iPad 'Do' List'

DO set up "Find my iPad"

Doing so will allow you to locate your iPad if it is misplaced.

DO Charge and Sync your iPad overnight

We want you to get the most out of your iPad while at school. Therefore, you need to make sure that you have a full battery when you arrive in the morning. Remember to do a complete sync to your home computer each night or backup to iCloud. This way, you will always have an up-to-date backup of your iPad in the unlikely event that you will need to restore your data.

DO Keep the cover on your iPad

Be sure to keep your iPad safe at all times. For example, the folio-type case is designed to be kept in place while you work and while you sync or charge your iPad.

DO Lock your iPad in a Locked Locker

iPads can easily go missing if you do not have a lock for your Locker.

DO Report any damage to your iPad

We will not get angry, accidents happen! We want you to be working as effectively as you can on an iPad and will help you to get up and running as soon as we can.

DO Have some unused iTunes credit in your account

There may be occasions where your subject teachers ask you to purchase content for your iPad. This process may be done at home, or at school. Be sure that you have some unused iTunes credit in this event.

DO Use your iPad in accordance with the Acceptable Use of Learning Technologies Policy

An electronic copy can be found on the Unley High School website and within the Mobile Learning in the Middle School - Program Rationale section of this course. You will be asked to sign this document before you are permitted to access Learning Technologies on the school grounds.

iPad 'Don't' List

DON'T Leave your iPad unattended or in an Unlocked Locker

Make sure that you keep your iPad locked away and secure when not in use. This avoids the risk that your iPad will get misused or stolen.

DON'T Put your iPad in a humid environment

Do not use your iPad to listen to music while in the shower. Treat it as you would any other electrical device. iPads do not like extremely hot or cold temperatures.

DON'T Place your iPad in between other books

Your iPad is a fragile device. Placing it inbetween heavy books and folders will cause damage.

DON'T Place your iPad insecurely on top of a pile of other things

Your iPad is valuable. Placing it on top of a pile you are carrying is insecure. If you have doubt ... go without! Make two trips.

DON'T Connect your iPad to the school computers

Connecting your iPad to a school computer will wipe your iPad and make it useless. You will have to take your iPad home and restore from a back-up before you will be able to use it again.

DON'T Access more than 1 iTunes account on your iPad

iPads are intended as single-user devices. Only have one iTunes account registered per iTunes Library to avoid Apps and other content being deleted from your iPad.

DON'T 'jailbreak' your iPad

Doing so, instantly negates your iPad warranty. It also places the school's network at risk. Should you 'jailbreak' your iPad, you will be banned from accessing the school's network until such time as your iPad is restored to factory settings.
