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?

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

Loaner program for teachers first
two weeks?

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

Students:
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

Teachers:
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



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?
