Mass Networks staff present TCO workshops
for groups of five to 25 people. School districts, regional
education collaboratives and technology solution providers
can schedule workshops for interested audiences. TCO workshops
are especially useful for business managers, technology directors,
school committees and superintendents.
Total Cost of Ownership: Budgeting for
Effective Use of Education Technology
Learn to analyze past expenditures and predict future costs
as you integrate technology into the overall budget. Discover
how to save money without sacrificing technology's usefulness.
Workshop includes a complete participant workbook and customizable
cost analysis spreadsheets to be used as starting points for
improved budgeting.
Format: Half day or full day
TCO Special Focus: Creating Cost-Effective
Tech Support
One of the biggest hidden costs of education technology is
the time that gets wasted when teachers cannot access the
tools you've purchased. How can districts and schools set
up cost-effective systems to deal with problems efficiently?
This workshop will provide concrete ideas and suggestions
for actions to be implemented in your district or school.
Format: Half day
TCO: Advice from Experts
At this venue, Mass Networks will invite selected education
technology solution providers to join a panel discussion on
the issue of TCO in schools. Corporate
partners will have the chance to offer their unique perspective
on a particular TCO topic area.
Format: Full-day workshop and panel presentation
