=Procedures for CMCSS IPads=


 * ===Usernames===

and Passwords
|| **__*Teachers should NOT link a school iPad to his/her PERSONAL Apple ID.__**

Each iPad will be linked to an Apple ID that was created for the school. With few exceptions, the same username and password will be used for all iPads within a building.

//** See Shannon for Password **//
 * Example 1:**
 * bmes.student@cmcss.net**

//**See Shannon for Password**//
 * Example 2: **
 * ces.student@cmcss.net **

1. **Free Apps –**
 * Passwords are NOT to be given to STUDENTS. ||
 * ** Purchasing and Loading of Apps ** || = CLICK HERE FOR THE MOST RECENT PROCEDURES FOR APP LOADING =
 * Teachers can load the free apps using the school Username and Password. (above)
 * If free Apps are to be loaded on an entire lab of iPads, it is preferred that a work order for the loading of Apps be submitted with the App information and the iPad numbers on which they will be loaded. The Technology Department will load those remotely.
 * [[image:Purchasing apps.jpg width="551" height="470" align="left"]]
 * Your Bookkeeper will need to turn in a work order to have the app you want installed on all ipads in the lab.
 * Joe Hall III will then install it remotely from his office.
 * Then the teacher will need to go to the ipad lab and press install to accept the app and put in the password.

2. **Paid Apps –**


 * Teachers will request Paid apps through the bookkeeper.
 * Bookkeepers will purchase vouchers from Apple per district procedure. (Bookkeeper’s may contact Chris Mahoney for training)
 * Once vouchers are received, the Bookkeepers will place a work order for loading of Apps, with the Apple excel spreadsheet of codes attached and the specific iPad numbers on which they will be loaded.
 * The Technology Department will load the apps remotely.
 * Then the teacher will need to go to the ipad lab and press install with the password to complete the installation of the app on all the ipads.

3. **iTunes Cards –** SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR SCHOOL APPS ||
 * **Allowing Remote APP Loading** || * When Apps are loaded remotely, a Window will appear on the iPads that require accepting.
 * Users with iPads will see a pop-up window and should choose “Install” and will show “meraki.com” as the sender.
 * It will require the user to enter the school password.
 * The teacher will enter the password on one or two iPads and click “Install.” The remaining iPads should allow clicking of “Install” without requiring the password. *Students are not to be given the password.
 * iPads that are not in use at the time of the remote installation will show the pop-up window the next time they are turned on.
 * If a teacher or student accidentally clicks “Cancel,” the Technology Department can identify which iPads have not been loaded and can resend the App. ||
 * **Security** || * iPads will be connected to the district Wifi and will be subject to the same filtering and monitoring process as other devices.
 * Teachers must still use caution and monitor student use, as not all negative items from the internet can be filtered.
 * Teachers should also use caution when choosing Apps (particularly free apps) that show ads. If the ads that appear within an App prove to be inappropriate or highly distracting, the App should be deleted.
 * The settings currently require a 12+ or younger rating for an App to be downloaded.
 * Teachers should maintain the same high standard of accountability that is used with laptops from the mobile labs. The iPads are small enough to be easily removed from a building, thus teachers should make sure that all iPads are accounted for and returned to secure storage.
 * The Acceptable Use Policy signed by teachers and students applies to the iPads, as with all other district devices. ||
 * **Management** || * The Technology Department will monitor and manage the iPads remotely.
 * When needed, Network Technicians will come to the building for management purposes. (set-up, loading, etc.)
 * //**The iPads will have an Admin folder that will house Apps that should not be used, modified or deleted.**//
 * //**Settings**//
 * //**Email**//
 * //**Meraki**//
 * Within Settings, there are several loaded profiles. Neither teachers nor students should delete the loaded profiles. ||
 * **Embedded Email** || * All iPads are linked to a generic school email account to allow for OUTGOING email from within Apps.
 * Students can click on Send or Share by email to send photos, short video clips, and products they create within Apps to their teacher’s email or their own email.
 * ** For identification purposes, train students to put their names or student numbers, along with the titles of the items, in the subject lines of the outgoing email. ** ||
