Brian Hawkins posted a good writeup of our initial deployment process and budget for infrastructure and professional development on our NWRESD 1:1 site.

From the introduction of his post, "Forest Grove has invested much of the time since the mini-conference in Eugene identifying the infrastructure that is needed to effectively run the 1:1 pilot at Tom McCall. Our goal is to leave approximately 33% of the total budget for the pilot for the second year. This will be difficult given that there are significant ramp-up costs involved. We have divided our budget into three main areas: hardware, software and professional development."

Take a look at the budget which details products, vendors and costs. Once you see how much technology we're pouring into these classrooms you'll should take a second and consider how much training needs to go along with the program just to help the teachers use these tools. It's also interesting to note that the cost of the laptops will be roughly one third of the total pilot cost. Bringing schools into the 21st. century is no easy task! ;-)
