Care+Handle+and+Access

What are some of the considerations we need to discuss in regards to care/handle of and access to the devices?

__Care and Handle__ (students' input)

Always carry it with both hands and be alert. Never run with an iPad in your hands. Don't carry the iPads in the hall, unless directed by the teacher. Don't work and walk at the same time. Don't take it out of the case. No food or drinks while you have an iPad on your desk. Delete your own content,once you get a permission. Don't delete other people's content, unless you get a permission. Delete content periodically to make sure we have space for new objects. Always obey digital citizenship rules.

__Access__ (students' input)

Go down the list and assign an iPad to 5 students at a time. iPads stay on the counter and you use it on a per need basis (ask a teacher). Instead of having 6 groups, let's have 5 so each group will have one device every day. Keep 6 groups, so one group will not have an ipad one day a week. Assign one iPad to two students at a time to share, so 10 will have access to a device on a given day. Rotate.

__Grade 6/7 First Week of Use__

A teacher drew 5 names of people to receive an iPad and they could choose two friends. Each group had time to explore certain specified apps and had to report back to the class on the app and how they could use it. Then they switched so that all students had exploration and reporting time.

__Headphones__

In a KDG/Primary class earbuds are not recommended. Instead, buy a set at Giant Tiger (Sylvenia) for $7.99.
