1 to1 iPad program Guide

Grade 3 to 6 - 2020

Richmond Primary School

Congratulations on getting your new device! We ask each family to set up their new iPad to connect via the family’s home iTunes account. You will also need to download Apps from the app list (see pages 4 and 5). Please see below for more details. iTunes accounts

It is a requirement of Apple that a person must be over 13 years of age to have an iTunes account.

It is recommended that parents purchase an iTunes card to set up the iTunes account to avoid using a credit card.

It is recommended that parents set up the iTunes account to their email, so they will be aware of any purchases made through the iTunes store.

Students will not be required to access the family’s iTunes account at school. Parents can determine if children have access to the iTunes account password at home.

It is recommended that students back up their iPad through iTunes a minimum of once a week to avoid the loss of content. (see later section in booklet for more information)

Apps

All iPads must contain the school required apps. (see later section)

A minimum of 32Gb of space – after the installation of apps - must remain available for school use.

Personal / family apps must allow enough space for school requirements – 32Gb.

Any software added at home must be licensed and G Rated.

If the iPad needs to be synced or updated the school takes no responsibility for lost files or software. These will need to be restored at home.

Pirated software or media will be seen as a breach of the agreement with the school and the device may be re-imaged as a result.

Jail broken iPads will not be supported by the school.

Setting Up iPad WIFI To set up iPad, turn it on and follow the Setup Assistant. The onscreen directions in Setup Assistant step you through the setup process, including:

Connecting to a Wi-Fi network Signing in with or creating a free Apple ID Setting up iCloud Turning on recommended features, such as Location Services and Find My iPad

Choosing an iOS backup method (Should I use iTunes or iCloud to back up my iOS device?) Curious about how to best back up your iPad? Is iTunes Backup or iCloud Backup the best solution for you? Each backup method has its own advantages. For most users, iCloud Backup is the recommended solution as described below.

When is iCloud Backup the best choice for me? iCloud Backup provides an easy and reliable backup solution for users who want to back up their iOS devices wirelessly and automatically without tethering to a computer. iCloud Backup is best for you if:

You prefer that iCloud take care of backups for you automatically when your device is connected to Wi-Fi and power.

You want to restore data to your device from almost anywhere via a broadband Wi-Fi connection. You don’t connect your iOS device to a Mac or PC very frequently. You don’t own a Mac or PC. You would like an automatic backup solution to use in conjunction with iTunes Backup (see below).

Note: iCloud Backup does not back up music, movies, and TV shows that you did not purchase from the iTunes Store, or any podcasts, audio books, or photos that you originally synced from your computer. iCloud Backup will restore your purchased music, movie, and app content from the iTunes and App Stores during the background restore process. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store.

When is iTunes Backup the best choice for me? iTunes Backup is traditionally how users have backed up their iOS devices, and it continues to serve the needs of many users. iTunes Backup is best for you if:

You frequently use the computer that hosts your iTunes Backups. You don't have an iCloud account or don't want to use iCloud. The photos and videos saved in your device’s Camera Roll regularly exceed 1 GB in size or you tend to have

very large backups. You want on-site and networked backups. You would like a manual or secondary backup solution to use in conjunction with iCloud Backup (see below).

Note: Keep in mind that iTunes Backup does not create a duplicate back up of your movies, music, podcasts, and apps.

- Managing your iPad

School Responsibilities Your child’s iPad will be configured to access the school’s network. With this in place, it is imperative that there is joint responsibility between the students, parents and the school in the iPad 1 to 1 program, particularly for those students using their own devices. The school year has commenced with all students participating in our ‘Values’ unit. This program provides an induction into the program for all students. This unit will explain student responsibilities and set protocols for involvement. As part of this unit students will undertake lessons and activities that focus on e-safety and e-security.

e-security

All iPads will be registered with the school. Registration will involve a record of: o Student’s name o Student’s grade o iPad serial number

Regular network (history searches) and remote desktop searches may occur to monitor internet use.

Students do not have access to the iTunes store, YouTube or other social networking sites on personal devices at school.

Security

The Grade 5/6 Learning Zone has a filing cabinet installed for the specific purpose of storing student iPads during the day. The cabinet is fitted with suitable suspension files – individually labelled.

Before school students are supervised to enter the classroom (from 8.30am) to ‘drop’ their iPad in the filing cabinet.

At recess and lunchtimes iPads are returned to the filing cabinet and all classroom doors are locked.

At OSHC (before or after school) the students are directed to leave their devices stored securely inside the OSHC Office rather than the bag area.

Students must not leave their school bag / iPad unattended after school.

We require any pass code lock on iPads to be removed for initial set up by our technician.

Internet

Use of the internet is governed by the school’s ‘Acceptable Internet Use’ code of conduct and contract that students and parents agree to for use of ICT within the school. A copy will be sent home when the program begins.

Appropriate use of the internet within the school network is closely monitored by a filtering system that allows for inappropriate content to be blocked.

Remote desktop searches allow for the monitoring of web browser histories to ensure inappropriate use of the internet is detected. Random checks will occur.

Any inappropriate use of the internet is unacceptable and is subject to disciplinary action, with possible exclusion from the program.

If a student is downloading excessive amounts of data parents will be informed; restrictions will be put in place and charges may be forwarded.

Resources and information for parents is available at:

http://www.cybersmart.gov.au

www.amf.org.au/eSmarthomes www.netalert.net.au

Web 2.0

Students will have access to Web 2.0 applications where appropriate educational opportunities are available.

Within Victoria the DEECD provides access to wikis and blogs that support students and their learning, and these are the only sites supporting this work in the classroom.

Email At this stage students will not have their iPads set up for email. When all security issues have been considered

and resolved email access may be considered.

Printing

In many cases students will use other media for the display and presentation of their work.

We anticipate that students will use very little printing at school.

When necessary students will have access to black and white printing.

Insurance

Insurance is the responsibility of the owner.

Technical support

The school employs IT technicians to support the 1 to 1 iPad program at school.

Students will seek technical support through their classroom teacher.

All warranty issues for personally owned iPads are to be addressed through individual suppliers.

- Managing Your BYOD iPad Family Responsibilities

e-security

At the parent information evening many aspects of e-safety and e-security will have been detailed.

All parents will be required to agree in writing to the school’s e-Smart policies and internet agreements.

No media held on the iPad is to contain explicit language or inappropriate themes.

Care & maintenance

The student must maintain and care for the iPad (see later section)

The iPad must come to school each day in full working order: Fully charged - students will not have access to charging facilities at school With its cover School required apps installed System software – correct version - installed

Internet

At home families may decide to provide broadband internet connection. This is a family responsibility. Please check the link for more information.

Caring For The iPad Screen The screen is made out of glass but it has a special oleophobic coating in order to protect it from fingerprints. Officially, it means that it’s oil resistant. It is important to take good care of the screen to get the most out of the coating. Here are some ways to protect your iPad screen.

Don’t drop it on hard surfaces. It is glass and it can break. Clean the screen with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Do not clean it with window cleaners, glass cleaners, aerosol sprays, abrasives, or alcohol.

You can also use a screen protector. These are not for everyone but they do work for the care of the iPad screen.

Caring For Your Batteries Part of caring for your iPad means caring for the batteries. The batteries in your iPad are lithium polymer (rechargeable) and they will eventually wear out. It will take a long time before that happens, but there are some things you can do to care for your batteries and get the most out of them.

Make sure you keep up on the latest iPad updates. This sounds odd but Apple will sometimes make adjustments to software which helps with drain on resources and battery life.

Go through one charge cycle per month. To do this all you have to do is charge the iPad to 100% and then run it completely out.

Caring For Your iPad: Environmental There are also a few environmental ways to care for your iPad. Some of these are obvious while a few are not so obvious.

Keep the iPad out of heat for an extended length of time Keep the iPad out of cold for an extended period of time Keep it out of water or extremely humid locations Do not dry it with an external heat source, hair dryer.

It should also go without saying that part of caring for your iPad is to make sure you do not insert anything into the port connections other than the intended peripherals. Jamming things into the port connectors could render it unusable (and void the warranty).

External Protection Protecting the outside of the iPad is part of caring for your device. You will want to get a case in order to keep it safe while travelling or just for everyday use.

- Frequently Asked Questions for BYOD families

How will the iPad be looked after? By who?

The iPad will be seen as your child’s responsibility, not yours and not the schools.

Covers for the iPad will provide some protection, however, the way the iPad is treated is the most important factor.

Students will be trained in looking after their iPad, but then need to do so.

At school, iPads are kept in a storage unit for easy access. They are not stored in desks or school bags. Classrooms will be locked.

iPads should be stored inside their schoolbag travelling to and from school so as to not attract attention. Who will recharge the iPad?

As part of their homework students will need to charge their iPad at home each night. We will not have the facility to charge multiple iPads.

Who will repair the iPad if it gets broken?

Families will need to contact Apple to manage all hardware issues.

Synching the iPad will resolve most issues – this is why we ask that iPads are backed up weekly. Technical support for apps added at home is not part of the program.

How will data be backed up?

Students and families are responsible for backup. The school is unable to backup multiple devices. Who will pay for printing and Internet downloads?

At school, we will carry the costs for printing and filtered Internet downloads in 2020. If a student is downloading excessive amounts of data, restrictions will be put in place and charges may be forwarded.

At home, families may decide to provide a broadband Internet connection or not. This is a family responsibility. We cannot provide home set up assistance.

Will we be able to add apps?

Yes, this will be an option, however, software must be licensed and G Rated. If the iPad needs to be restored to factory setting the school takes no responsibility for lost files or software. These will need to be restored at home. Pirated software or media will be seen as a breach of the agreement with the school and the device may be reimaged as a result. No ‘jail-broken’ iPads will be supported on the school network.

What if my child forgets his iPad at home?

If there is a spare device available he/she may be able to borrow it – this is usually a laptop.
