Districts have very little usage information
• Early adopter teachers devise ways to integrate technology into the classroom.
• Time spent to curate apps is extensive.
• Most tools and apps provide no classroom management features.
Devices are often not used in the classroom
Districts need to show ROI
• Apps don’t collect student data.
• Without alignment to learning objectives, it is difficult to gage curriculum
effectiveness, students progress and other fundamental metrics.
• Devices are purchased largely with “one time” funding.
• Devices have a limited shelf-life.
• Data on usage and impact is needed to support additional funding.

Curriculum Channel
Most popular digital citizenship
curriculum
Exploros allows students to be
social digital citizens during
classroom learning
Available on Chrome Store
“I love that all students get a voice in
contributing to the lesson. When we
traditionally teach this content, a student’s voice
is heard if they are willing to raise their hand
and share, but everyone was engaged in the
process when they could digitally collaborate.”
Erin Cárcamo,
Media Specialist and Department Co-Chair,
Minnetonka Public Schools
Example: Every 1:1 classroom needs to teach digital citizenship (by law). Common Sense Education makes
the most popular curriculum. Exploros brings it to life for 1:1 and can make it available directly within the
Chrome Store. Google will also promote it through its Educator Network.

IMPLEMENTATION
1:1 classroom over time
STEP
Typically classrooms are
transformed to 1:1 over a 3-4
year period.
Currently, districts spend $180
per student annually on
curriculum related materials.
With self-publishing, OER and
improved visibility through data,
these costs can be reduced or
optimized significantly.
