  23. Making a Pass Code WHS iPads already have a passcode. You shouldn’t need it since, once unlocked, students can enter a new passcode, making your life a living hell. But if you ask me I will tell you only if you PROMISE not to tell a student for the sake of expediency or to be their friend.

  24. Using the “toggle” • to hook to LCD projector for presentation • other options • use iPad as remote mouse: must be on wireless • use iPad as remote whiteboard: ditto • sync-ing type apps such as Join.Me: double ditto

  25. Setting a custom background

  26. email - • accessing school email account? • teachers need to know their "school abbreviation ####" email password they use to log on to the current Remote Access Mail site, called "EMU Mail." • 2 ways around it: [1] use Mail to get email, or[2] Spoof an account through Google or Yahoo! and use the Internet to get mail.

  27. email[2] [1]

  28. Printing • Apple has included AirPrint on iPad 2's - - getting connected is another story • Highest-rated paid printing apps: Print Central & Printopia - both work only now & then on the district network • PrintShare: free app - gotta tweak your teacher PC a bit but it does work • NEW HP app - works for HP printers

  29. Choosing a wireless network - • access wireless networks while at *or* away from school. WVUSD iPads are set to join wireless networks automatically, and student iPads are already logged on to the wireless network.

  30. How to add & delete & move apps • Manual sync, PLEASE • Sharing files with students (and vice versa!) • UploadingIt.com / DropBox.com • FileShare app • Blackboard’s Digital Dropbox • Taking a screenshot: Home + Wake/Sleep • Emailing • Is there a clear-cut guideline? No.

  31. Keeping iPads Safe During Student Use • 4 hour snooze • DO NOT SHARE any passcodes • Did I mention not sharing passcodes? • Custom wallpaper • Exit ticket - great summary activity • Give yourself time; it’s not electronic babysitting as usual • DON’T SHARE THE PASSCODE

  32. Scheduling / Checking Out/ Restricting • Scheduling - solutions vary • Room check out / check in - use the ‘roster # matches iPad #’ technique • Restrictions - use the pass code to change them as needed
