Tech Tidbits: New iPads
The most beautiful thing about these iPads is I can download & push apps in as short as 3 minutes! I download on JAMF (a configuration software) and it downloads over BYOT in seconds! If you have an app request, email me the name & I'll take care of everything for you!
ClassLink is a linked in the Dock at the bottom of the screen. It is the gold FCS icon. The important thing is students must log off ClassLink when they're finished using the iPad! Have fun!
TECH Tidbits: UNITY
The county has asked that all staff restart their computers at least once a week. This helps with necessary software updates. Fridays are highly recommended!
Kim Lochbaum will be here on Wednesday, from 8:30 to 12:00 in Emmert's office if you have any School City or technology questions.
