Digital Devices

State Cooperative Purchasing Program

The Office of Digital Teaching and Learning has released an “Interest Form” inviting Arizona Local Education Agencies to participate in the Arizona Cooperative Program, a group effort to drive savings in the purchase of devices (laptops, desktops, tablets, etc.) plus services on those devices (accidental damage protection, white glove services and others).

 

Below is more information about the Arizona Cooperative Program:

  1. The Arizona Cooperative Program is administered by the State Procurement Office and is open to school districts, charter schools, community colleges and other non-profit educational institutions. Members also include non-profit organizations and other Political subdivisions.
  2. The objective of this “Interest Form” is to gauge Local Education Agencies’ level of interest in working together to leverage the State of Arizona “Computer Hardware and Support” Contracts. This initiative will aim to combine purchasing volume of Arizona LEAs to drive down costs for computers and related services.

TrustEd Apps Training for Administrators Mon, Oct 3 2022

In this workshop, Arizona LEAs will be trained in the foundations of student data privacy and accessibility and how to utilize a rubric to vet applications. Other criteria for vetting applications will be incorporated into the training including the following: interoperability with existing applications, teacher and student ease of use, and instructional relevance and purpose. Using the TrustEd Apps Management Suite (TAMS) from 1EdTech, the Arizona LEAs will collaborate on the best practices for sharing the use of digital learning tools and resources with other educators in their schools and districts and will learn strategies for providing professional development in digital learning for their colleagues.
