Da. Potpuni detalji o programu osiguranja i upute o tome kako kupiti osiguranje mogu se pronaći ovdje .

Učenicima osnovne škole Minnetonka nije potreban Apple ID za školski iPad. Počevši od 6. razreda, učenici dobijaju školski Apple ID na koji se mogu prijaviti na svom iPadu uz pomoć svog medijskog stručnjaka. Učenici se ne bi trebali prijavljivati ​​na svoj školski iPad s ličnim Apple ID-om.

All students in Kindergarten through 12th grade are issued an iPad for educational use as part of our 1:1 iPad program. Students need to use the iPad provided by the District due to app licensing, instructional materials access, and management by our school's network and filters. Every classroom activity that requires technology may be completed on the school-issued device.

At Minnetonka High School, students may use a personal laptop or other personal electronic device before school, after school, at lunch time, during passing time, during open hours, and as a part of senior priviledges. 

Use of personal devices at school must:

• Pridržavajte se tehnoloških politika Distrikta
• Koristiti samo u obrazovne svrhe
• Ne smije stvarati smetnje ili poremećaje u okruženju za učenje

Predlažemo da sačekate s kupovinom eksterne tastature. Iz našeg iskustva, nakon nekoliko dana korištenja iPada, učenici se naviknu na tastaturu na ekranu. Međutim, svako je drugačiji i nekim učenicima bi korištenje eksterne tastature moglo koristiti. Nakon što učenici steknu osjećaj koliko im je udobno tipkati na iPadu, možete bolje odlučiti šta najbolje odgovara njihovim potrebama.

Using a stylus is a personal preference. Many students have discovered that a finger can be just as precise. Therefore we do not suggest purchasing a stylus until students get a feel for how comfortable they are writing on the iPad so they can decide what works best for their needs. If a stylus is preferred, there are many off brand stylus' that can be purchased for less than $10 that work just as well as a brand name stylus. 

Students use thier Minnetonka Google Apps school account and use Google Drive (educational version) for cloud storage with their iPad.

Yes. The school wireless networks have grown with the program to meet speed and capacity needs. All students may access the wireless network. The wireless network has the same filters the student computer network has and all District Acceptable Use policies apply to use of the wireless network.

Minnetonka teachers have the discretion of allowing or not allowing the use of the district iPad during instructional time based on the purpose with a clear instructional reason. The versatility of the iPad's touch screen and built in keyboard make it an ideal tool for all subjects, from art to Chinese to music to history.

When teachers permit the use of electronic devices, students must adhere to District Technology Policies, use the devices for educational purposes only, and must not cause a distraction or disruption to the learning environment.

Just as there is no cost to students for textbooks unless lost or damaged, there is no cost to students for the iPad unless lost or damaged. An optional insurance program is available.

Svi iPad uređaji škole Minnetonka imaju ugrađen softver za filtriranje koji blokira pristup neprikladnim stranicama bez obzira na to da li se uređaj nalazi u školi ili izvan kampusa. Ovaj ugrađeni filter poništava bilo koje filtriranje koje možda imate kod kuće. Mnogi kućni ruteri omogućavaju postavljanje vremenskih ograničenja za mrežni promet, tako da roditelji mogu odabrati da to urade.

Appleov alat Screen Time znatno olakšava razumijevanje korištenja tehnologije. Ova funkcija omogućava korisniku (ili roditelju) da postavi vremenska ograničenja i blokira aplikacije, kreira vrijeme odmora za domaći zadatak/spavanje/večeru itd., postavi zaštitu lozinkom ako je potrebno i još mnogo toga. Također bilježi ukupno vrijeme provedeno u aplikacijama, broj uključivanja uređaja i broj primljenih obavještenja. ( Imajte na umu da se Apple Screen Time može koristiti na školskim iPad uređajima, ali daljinsko praćenje neće raditi s vašeg ličnog iPhonea putem Family Sharinga kao što to radi za praćenje djetetovog iPhonea s roditeljskog iPhonea.)

Parents can setup additional site blocking, such as blocking YouTube if desired, through the iPad's Guided Access and Restrictions or though use of Lightspeed's Parent Portal. 

Djeca često imaju potpun i neograničen pristup neprikladnim stranicama na drugim uređajima kao što su kućni računari i lični mobilni telefoni. Stručnjaci toplo preporučuju instaliranje softvera za filtriranje i blokiranje neprikladnog sadržaja na vašoj bežičnoj kućnoj mreži.

When technical issues arise, teachers understand and students are not penalized. Media Center staff and classroom teachers are happy to meet individually with students to help troubleshoot technical issues. Occasionally, a student may need to drop off the iPad during the day, but since all work is saved to the cloud, there should be no disruption to accessing work.

An important life skill for students is to learn to save and back-up work (on a desktop or other device). Using cloud storage, students specifically back up their work on the iPad into Google Drive. Students have received instruction on this process and teachers remind students the importance of doing so frequently.
