iPads

=iPads=

There are three things to remember: 1. An iPad is not a computer. 2. An iPad is intended to be a personal device. 3. All this talk about iPads is not really about the device, it is about student learning and mobility!

iPad Basics

 * iTunes account: **

You’ve been assigned a “generic” itunes account of the form “icsdXXXX” which is tied to a district email address of the same name. Your itunes account is the full email address of the generic account. The password for these accounts is “xxxx” (see your school's Technology Mentor). For example, if you are assigned “icsd0200” your itunes account will be “icsd0200@icsd.k12.ny.us” and your password is “xxxx”. Whenever you are prompted to enter an itunes account when installing an app purchased by the district you should use this account.


 * Getting Paid Applications: **

Your generic accounts do not have a credit card tied to them nor do they have any credit. However, once enrolled in the Casper program you’ll have a **Self Service** app on your home screen from which paid apps are available (only available on the district network). The self service screen shows profiles, free apps, or paid applications which the IIT department makes available to iPads based upon the specific device, or the department or school the iPad is associated with. Please be certain to be signed into the App store with your generic account when you are downloading paid Apps.

If there is a paid app you would like, please submit a Snoopy Help Request from the IIT page of the ICSD website.

Please note, setting up email will make the device require a **passcode.** The iPad should then be set (Settings --> General) to reuire the password every 15 minutes.
 * Setting up your district email: **

From the **Home Screen**, click on **Settings.** Select “**Mail, Contacts, Calendars**”. Click on “**Add Account…**” Click on “**Microsoft Exchange**”. Enter your email address. Domain: icsd.k12.ny.us Username/Password: your ICSD username/password Click “**Save**”.
