Internet access is managed with industry standard content filtering tools, as required by the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA), that limit access to undesirable content. While content filtering software cannot guarantee all undesirable content is blocked, teachers and staff make every effort to monitor online activity during school hours. OKCPSwill be implementing a new internet filtering software called Lightspeed, which blocks inappropriate content from OKCPS mobile devices even when they are on non-OKCPS networks, such as a home or public WiFi network. This limits student access to inappropriate content. All traffic to and from an OKCPS device is subject to monitoring and logging, but Lightspeed does not affect other devices on a home or public network.

All installed apps must follow the Responsible Use Policy as well as other district policies. Students are able to install apps from the custom OKCPS App Portal on the iPad. Students are not allowed to download and install apps from other websites or app stores. OKCPS reserves the right to remove an inappropriate app and/or student apps that may be using valuable space needed for educational activities. Students who download apps from sources other than the OKCPS App Portal will receive behavior consequences in accordance with the OKCPS Student Code of Conduct.

OKCPShas provided access to hundreds of apps through our OKCPS App Portal: 

• Provide a rich, engaging learning experience. 

• Are appropriate for a PreK-2 school environment. 

• Have controls and navigation that are user-friendly. 

• Have limited advertising 

• Are supportive of OKCPS racial equity practices. 

• Have data privacy policies that restrict the use of student information. 

For a complete list of apps or questions contact OKCPS IT Services at 587-HELP

Devices are district property. OKCPS staff members can access the internet history, photos, and other information on the mobile device at any time. Students are required to unlock the mobile device upon request of district staff. If you don't  unlock the mobile device when asked, you may receive behavior consequences in accordance with the OKCPSStudent Code of Conduct.

The iPad has cameras on the front and back and a built-in microphone, so students can take pictures and record audio and video. The Chromebook also has a front-facing camera and a built-in microphone. All recordings and pictures created with the mobile device are subject to OKCPS policies as well as state and federal laws. Only take photographs or record audio or video during the school day if a teacher or administrator tells you to do it for schoolwork. Never photograph, record video, or create an audio recording of another person without that person's knowledge or permission.

The sound on your mobile device must be muted at all times unless your teacher tells you it is okay to turn the sound on for a class activity. Your teacher might also give you permission to use earbuds or earphones. If this happens, be sure the volume is low enough that the iPad cannot be heard by anyone nearby.

Printing will be unavailable on mobile devices. Rather, students are encouraged to use OKCPS Google Drive to share documents and files with their teachers whenever possible. This supports college/career readiness for students and will help schools save on paper/toner costs.

Do not attempt to gain access to internal electronics or repair your mobile device. If the mobile device fails to work or is damaged, contact your teacher or school staff to report the problem to the Service Desk as soon as possible. Mobile device repair/replacement options will be determined by the Service Desk staff. If the mobile device is experiencing technical difficulties outside of school hours, you will need to wait until you return to school to report it.
