I think, you know, schools had devices, but not as many were sending them home, obviously, that the change in the world has changed. Yeah, so, I think, you know, we had we done that poll, you know, towards the beginning of the year, we would have seen different results. Talk about how these fundamentals can help right now. Rob, I know you’ve been talking to a lot of schools a nd helping them with this. They had, scale, trying to really quickly ramp up their 1 : 1 programs.īut for the vast majority of schools, even if it’s not one device for every single student, there are school owned devices at home, and that’s what we want to help you solve. I’ve talked to a lot of schools who, you know, did surveys of the parents and the communities to find out who had devices, who needed them, to figure out how they could make whatever devices. So this definitely matches what we’ve been seeing and what I’ve been hearing, that schools have a lot of devices that are now off campus, at home with students.

There could be a majority remote learning continuing where we’re at today. And, no, we don’t have a crystal ball for what this looks like in the fall, but we can anticipate that there could be delayed school starts. Students are around the world, are learning from home, from kitchen islands and bedrooms and wherever they can. We talk to schools and CTOs and customers all day every day.Īnd obviously right now just the classroom is changing.
