Setup Guide BYO Apple iPad iPad Requirements We encourage the minimum requirements for a parent-supplied iPad: a full sized iPad with minimum 32gb storage. a recent iPad capable of running the latest iOS – e.g. iPad 6th generation, iPad 5thgeneration, iPad Air, iPad Air 2 or iPad Pro. a WiFi only model (not cellular). Where and how to purchase an iPad is entirely up to you. We have consulted with local businesses and there are many options available, including at department stores. Other Requirements Headphones – We recommend that students use over the ear headphones (not buds) with a volume restriction capability. Cover - A Griffin Survivor or Lifeproof case is highly recommended to minimise potential damage. All iPads must be in a protective cover when brought to school. Insurance – Parents/carers are responsible for iPad repairs, warranty and insurance arrangements. We recommend you check your home and contents insurance to ensure that your child’s iPad is covered. Apple provides iPad service and repairs. For further information regarding Apple services please click on the link https://support.apple.com/en-au/ipad/repair/service Applications (Apps) Required Many of the apps we will use at school are free. If purchased apps are required throughout the year, the total will not exceed $40 annually. Please see the list at the end of this booklet for the apps we require to be installed on your child’s iPad. Setting up an Apple ID Please note: Apple's terms and conditions state that users must be 13 years of age or older to have a personal Apple ID. This means that prior to 13 years of age, the Apple ID associated with a child's iPad is the parents'/guardians' AppleID for that device, and not the child's. Therefore, we ask parents/guardians of children under the age of 13 to create and manage their child's Apple ID. Parents can decide whether to continue to manage their child's Apple ID once he/she turns 13 years of age. Family Sharing We recommend you use family sharing. Family Sharing makes it easy for up to six people in your family to share iTunes, iBooks, and App Store purchases, an Apple Music family membership, and an iCloud storage plan, without sharing accounts. Family Sharing also lets you share photos, a family calendar, and more to help keep everyone connected. Family Sharing and Apple ID for your child With Family Sharing, you can create Apple IDs for children under 13. To participate in Family Sharing, all family members must have their own Apple ID. Children under 13 can't create an Apple ID on their own. However, as a parent or legal guardian, the family organiser can provide verified parental consent for a child to have their own Apple ID, then create it on the child’s behalf. If your child already has an Apple ID, you can update their email address, date of birth, security questions, and more. When you create an Apple ID for a child, it is added to your family group automatically.

You can see the history, and select clear at the bottom if you wish to remove it. If you are unsure of a listed site, select the site name and it will open the webpage for you to view. Private Browsing On the iPad, Safari will allow you to ‘Private Browse’ the internet to protect your private information and stop some websites from tracking your behaviour. While in Private Mode, Safari will not remember pages you visit, your search history, or ‘autofill’ information. The use of Private Browsing is not recommended if your wish to keep a track of what your child is accessing. Note: If Private Browsing is enabled, Safari will appear dark across the top instead of light. For more information on Private Browsing visit https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT203036 Do a general check of your child’s apps, music and videos. Parents play an important role in helping their child develop safe and positive experiences using technology. Spend time with your child and let them show you how to use their apps and the work they are doing. We do not recommend students use social media under the age of 13 and most social media companies have age limits on their agreement pages. If you are not sure of an app, ‘Google it’ to find out what it can and can’t do. iMessage - This is an Apple service that lets you send unlimited messages over wifi connections to other iOS devices, therefore it is a good idea to check it every so often. Facetime – Enables you to video chat over a wireless connection with other iOS devices. Both Facetime and iMessage can be turned off if they become a distraction at home: 1. Open Settings. 2. Tap Messages. 3. Slide the iMessage switch to the Off position. 4. Open Settings. 5. Select FaceTime. 6. Slide the Facetime switch to the Off position. Internet filters at home Service providers, such as Optus and Telstra, have built in settings on your home modem so that you can access and check its settings and filtering. For more information on this, contact your service provider. Digital Understandings Some rules to live by: Remember what you post online leaves a digital footprint – think before you post! Online information is easily accessible; remember to protect your private information. Take care of your eyes and ears; you should be able to hear someone talking, in a normal voice, when they are 1 metre away from you while wearing headphones. Make sure you do not spend all of your time on technology – balance is the key. If you are upset or concerned about something you see on the internet or social media, talk to an adult you trust. Keep yourself safe online: Keep your personal details private. Don’t share your passwords, not even with friends. Don’t post anything you do not want others to see or know about. For more information on keeping safe go to the following links: The Office of the Children’s eSafety Commissioners Enhancing online safety for children site, https://www.esafety.gov.au/ The Department of Communications, Stay Smart Online is the Australian Government's online safety and security website, https://www.communications.gov.au/what-we- do/internet/stay-smart-online The Australian Federal Police ThinkUKnow website, http://www.thinkuknow.org.au/ App List – prices current as at 1/11/2019.
