Subject: Re: [Michlib-l] Increase your purchasing power with TRIG!!
I just ordered 13 chromebooks for library programming and saved almost $600 with TRIG! This was super easy to do (set up an account, create a shopping list, send a PO) and the staff were really helpful when I had questions. I'm now looking around at all the things offered and figuring out what else I can get for my library. I'd be happy to answer questions, but it's really so simple to do!

> In a survey of K-12 IT Leaders from across the country, it was found that the priorities of IT Leaders have recently shifted. As reported
> in the CoSYN 2016 K-12 IT Leadership Survey:
>
>
>
> "For the past four years, we have asked IT Leaders to indicate their top three priorities (from a list of 20 options). For the first time,
> "Assessment Readiness" does not appear as one of the top three. That drop-off in the rankings is likely an indicator that districts are now
> more prepared for online assessments than they have been in the past. This year almost half of all districts (48%) rated themselves as
> "fully prepared" compared to less than a third (28%) in the prior year. Seventy-five percent (75%) of all districts are either "fully
> prepared" or "almost ready," indicating a large majority is in good shape for implementing their high-stakes online assessments."

>
> "Taking over as the number one priority for districts is "Broadband & Network Capacity." This makes sense in light of the other two
> priorities in the top three-Wireless Access and Mobile Learning. The three priorities are intrinsically linked. The infrastructure that
> pursuit of these three priorities enables would provide for online assessment, which could explain the de-emphasis on "Assessment
> Readiness."
