I may come back and clean this up….but here is a bit of a “brain dump” of things I have seen working well in our classrooms using ipads. \u00a0If something does not make sense shoot one of us an email and we are happy to help.<\/p>\n
Apples up! \u00a0 Check your wifi. \u00a0Airplane mode gets you on the closest access point.<\/p>\n
Ipad goes in small pocket of your backpack and nothing else!<\/p>\n
Set an recurring alarm in the clock app to remind students to put the ipad in their backpack every morning at 7:30 am. \u00a0(very effective)<\/p>\n
Set a recurring alarm on Sunday and Wednesday evenings to charge the ipad<\/p>\n
Make a safe place on the playground for backpacks….and DONT throw your backpack anymore!<\/p>\n
Decorate your case as a class project. \u00a0 Make a selfy for your start up screen in case you misplace your ipad at school.<\/p>\n
Make a screen shot of your schedule at middle and high school and make that your wallpaper.<\/p>\n
Choose a day of the month that everyone updates their iOS and apps<\/p>\n
Change your teacher desk ( and teaching position) to the back of the room often \u00a0so that you can see screens<\/p>\n
Establish clear expectations and seek the help of administration for students struggling to use an ipad as an academic device. \u00a0Check out our digital conversion ebis model.<\/p>\n
Create a “techspert” in every class. \u00a0Have them try to resolve basic issues<\/p>\n
At home:<\/p>\n
LEAVE YOUR CHARGER AT HOME! \u00a0 Write your name on your charger (and cord)<\/p>\n
VPN is for home use only. \u00a0VPN disconnects at home every time the screen turns black<\/p>\n
More soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
