and photocopying, eg 50% of the cost of the device per child'
The lifecycle of a Device
Device lifespan expired:
what next?
"At Leo Academy Trust we tend to try and use them for isolated projects or to support the digital divide and put them into the hands of people who can still use them.'
What is our current device renewal cycle, and how can we optimise it to balance cost-effectiveness with ensuring access to up-to-date technology? Are we maximising the lifespan of our devices?
How can we responsibly dispose of outdated or broken devices to minimise e-waste and its environmental impact? Do we have a partnership with a certified e-waste recycler?
Can we explore alternative device procurement models, such as leasing or refurbished devices, to reduce costs and environmental impact? Are there grants or programs that support sustainable technology initiatives?
How can we extend the lifespan of our devices through proper maintenance, repair, and upgrades? Do we have a system for repairing devices rather than simply replacing them?
Do you know how much you are spending on photocopying in your school and is......
'I don't know, but too much'
.....a good enough answer?
Reduced paper use
Natasha Dolling from LEO Academy Trust discusses
the large reductions in paper use made in Maths lessons due to digitisation.
How can we reduce our reliance on paper and printing, minimizing waste and costs? What digital tools and workflows can we implement to promote paperless practices?
How can we leverage technology to digitise workflows and reduce the need for printing, such as online forms, digital assignments, and cloud-based document sharing?
