RGS SmartStart is a fully integrated classroom pilot program
which includes all of the components needed to deploy a complete
1:1 digital learning solution for a classroom of up to 30 students.
The individual elements are drawn from RGS’ existing portfolio of
education technologies and classroom support services, including
devices, classroom support applications, curriculum, professional
development and supporting services.
“Transitioning to a digitally-enabled classroom is not only a
sizable investment for school districts, but is also a tremendous
responsibility. The technology and curriculum decisions
administrators make and their ability to optimally deploy these
solutions will determine the ultimate success and competitiveness
of their students,” said Scott MacDonald, vice president and
general manager, RGS. “The RGS SmartStart pilot is designed to give
schools the opportunity to experience the benefits of a
comprehensive digital learning deployment without the substantial
upfront investment or long term commitment.”
RGS SmartStart pilot features include:
• Access to 30 devices – either RGS Education Chromebook or RGS
Windows Wi-Fi Learning devices
• Classroom Management System
• Learning Management System
• Curriculum – English language arts, mathematics or science
• 8 hours (minimum) of professional development
• Help Desk support
• Warranty with advance replacement
• Full coverage insurance with $0 deductible
The RGS SmartStart pilot program has been developed as a result
of RGS’ extensive experience deploying successful classroom pilots,
most recently at select districts and schools around the
metropolitan Phoenix area. A fully integrated RGS SmartStart
classroom pilot addressing the needs of a typical classroom
(approx. 30 students) starts at $12,500.
