Expectations for iPad Use in our Classroom
iPads are Fragile and Expensive!
 We need rules on how to safely handle them
 We need clear expectations on how we are supposed to
use them during class
 We need to know how to maintain them so that they
are always ready to use
 We need to know where they are kept and how to keep
them secure
 We need to know what unacceptable use is and what
the consequences are
