//This introductory session will focus on understanding the basic iPad functions, purchasing apps and resources. // //[] //New iOS 5.0 Upgrade Ray just put on all of your iPads.
 * Purpose of Session **
 * iPad Handout (People to thank are Marty, Ray, Rick and Jenny) **
 * General Guidelines: **
 * No personal ID information, settings or purchasing of apps.
 * No bumping of apps with another iPad.
 * //On an editorial note //: We need to consider the professional usage of the iPad at school, home and community. When you are using apps (applications) consider the ramifications regarding your overall goals for your students, as well as, the **//Public Relations//** messages that weare **sending to parents, fellow staff** **members and community members **. Marty has given us a wonderful addition to our tool box for helping our students learn. Since the iPads are a new strategy and expensive our successes in how we use them will be paired with how we are able to access technology in the future. Do a “Gut” Check. You can usually reply upon it. If you are questioning the use of something opt to do something else.
 * Rules for Students **
 * No touching unless they ask
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Use finger tips
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Have clean hands
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">No carrying or limited carrying (with two hands) of iPad
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">If iPad should fall and it cracks be mindful that this is glass and only the teacher should carefully handle to prevent injury
 * <span style="color: #76923c; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 19px;">Teacher Considerations **
 * **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Theft – this is a desirable device **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">. Don’t leave iPad in open sight when leaving your room. Lock up in a secure place or lock your door.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">If iPad is lost or stolen email Raymond Pitzka immediately. Find iPhone App.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">You will be making your **TEACHER** iPad more secure by putting in a //security code// to lock access to your iPad when you are not using it.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Go to Settings icon.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Tap general.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Tap passcode Lock.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Tap turn passcode on.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Type a four number passcode. And type it again when prompted.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Set how long your iPad can be idle before your passcode is required to unlock it.


 * <span style="color: #76923c; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 19px;">Structures of iPad and Functions **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">On-Off Button (Lock-Unlock) (Wake/Sleep)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Turn you iPad on by holding down the On button at the top right hand corner of your iPad.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Generally you will not need to use this button much as the iPad goes to a “sleep” mode when it is not in use for awhile or when your covers on placed on the screen.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">To wake your iPad all you have to do is push the Home button and slide the prompt over to unlock.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">However, sometimes you will want to turn it off using the On-Off button. For example, I have found that something downloading and updating can get stuck in the installation mode and turning and on the iPad can be helpful. There may be other times as well.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Home Button
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Camera Icon

 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Taking Screen Shots
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">(Simultaneously hold down the On button and Home button). This screen shot will be saved in your Photos icon or app
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Microphone (middle of top edge of your iPad)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Side Switch (May be Lock feature for rotation or mute. To set this: – go to settings – general – Use Side Switch to - Lock Rotation or Mute)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Rotation lock also to the left of the multitasking bar.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Locking rotation is the icon on the left of the bottom of the page. Sound and brightness are sliders on the bar.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">At bottom home row
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Safari
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Mail
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Photos
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Music
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Headphone/microphone jack: use classroom speaker system
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Docking port for charging, syncing, external keyboard, external speakers and other devices.
 * **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Syncing – No syncing at this time. No Connection of USB cables to a computer at home or at work. Don’t connect to itunes. **
 * **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Update apps from your iPad. **
 * **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">When WiFi syncing is an option you will receive instructions then. ****<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 19px;">Do not sync or connect a USB cable to any computer!!!!! **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Battery
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">You will need to charge the built in battery. You charge it by connect the USB dock connector and a power adapter to an outlet. Let it sit to receive a full charge. When you need to recharge it will depend upon how much you use it. A charge should last 10 hours or so. So if you use it rarely it could last a month if you use it all day it would last a day.
 * **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Understand that a rechargeable battery’s life is defined by how many times it is charged and it won’t last forever. **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Saving Battery life
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Settings – Brightness & Wallpaper
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Multi-task Bar – Close open apps
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Housekeeping
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Cleaning Official information from Apple:
 * <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Disconnect your Apple product from any external power sources.
 * <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Use only a soft, lint-free cloth, microfiber type cloth – like your eye glass cloth. (We are adding slightly damp) Abrasive cloths, towels, paper towels, and similar items may cause damage to the iPad. Make sure not moisture gets in the openings of the iPad.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">The iPad Screen coating is designed to repel oil. That may be why finger prints show up so quickly on the screen. You can easily wipe them off with the lint-free cloth and have the iPad screen looking new and clean again.
 * **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">DO NOT ** <span style="color: #595959; font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline;"> use window cleaners. These can damage the oleophobic coating on the iPad screen and reduce the functionality of the iPad over time
 * <span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline;">Wipe the iPad in a circular motion and be sure that no sand, dirt, or dust is on the cloth used to whip the screen.
 * **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Functions **
 * **<span style="color: green; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">WiFi (Your iPad is already set to be able to utilize the Wi-Fi Feature.) **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Ray has your iPad set to receive the Wi-Fi hotspots in our district. It searches until it finds one. Ray has set the default to allow us to use the Grafton Wi-Fi hotspots.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">But it is good to understand how this works so:
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Go to settings on the Home Page
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Click on WiFi. You will see that Wi-Fi is **ON** and that the default is **Faculty.** And the Ask to Join Networks is **ON** as well.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">If you have a home network and the above settings are in place, you will be prompted from your own network to choose a network or input your network under other as well as type in your password.
 * **<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Joining a Wi-Fi network in the community **
 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">When the iPad is joined to a Wi-Fi network, the Wi-Fi icon in the status bar at the top of the screen shows signal strength.
 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">You can go to <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">[|www.google.com] <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;"> and search for Free Wi-Fi Hotspots, followed by your zip code. There are many other sources to find hotspots as well.
 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Some establishments may require you to purchase something or pay for time for the privilege of using the hotspot. So inquire about the rules.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Some Apps you will need to have WiFi Connection to work or work to their fullest capabilities: such as Google Earth, Maps, BrainPop, Dragon, Safari, Mail, App Store, Game Center, FaceTime, etc. Consider this when ordering paid Apps and how you would be able to utilize that App.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">We are looking to add WiFi to all buildings over Christmas break.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Know the location for WiFi in your buildings

This one covers most of the library and a few of the regular ed rooms in that area. With the construction of this building there are a few other areas that the wireless might reach to depending on the quality of the network card in the device.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">JLMS: Most of the building.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">GHS: Outside the library and 2nd floor math area

 * **//<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Important note from RAY: If a teacher uses their own appleid to download apps or hook up their iPad to their own computer via iTunes, they will potentially lose their applications. //**
 * **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">How to install App Updates **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">. You will know that an update is waiting for an App because a number will appear on the App Store icon, and you’ll see a number on the Updates. If it’s an app you use and the update is free, you have nothing to lose. If it’s an app you never use, it’s probably better to delete the app altogether.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Touch the App Store icon
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Touch the Updates tab or Update all. It will have a number on it if updates are available.
 * **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Making ****<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">in-App ****<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">purchases: **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Presently this is not possible within the School App Store Volume Purchase Program
 * **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">To remove or delete Apps: **
 * **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Touch and hold the App icon until the icons start to “wiggle” **
 * **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Click the X that appears on the app **
 * **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Click Delete to verify you want to delete the app. **
 * **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Press the Home button to stop the icons from “wiggling.” **
 * **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">To make restrictions about who can delete apps (from Jenny Callaway’s Blog): **
 * <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Have you ever had an app that was deleted by accident? This can easily happen, especially if multiple students are using an iPad. Here is how you can prevent that from happening.
 * 1) <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Go to Settings, make sure you are under the General category (along left side of menu).
 * 2) <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Select 'Restrictions' (about the 5th menu bubble down from the top).
 * 3) <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">You will be prompted to enter a passcode, if this is your first time doing this...pick a 4 digit number that you will remember.
 * 4) <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Look down to 'Deleting Apps'...switch the slider button to OFF (yes it must be OFF).
 * 5) <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Apps can NOT be deleted now! When you hold an app down to put them into jiggle mode, there will no longer be the option to delete it.
 * **<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">(But) **<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Now how do you delete it? Just reverse the process. Go into Settings, select Restrictions, enter your passcode, and switch the slider button to YES under Deleting Apps. This will let you delete apps again. Make sure to go back and disable this feature though when you are <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;"> finished deleting apps before letting students use the iPad again!

This is focused on autism but many of the issues transfer to other areas as well.

 * <span style="color: #76923c; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 19px;">So many apps. How do I organize? Make folders. ****<span style="color: #76923c; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">(From Jenny Callaway’s Blog) **
 * 1) <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Click and hold one app until all of the apps 'jiggle'...this means they are in a 'move' format.
 * 2) <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Drag one app on top of another (pick another similar app, ex: drag Talking Tom on to another talking animal game)
 * 3) <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">A folder will open. If you click on the white bubble with the group name, a keyboard pops up and you can edit the name.
 * 4) <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">You can drag apps from page to page when they are in the 'jiggle' mode. You can also drag apps out of a category if you change your mind...again, they MUST be in the 'jiggle' mode.
 * 5) <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Another note: (Her) son has been known to delete apps (when they are in the 'jiggle' mode). (Her) husband also deserves credit for helping (her) here...he went into 'Settings' (grey gears app), go under 'general', select 'restrictions', select 'enable restrictions', enter a 4-digit passcode (make sure it's one you can remember!), turn OFF 'deleting apps'. The next time you return, just go to:Settings---general---deleting apps---enter 4 digit #---turn off or on 'deleting apps'.**Note of caution: Just remember that when you remove the delete restriction and the apps are in jiggle mode, do NOT press the x button unless you intend to delete that app!!!! There is a question prompt that appears to make sure that you intend to delete the app...but still, just a caution.**
