I am using this page to try to document some information that I think will be helpful for the rollout of our new iPads. I hope that everyone will read this and add information and suggestions and make edits.


 * How do we articulate the goals of this project?**

Students and teachers must have training before using them.
 * Training:**

Loaner program for teachers first two weeks?

summer training - teachers take home for 2 weeks after the class.

No food/drinks near iPads IPad stays on desk – students move to iPad Carry with two hands The iPad screen is fragile Don’t lean on the iPad Don’t place anything on/near the iPad that could put pressure on the screen Don’t bump the iPad against walls, doors, lockers etc
 * Students:**

iPads counted and cart must be locked when not in use Make sure all iPads are plugged in so they will charge and update sign out sheet on cart so we know which students have used which iPads
 * Teachers:**



Terminology


 * AUP** - do we need one that is specific to the iPads or should we review the existing AUP?

Document how to use basic functions - On/Off volume microphone Home button

Printing

Moving Documents

Changes that happen when you transfer iWork items to iPad

How will we label them? Stickers, engrave, colors

iPads will come with a standard set of apps – **what should be included on this list?**
