[Casper] 1-to-1 recommendations

[John Wetter]

He have a 1-1 program in our 4-5-6 grades.  We manage the system preferences and partental controls using Managed Preferences, and we handle updates/software installs/imaging, etc. through Casper.  As mentioned, our students are manages mobile home directories with managed accounts.  Giving students admin accounts would be a mistake, IMHO.

Subject: [Casper] 1-to-1 recommendations

Hi all,

Next year our school of 1200 students will be going 1-to-1, where every student has their own laptop that they end up purchasing (over four years) through the cost of tuition. I have a couple logistical questions and I would love to benefit from the experience on this list. Has anyone gone 1-to-1 that I could bounce ideas around with? I’m mainly stumped by what kind of access the students should be granted: should they be given admin access on their machines? How does that impair management with Casper? That kind of stuff.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
