

Students are often allowed access to online tools based on their Google account and credentials. Students will have access to all Google-linked services and online tools while off campus (including all Clever-linked services). Companies that provide services based on IP Address may not be immediately available at the start of the initiative.

As educators, we would think long and hard before saying a child has lost their pen and paper privileges. We encourage teachers to take the same approach with Chromebooks. Teachers should familiarize themselves with some of GoGuardian’s features, such as limiting the websites students can visit during a session. This can achieve the desired outcome, without banning a student from a device during class.

It is expected that students bring their devices to school, fully charged, every day. Students who leave their device at home will use a district-provided Chromebook as a loaner workstation for the school day. Extra Chromebooks will be provided to classroom teachers and the school’s library for loaner distribution.

It is expected that students bring their devices to school, fully charged, every day. Power cables and charging stations will be made available in each classroom on campus. Students can charge their devices during class, during breaks or lunch.

Spare devices will be available on site. If a device does not work or otherwise fails, the teacher should submit a TechHelp ticket and have the student drop off the computer for repair in the Library. A member of the CampbellUSD technology team will come by and assess and/or repair the device. Students should use a loaner device, checked out from the Library, while they wait for a repair to be completed.

While offline, Chromebooks can access the complete Google Suite of Apps. This includes Google Docs, Slides, and Sheets. In addition, if a student has downloaded their Lesson/Unit/Module through their HMHPlayer Chrome extension, they have access to their textbook lessons, videos and resources while offline.
