Device Care

1.  It is very important that students close down apps and websites on the iPad when they are done using the iPads.  Most students are familiar with closing down apps by clicking the home button 2 times, and then swiping the app up and off the screen.  However, it's also important to close down any websites used, so student information, test scores, etc. is not shared.  To close down a website, you will click on the website and see 2 squares at the top right (see picture).  By clicking on them, it will show you all websites open and make it easy to "x" them out from there.

Please teach your students both techniques to "clean up" before the next class uses the iPads!

 In addition, if you are a teacher who uses iPads often, please be sure to take a look at iPad Management!  Attached here are iPad use posters you can easily print and display in your classroom!  (All of these links are also found on the Tech Integrator's website under Tutorials for Teachers).

2.  Please take a moment to review appropriate surface cleaning techniques for iPads and laptops, especially as we are in cold and flu season!

3.  This Saturday at 9:30 AM is our first ever Seesaw Social.  If you'd like to know more, please use this Evite to RSVP! Please share this with any local teacher friends, as it is open to area school districts, as well!  The "more the merrier"!
