教育科技之声：美国客户端运算设备

本报告基于对 400 多位美国学校 IT 决策者的访谈，对客户端运算设备进行了全面调查。受访者来自美国所有 50 个州，并分为东海岸、西海岸和中部各州。

由于供应商数量众多，且学校可获得的解决方案五花八门，因此了解 K-12 学校教育科技 (EdTech) 的现状和未来投资计划往往十分困难。此外，决策者和影响者通常身处学区层面，而技术长 (CTO) 和资讯长 (CIO) 的影响力远不及其他行业。 本报告分析了学校目前和未来拥有的桌上型电脑、笔记型电脑、Chromebook 和平板电脑，以及学校面临的主要优先事项和障碍。

本报告是四篇系列报告之一，其他三篇分别涵盖以下内容：

• 视听设备
• 管理工具
• 课堂工具

市场趋势：

疫情爆发近六年之后，美国学校终于迎来了大部分设备更新换代的高峰期，这些设备大多是在2021年或之后不久通过联邦拨款购置的。这些设备如今已接近使用寿命，学校面临巨大的压力，需要製定未来几年的设备采购策略，尤其是在政府拨款逐渐减少的情况下。

此外，许多设备的停产，加上去年10月Windows 10停止支持，促使许多学校升级或为受影响的Windows设备寻找替代方案。

研究领域：

• 学校当前教育科技使用及计算设备投资计画的回馈
• 学校在投资运算设备和规划未来采购时最重视的因素
• 投资障碍及主要采购方式
• 教育科技市场分析
• 教育科技市场规模

This comprehensive client computing devices report takes information from over 400 interviews with school IT decision makers in the USA. The respondents represent all 50 states, grouped by East Coast, West Coast and Central states.

Understanding the current adoption levels of EdTech in K-12 schools, along with planned investment, is often challenging. This is due to the large number of vendors and the different solutions offered to schools. In addition, the decision-makers and influencers often operate at district level, so CTOs and CIOs do not have the same level of influence typical of other industries.

This report focuses on the current and projected ownership of desktop PCs, laptops, Chromebooks and tablets, as well as the key priorities and obstacles faced.

This client device computing report is one in a series of four reports, with the other three reports covering:

• Audio Visual Devices
• Administration Tools
• Classroom Tools

Market Trends:

As we approach nearly 6 years on from the start of the pandemic, US schools are finally reaching the start point of a major fleet refresh for a substantial majority of devices initially purchased during the pandemic in 2021, and shortly after, benefitting from numerous federal response funding schemes. These devices now at their end of life, schools are under immense pressure to navigate the next few years in their device procurement choices, particularly in the absence of government funding.

In addition to large proportions of device fleets at their end of life, schools are also facing the end of Windows 10 support back in October, requiring many to either upgrade or find alternatives to their eligible Windows devices.

Areas Explored:

• Feedback on the current usage of EdTech in schools and planned investment of computing devices.
• Insights into which factors are most important to schools when investing in computing devices and their planned future purchases.
• Barriers to investment are also explored, as well as key methods of procurement.
• EdTech market analysis
• EdTech market size
