Tips for Supervision

Students don’t need to use the iPad all the time at home.
Teenage children need their sleep, so we strongly suggest that the iPad is NOT TAKEN TO BED. For younger children, it is best that iPad's don't go in their bedrooms.
If you are experiencing problems, we recommend that you specify:
- Locations in the house the iPad can be used.
- Where it is to be stored when not in use (this can be the location for charging).
Whether children are allowed to install games and entertainment apps on their iPad is a family decision. (At school, students who make inappropriate use of iPads at school will be referred to their Year Coordinator (Secondary) or the ICLT Coordinator (Primary). Students may be asked to delete from their iPad content that is inappropriate for school.)

Have a look at what your child is viewing, listening to or playing via,
- Music- Click on the Music app to view the music library
- Videos- click on the videos app to view the video library
- Apps- scroll with your finger through the iPad desktop pages to view the apps

Before starting homework / study time, ask your child to:
- Close all irrelevant apps
- Close all irrelevant WWW pages in Safari
- If you are experiencing problems with your child/children being off-task while completing homework/ study time there is the option of setting up Guided Access. Guided Access helps the iPad user to stay focused on a task while using your iPad. Guided Access limits your device to a single app and lets you control which app features are available.
