HOW CAN YOU HELP PREPARE STUDENTS FOR TURNING IN THEIR DEVICES?
- Purge unwanted files: This is as important as locker clean up! Take 10 minutes one day to allow students to delete unnecessary content (especially photos and videos). In Gallery, students can open the camera, download and screenshot folders, tap the three stacked boxes in the upper right and select items to delete.
- Back up wanted files: Although rising 7th and 8th graders will receive their tablet back, it is unclear what might happen to their tablets or their status as a student at this school. Students can use OneDrive to back up their documents directly from the tablet. This is a great option for ALL students (especially rising high-schoolers) as students will have their OneDrive accounts through 12th grade. See videos below about how-to back up files in OneDrive. If you rather send these videos to students' tablets (via your playlist), just ask me for the mp4 version!

Students will NOT be charged for stylus or earbuds. Students can pay for any associated fees with Mrs. Bonomo.
