iPad Cart Information

Congrats on having your conferences over!!!

So now on to November!

I have finally posted the iPad sign out on Google Docs!

It is shared with you, but here is the link anyway!!!

IPAD SIGNOUT ON GOOGLE DOCS 

If you do put your name on the signout, please let us know if your plans change!

You may check the cart out for any length of time.

It works best to do half days so that you are able to find a time to come get it and return it!

PLEASE DO NOT have students transport the cart!

 While you all were busy with your conferences, I spent a considerable amount of time synching and organizing the apps so that each iPad should have a similar lay out on each window.

If you have any suggestions for great apps (especially Spanish Language) let me know and I will download them.

 

I am trying to resolve the issue of head phones for the cart.....so many of the apps have sound and when a whole class is using them it can get loud....

Any suggestions?.....the idea of sixteeen headsets all tangled up on the shelf inside the cart makes me crazy!!!!

Having them in baggies might work.....do you think that would be too cumbersome when you are managing the cart in your classroom?

HMMMM............

Anyway....the iPads await your clever instructional plans!!!!

New Log In Procedure for This year!

Change is GOOD.....Right?
Really you are gonna like this...I PROMISE!

After lots of discussion (complaining!!!) with the tech department, we came up with a solution to the very long logging in issues students faced last year in the computer lab.


This year.....things are gonna be different!!!




When you come to the lab...the computers will most often be logged in to the guest account!

If they are NOT...please have your students log in as a guest!

Log In Name:  guest account   (all lower case.....a space between the words)
There is NO PASSWORD....just leave that blank and continue to LOG IN!

When you leave the lab....DO NOT log the computers out!

WHY?

Most often kids do not need to access their accounts....they just need to use the computers for access to the internet!

There is no need to take the time to sync to their accounts!!!

This will be a real time saver for most computer activities!!!


If they DO need access to their accounts...there is a share point on the dock to the K-5 sever.
That is not active at this point....but I am promised that it will work within the week!

If you are coming to the lab to do something that you want your kids to save.....
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE...schedule this with me so that I can teach your kids the process!

The front lab is fully functional at this point and the back lab will be ready in a couple of days!!!!

The sign up schedule is the same as last year....

See you soon!

If you aren't on the list and think you would use one.....let me know and we will order one for you.
If you don't have a projector...it really doesn't make sense.......

Each camera has a box with a bar code....

Please stop at the front desk and check one out.  
Once you get your document camera....hook it up via the USB cable.
You have an application called P2V in your apps....open it and you can start using the camera!
