Keeping Devices Safe
It's great to see students bringing their devices to school. They are a powerful tool to help our learning. It's important that they stay safe so here are some important reminders to consider. Keep your device in your school bag between home and the classroom. We don't want to see them dropped. Use a case for protection. Make sure that they are locked away at interval and lunch. Student's need to remeber this. Consider engraving the device for easy identification. Activate the  'Find my iPad' feature on the device so that it can be located if lost.
Here is a video showing you what to do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVD32TfuMcE
I have also put this information on my blog, same link as above.
