Brainstorm How will you ensure your iPad stays safe & secure?

Hooray! You get an iPad. Now what? You and your iPad will soon be spending a lot of time together. The following slides describe the ways in which you should treat the iPad carefully so it’s always safe & secure.

Should you keep it in its case?  Yes, keep your iPad in its case at all times.  Secure the corner straps when it’s not in use.  Keep the case in its original condition; stickers or writing are not allowed as decorations. Sorry!

How will you know which one is yours?  Personalize your lock screen with a picture of yourself & your name.  The iPad will be checked out to you via the barcode, just like a textbook. Do not tear this barcode off or destroy in any way.

Passcodes  The passcode is the code you set to unlock the iPad.  It’s recommended you keep this as a 4-digit number.  If you forget your passcode, do not try repeated attempts to unlock.  Instead, bring the iPad to your building Tech Assistant to have it reset & to prevent losing your files.

Can your iPad get lonely?  Yes, so do NOT leave it unattended!  Keep the iPad in your possession.  Do not loan it to your baby sister, cousin’s best friend, your neighbor’s aunt, or even your classmate who wants to take it down the hall. You are ultimately responsible for its safety & security.  Storing the iPad in a car is NOT a secure location.

Where should you keep your iPad?  When traveling to/from class & school, carefully place it in your backpack or securely hold it with the corner straps in place.  Store it on top of your desk/table while in the classroom.  Do not set the iPad on the floor, as it is more likely to get stepped on or scratched.

What if your iPad is missing? 1.Immediately check your surroundings & retrace your steps. 2.Immediately check to see if its location is available. 1.Use the Find My iPhone app or log in at icloud.com on a computer. 3.If it’s not located, immediately notify an adult at school & fill out the missing iPad report.

Where should you keep your iPad? Avoid extreme heat, cold, or liquids.

How should you keep it clean?  Use a soft, microfiber cloth, tissue, or even your t-shirt sleeve to clean the screen.  Do not use harsh chemicals or cleaners.  Use care when consuming liquids or eating food nearby. Your iPad does not like Cheeto hands!

What if the iPad gets damaged?  Do not try and fix it yourself.  Immediately go to your building Tech Assistant for help; do not keep using the iPad.  If you have a VPS Assurance for iPad policy, the fine will be waived. If not, you will be responsible for the fine to repair the iPad.  Your iPad could be out for repair for a number of weeks.

What about charging?  When fully charged, your battery will last around 12 hours.  It is YOUR responsibility to bring the iPad charged to school each day.  Suggestion: Plug in your iPad overnight in a place where you will remember to grab it the next morning!

What about charging? A lost charger brick and cable are NOT covered by Assurance. –If these are lost, you need to pay to replace them. –You can purchase an Apple brand one here at school or replace it with an Apple brand one bought from the store. If it stops working? –Bring it to the library to be replaced. $19

What if you forget your iPad at home? Loaner iPads will not be provided if you forget yours at home or if it’s not charged. You are still responsible for all assignments, but will have to use your iPaper and iPencil instead.

Forgetting to charge? Leaving iPad at home? The iPad Agreement states that students will: –Charge their 1:1 device at home nightly and bring it to school each day with a full charge (classrooms do not have the capacity to charge devices during the day). If you choose to not bring your iPad ready for school each day: –You may lose the privilege of having an iPad. –Repeated days of an uncharged or forgotten iPad will result in the iPad being taken away.
