D: What resources do I need to take part?
Please review this document.
E: Who can I ask for help?
If you need to ask for help about IT matters, connecting the iPad to your wireless or allowing the use of an app, you can attend our early sessions in 'the lobby'. These sessions are just for adults and are there to help you with any techy questions or worries. If you need help at other times, we have a fully staffed IT helpdesk. To ask for help, just send an email to support@elearningteam.zendesk.com and one of the team will be in touch.
F: What are the esafety rules?
Please review this document.
G: Training videos
Before you start...do you have...
A place where your child will not observe you putting in the codes and setting up the iPad. Do not share the codes or this setup with the child.
An iPad held in landscape mode (if you do not have a MML provided iPad, please let us know.)
The codes for your iPad (we gave them to you on the slip of paper on the iPad hand out day) (if you do not have a MML provided iPad, please let us know.)
It's a good idea if...
You watch the videos on one device (like your own phone or another laptop or tablet) so you can watch and follow on the iPad at the same time. This website address is mmlresources.uk
If you have someone else to work with you, it can sometimes help - 2 sets of eyes are better than one!
Video 1 - MML Hub - allowing access to the app store
Tip: Don't forget to have your passcodes to hand.
Video 2 - MML Hub - Adding the apps you need to take part
Tip: All of these apps are FREE to download. The apps are Webex meetings, Google Calendar and Google Drive.
Video 3 - MML Hub - The apps you will need
Tip: Don't worry about signing into Google Calendar and Google Drive. We will provide you with an email address and password to get access to the content in these apps.
Video 4 -MML Hub - allow changes to microphone
Step 5 - MML Hub - getting your video conference code for the lesson
We will email you the link to join the lesson and password each week. If you don't receive this, please ask our technical support team or email Dace.
Video 6 - MML Hub - getting into your video conference lesson
Tip: If you have accepted access to microphone and camera and these still don't seem to work, close down the app (double click home button then swipe app up to close it). Now open the Webex Meetings app again and things should be working.
Video 7 - MML Hub - Settings changes
Tip: Now add all the restrictions back to your iPad to make it safe again.
Video 8 - Limiting access to MML Hub apps
Tip: This is an optional step that doubles the security on your iPad by limiting access to these apps.
