iPad Usage Reports-Due by Nov. 14
Second Marking Period Reports Due (Sept. 30 - Nov. 3)
Please submit your iPad usage report via FormSpace in Eduphoria. We ask that each staff member who has an iPad complete an iPad usage report each marking period to let us know how the iPads are being used and what support we need to provide. This form can be found in FormSpace. Click on submit new form and then look in the technology folder for the report. We ask that you be honest with how you are using the iPad in class so that we can better assist you with training and support. If you have any questions or need assistance with submitting your iPad report, please let us know.
iOS 8 Update
A few reminders about your district issued iPad:
1. If you cannot update your iPad due to space limitations, etc. try deleting videos, photos, and even apps to free up storage for the software update.
2. Make sure you are logged into iCloud with your personal Apple ID, not the district account (cto@chisd.net) and make sure your photos and documents have been backed up in the cloud or that you have personally backed them up using a transfer app or emailing files to yourself.
3. Reminder to keep your iPad secure at all times. We have had a number of iPads reported stolen recently.
One more thing to take note of, you will not be able to update any apple device (district or personal) from school as the site is blocked. Some of you may remember that with the release of iOS 7 many networks nationwide including our own crashed. We have blocked the site so that our bandwith will not slow down our network and we can conduct business as usual.
