Learning Target I can use my iPad to stay organized as a student. Success Criteria: – I can access my files via WebDAV. – I can add an event to my calendar. – I can create a reminder. – I can create categories in GoodNotes

What are some common reasons you’ve seen for not turning in schoolwork? My dog ate it! I lost my paper on the bus. I couldn’t find the directions. It was in my backpack earlier, I promise!

The iPads are a tool that can help you stay organized and turn in work electronically. Brainstorm: What could be some of its benefits? – No more lost papers! – No more broken pencils or smudged & crumpled papers! – All your work is automatically saved in one spot! – You can set reminders to study or complete your assignments! – Your teachers will know that you turned in your work on time!

In order to avoid…

…Let’s start!

WebDAV Navigator+ What is WebDAV? It allows you access to your network “My Documents” folder as well as any class shared folders. How will I use it? To turn in work, open assignments from teachers, or create back-up copies of important files.

Backing-up your files Remember some files on your iPad are automatically saved to your iPad only! If it is something you don’t want to lose, back it up on WebDAV. Before syncing your iPad, always back up your files to WebDAV.

Navigating WebDAV When you open WebDAV, you will see “My Documents” and your shared school folder. Open Shared Folder When you open your shared folder, you have several choices Select Classes To save files to backup or use later on a PC, save to “My Documents.” To download or upload assignments, open your shared folder.

Using the Shared Folder in WebDAV Returned work from teacher to you. Choose your teacher’s folder. “Turn-In Box” for your class. You can see other student assignments here. Download assignments from your teacher Individual folder for work; other students can’t see.

Saving Pictures in WebDAV 3. Select the picture icon; Choose Cameral Roll. 4. Select Picture and give it a file name. 1. Make sure picture is saved to Camera Roll 2. To upload pictures, open WebDAV and then choose the folder you’d like to save the picture.

Saving other Files in WebDAV For files other than pictures, it will be different depending on the Application. In most cases, you will export the document using the share icon. When selecting shared icon, you will either choose “WebDAV” or “Other App” to upload your document.
