Apple Systems Manager Bret Siegel [above] and Account Executive Chuck Enstall [below] hosted a workshop on Thursday, June 20, in the Missouri Room to go over best practices for using MacBook Air laptops, which were issued to Poplar Bluff High School staff.
Under the Digital Transformation, deployment of laptops to Junior High students will take place prior to this coming school year, during which time the one-to-one initiative will be piloted at Senior High in preparation for the issuance of laptops to older students during the 2014/15 school year.

Digital Transformation informational video
After the Digital Transformation received board approval earlier this year, Poplar Bluff R-I administrators held a series of informational meetings for parents in April and May at the Kay Porter Theater. The timeline leading to the one-to-one initiative was discussed, and questions were answered about the deployment of laptops to students.
For those who were unable to participate in the community dialogue, the video above recaps one of the presentations.
