iPads-continue to monitor
Parents,
This week we had a class discussion about iPad games. We went through and deleted any non-academic games or widgets on our iPads. The main purpose of a control widget is to display often used functions that the user can trigger right from the home screen without having to open the app first. Think of them as remote controls for an app.Students were accessing games with these widgets during work time in class. We had a serious discussion about this and the students are clear of my expectations and the iLearn agreement rules. Please check your child's iPad and make sure that these apps and widgets remain deleted. It can be challenging to monitor 26 iPads, so your help is essential. Thank you for your help with this!
