Digital Learning Hand- Book for Claremont Students Digital Learning Hand- book for Claremont Students Escuela de Inmersión Claremont Immersion School Developed by Wilmarie Clark, Instructional Technology Coordinator Claremont Spanish Immersion, Arlington, VA Welcome to your school iPad Dear Students, this handbook was designed for YOU! Our goal is to make sure you are ready for the future and to help change our world for the better. None of this can happen without you. Make sure to ask questions if you don’t understand something. Show your parents how your iPad helps you learn and create throughout the school year. Remember to keep a balance. Stay active! You are important and what you do is important! Strive for the highest and work to create a better world. 1 Who Should Read This Handbook? This handbook is written for Claremont Immersion Elemen- tary School students who use personalized learning de- vices provided by Claremont through APS. Students and parents should read this handbook together. It is impor- tant that students’ families understand the responsibili- ties and expectations of using and caring for a student’s personalized learning device. Developed by Wilmarie Clark, Instructional Technology Coordinator Claremont Spanish Immersion, Arlington, VA 2 Taking Care of iPads 3 Section 1 iPad & Accessories All students are assigned: 1. iPad (The iPad model and case you receive will be the same as other students in your grade level, but may differ slightly from students in other grade levels. 2. iPad charger and lightning to USB cable 3. Protective case Students’ iPad charger and charging cable will remain in school at all times. Students should be using their devices at home for schoolwork. Therefore iPad use should never exceed more than the time it takes you to complete your homework. If students follow the guidelines, they will have enough charge for the next school day. We want to help our students keep a balance in their lives and maintain active! 4 Students should plug in their devices as soon as they arrive in school - just as they leave their backpacks in their classrooms. If there are changes regarding taking the charger and charging cable home, we will notify students and families. iPads are assigned to students while they are enrolled at Claremont. They are used during the school year and may need to be turned in for maintenance and updates for summer. If a student must leave Claremont for any reason before the end of the academic year, the iPad and all accessories must be returned immediately. If the student is transferring to another APS school, the school’s ITC will make arrangements with the ITC from the receiving school. 5 Section 2 iPad Care Taking care of our technology equipment is part of APS’s Acceptable Use of Technology Policy that all students signed at the beginning of the school year (class poster). To make sure your iPad has a long and healthy life, follow these tips: •Carry your iPad carefully. iPads are durable devices, but require responsible handling. Avoid placing weight on the iPad. Never throw or slide an iPad. Never run with the iPad. Don’t leave the iPad on the edge of desk or table. •Do not eat or drink over or near your iPad. Keep drinks and other liquids away from the iPad. •Tap the iPad gently. •When plugging in and unplugging your iPad, hold the cable by the hard end plug, not by the cord, •Leave the protective case on the iPad at all times. 6 •If your iPad screen is very dirty, ask your teacher for help. Glass cleaner and other household chemicals will damage the screen. Using a dry, soft, microfiber cloth will generally be enough to wipe the iPad screen clean. •Make sure you know where your iPad is at all times. Check to ensure that you have your iPad before leaving Specials. •Put the iPad in your backpack or under your jacket if it is raining or snowing. •Immediately report any damage, loss, or theft to your teachers. The sooner we know about it, the faster we can find it or get it fixed. PROPERTY OF CLAREMONT IMMERSION Your School-issued iPad is the property of Claremont and as a result may be taken at any time by a teacher or administrator for review. All materials on the iPad, as well as all school-issued accounts, are considered open for teacher, administrator, and parent access. 7 Student Responsibili- ties 8 Section 1 Bring It Every Day and Keep it Charged Bring It Every Day and Keep it Charged Students are responsible for bringing their iPads to school every day. Failure to bring the iPad, like any other class material, does not release students from their responsibility for classwork or homework. No excuses! Students are expected to check their iPad’s battery during the school day. Plug your iPad to charge whenever it is under 30-40% battery life. 9 Section 2 Apps, Games, Music and Videos Apps, Games, Music and Videos Claremont uses a system called Airwatch to manage iPads and help students get the apps they need. Students should only use the App Catalog (never the App Store) to download apps they need for their schoolwork at their teacher’s request . Students can arrange apps on their home screen in any organizational system that works for them . Using folders is a good way to organize similar apps into groups. If students do not want to organize apps in folders, they can use “Spotlight Search” to quickly search for an app on their iPads. Students may not use a personal Apple ID on a Claremont-issued iPad at any time. If you know of an app that could help others learn, tell your teacher or the Instructional Technology Coordinator (ITC), Mrs. 10 Clark, about it! We love to learn about new apps, tools, and iPad tricks! The use of games, music, and videos, while at school , will be determined by your teacher. The school-issued iPad is intended as a tool for learning. Misusing your iPad may result in disciplinary action. 11 Section 3 iOS Updates iOS Updates Sometimes there are iOS updates that make the iPad work better or that add new features. You may get a notification on your iPad telling you that an update is ready. Students should apply updates to their iPads as soon as possible. 12 Section 4 Customizing your iPad Customizing your iPad Having a personalized learning device can be fun! While there are some things that cannot be changed on a student iPad in order for school to keep you safe and help you get the apps you need, there are many things you CAN customize. Here are some settings you can change and some things that you should never touch: Wallpaper You can set your wallpaper to whatever you’d like as long as it meets the following two rules: 1. It must be school-appropriate. Wallpapers of images that show guns, violence, people dressed indecently, or other inappropriate images are not allowed. 13 2. The lock screen wallpaper must have your name clearly displayed on it. This way you can quickly identify your iPad when turning on its screen. ______________________________ Accessibility You can customize your iPad’s hand gestures, timer and alarms sounds, invert colors, change font size, change button shapes, etc. Tap Settings > General > Accessibility to change accessibility features. ______________________________ Profiles Do not change or remove any profiles on your iPad. 14 Game Center & App Store The Game Center and Apple’s App Store are not allowed on student iPads and should not be turned on. If your iPad is showing either of these icons, you must report it to your teacher so that the school’s ITC can check that your iPad is configured correctly. ______________________________ Social Media At this time, students may not download or sign into social media, photo sharing or communication apps like Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Vimeo, Messages or FaceTime. Remember there are very important laws and rules that do not allow children in elementary schools to sign up for or use social media. ______________________________ 15 Section 5 Being a Digital Citizen Being a Digital Citizen Using The Internet The Internet is awesome and you can learn many things on it! However, there are lots of things online that are not a good fit for school or that can negatively affect you and people you know. Use these tips to make sure you have a good experience using the Internet •Know what you’re looking for before you search online. There are so many distractions on the Internet! Make sure you are not wasting class or learning time. Stick to what you are hoping to find. •If you’re not sure how to find what you’re looking for, ask a teacher for help. The school librarian and the school’s ITC can help as well. •If you see anything online that makes you feel sad, angry or uncomfortable, close the page or app immediately and get help from your teacher 16 or, if at home, from your parents. They can help you learn how to avoid it in the future. •Follow your teachers and the school’s rules when you use the internet at school. Follow your family’s rules when you use the internet at home. Being Respectful And Safe The internet helps us being connected to others. That is awesome! However, it can also allow people to do things that can be hurtful to themselves or others. Use these tips to help you and others be respectful and stay safe when online: •Always be kind, polite, and respectful when communicating (emailing, messaging, posting) online.

  • Laptop Policy, Procedures and Information
    MacBook Computer Manual Procedures and Information Brandon Valley High School Brandon, South Dakota Brandon Valley High School MacBook Air Computer Program The Brandon Valley High School staff has been having on-going discussions about how we can move our school forward to better serve our students. As a staff, we feel that it is important to constantly be looking for ways to improve the educational experience for our students to help prepare them for their next step. Though we have been very successful in the past, based on certain indicators, it is key to the success of our future students that we continue to adapt, adjust, and innovate to meet the changing needs of our students in and out of the classroom. Based on this premise, the BVHS staff is excited to launch a learning initiative, iInvest, to begin with the 2016-2017 School Year. Providing all students with 24-7 access to computers is a major component of the iInvest Intiaitive. We believe that the use of the computers and access to available technology, integrated throughout our program of instruction, will help prepare students for their future. The use of technology will allow our students to collect, analyze, consider and communicate ideas and information from an enormous pool of available resources. Through effective planning, our staff will guide students in the analysis, synthesis and evaluation of this vast store of information and help them apply it to complex and practical real-world problems in the classroom. Through the use of the Mac Book Air computers, the teaching and learning process will change over time with students assuming more responsibility for their learning and teachers becoming coaches in the classroom rather than dispensers of knowledge.

  • Peregian Springs State School Mlearning BYO Ipad Program
    Peregian Springs State School mLearning BYO iPad Program Background Some parents ask about the evidence on which we are basing our ‘bring your own’ device programs. Research into technology in classrooms has been conducted over the last 30 years with the most influential and definitive research being done by Dr Reuben Puentedura. His research has shown that using technology to support instruction in a planned way (across K-12) rather than just having children play learning games has a significantly higher effect on student outcomes than introducing technology in later schooling years. IPads have been trialled in classrooms around Australia since 2011. There is a plethora of information on the Internet about these trials and their success in increasing student engagement, responsibility and a range of learning outcomes. These trials were so successful that in 2012 the Department of Education in Queensland provided every school with 10 iPads to be used with students with disabilities and learning difficulties. Of particular use to our school is the research undertaken by our own Department and also that of Victoria where one-to-one programs have been implemented widely for many years. The following websites provide some reading on this, should you be interested. • http://education.qld.gov.au/smartclassrooms/documents/enterprise-platform/pdf/ipad-trial.pdf • http://www.ipadsforeducation.vic.edu.au/pubs/ipads-for-learning/2017-ipad-trial • http://cheltenhamps.vic.edu.au/wp- content/uploads/sites/13/2014/11/iPads_for_learning_In_your_hands_trial_evaluation_report.pdf Our Regional Technology Manager (who is employed by the Department to work with schools to develop these programs) also has provided a number of resources to our School Council.

Student device programs required IT to deploy, secure and manage hundreds, if not thousands, of devices manually, which was both time-consuming and lacked quality assurance measures. In 2010, Apple delivered — and improved upon every year — a robust management framework called mobile device management for managing macOS, iPadOS and iOS devices. MDM offers a clear path to streamline large- and small-scale device deployment, enrollment into management, inventory collection, consistent app and content distribution, and device security.

  • Nursing-Computer-Sof
    Updated April 2014 UTHSC College of Nursing Computer and Software Requirements Each incoming student must have a laptop computer BEFORE the start of Nursing’s on- campus technology orientation. Students coming into the BSN or CNL program are required to have an iPad Mini tablet for use during clinicals. This is included in the course materials fees and you will recieve your iPad during orientation. Tips for Purchasing a Computer: 1. Take a good, honest look at your computer. If it is several years old or does not meet all of the requirements below, go ahead and invest in a new computer prior to the start of classes. Each year we see a handful of students who start their programs with a marginal machine and find after a few weeks that the computer is inadequate or it crashes. They are then saddled with the task of buying a new computer and getting it ready for use while also trying to keep up with schoolwork. Like your tuition, your computer is an investment in your education and should be treated as such. 2. Do not allow your children to use your school computer. Again, we’ve seen many students run into computer problems when their children make changes on their computers or surf the Web and pick up a variety of viruses and malware. About Macintosh Computers: Students will be responsible for making sure their non- Windows computer can perform all required tasks and run all necessary applications as specified by this document AND their individual professors.
